I've been wondering for a long time now about the scene near the end where Manco breaks in to steal the gold and gets caught.

When we see him right after getting in through the roof he's wearing dark makeup.
However when Mortimer lights the room his dark makeup is gone.

Has it ever been discussed whether this was a makeup blunder meaning we weren't suppose to notice it or a continuity error where he should've had it on when the lights came on?

My guess is we shouldn't have noticed it.

Also, it's easy to look down on Corbucci, who is often considered as nothing more than a genre moviemaker.
And for this reason, it's also elitist to chose the "quite obscure" Corbucci since Leone did reach mainstream and critic recognition. For instance, QT didn't even mention Leone during the Django Unchained promotion, while we know that Leone has been one of his major influences since Reservoir Dogs.

The "elitist" point is something I always consider in someones taste.
I was talking about Fabio Testi in Dead Men Ride and while I think he's brilliant  someone said his performance AND the film is much better than any Clint & Leone film... OK, the performance might be debatable but the film???
I thought this might be elitism rearing it's ugly head.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE films like Django, Great Silence, And God Said To Cain, Cemetery Without Crosses, Dead Men Ride,A Stranger In Town, Blindman, Sartana (I could go on and on) but as good as they are I don't think they're on the level of Leone's films.
Perhaps I'm biased since I've loved the Dollars Trilogy most my life whereas I didn't discover Corbucci until about 20 years ago.

OK,
I'm sure this has been discussed here already and some may find comparing the two wrong but on a few other forums I come across people who think Corbucci is a better filmmaker.

While Corbucci is great I don't think he's in league with Leone.
Leone's Westerns are like opera where there seems to be no false notes.
I don't get that from Corbucci.

I've brought up the fact that FISTFUL was the first SW as we know them today and while Corbucci made a Western before him it took FOD to inspire DJANGO...in other words Corbucci films before were more of an American style...no?

Has Corbucci ever talked about Leone?
I would love to hear anyones take on these two fimmakers

OK, thanks Lil Brutto.

Thanks Dave,
I'll have to see what they're saying there.

Does anyone know if the YIFY torrent is from the Italian BluRay?

It's 2.39GB

Has anyone here heard  that MGM might redo THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY on BD?
I may have gotten the wrong impression from another forum though.

I can't find the fan dubbed/subbed download for the superior Italian BD so I'm about to order the Italian BD (even though it's not English friendly) but as I'm poor I would hate for MGM to release it later.

Thank you for your valuable work, Depp.

I had an eyegasm when I saw the German FAFDM...it's MINE!

Yeah, DJANGO might be stretching things.
But dragging a coffin and ending in a graveyard is kinda Gothic.

Sure!

I noticed it's coming out on BD next month...thanks.

I'm a fan of Gothic Euro-Horror and of course SW's

I'm wondering what what films would fall under the sub-genre of Gothic Westerns?

There's...

PALE RIDER
UNFORGIVEN
AND GOD SAID TO CAIN
DJANGO
SARTANA

Can anyone add to this list?

I voted "don't know"

I think both Leone and Kubrick are among the greatest filmmakers.
And  I adore BARRY LYNDON.

There's no doubt Kubrick could make a great Western but I'm not sure if it would be as great as Leone's top tier work.
Who knows?
I would have loved one though.

This is just speculation but...  I think Sergio was a bit concerned about the audiences reaction to the deed and put in the reaction .
Frank from OUATITW took it one step further by killing an entire family including a child in cold blood.

OLIVER YWIST by a wide margin.
In fact I don't like his later films at all.

Cool,
Maybe there is hope for a RA release this year.

I went ahead and ordered the Italian Collectors Edition of AFoD a few days ago.
