The Good, The Bad and The Ugly / Re:Bad sync in Collector's DVD (R2) (R1?)

That  really sucks man

It really ruins it for me. I can forgive Wallach's dubbing in those new scenes but can't forgive that "out of sync". Well, I just have to settle for the old dvd.

Yea, it sucks bigtime. I still think the biggest drawback with the remastered audio is the gunshots. They were sooo amazing in the original version. Heck, I've heard farts that sound better than the gunshot in the remastered version.

Giuseppe Tornatore

I guess Oliver Stone deserves to be mentioned too, and maybe also Don Siegel for those of us (including me) who like Eastwood-movies

This is always so hard, especially if Leone doesn't count.

Favorites:
1. Cinema Paradiso (Directors Cut)
2. The Adventures Of Robin Hood
3. The Deer Hunter

There are so many new/restored releases and old treasures that I want to get so listing a top three is impossible.

For a Few Dollars More / Re:Monco or Manco?

I just noticed today that inside my FAFDM DVD cover there's a cast listing where Eastwood is listed as "Manco/Monco"

iirc Blondie never really tries to kill Tuco. Tuco on the other hand first tries to hang Blondie and would probably have shot him in the desert if it hadn't been for "the carriage of the spirits"   At the end blondie could have easily killed Tuco but not only does he leave him alive, he gives him 50% of the treasure. Tuco can be both a good guy and a bad guy as we learn from his meeting with his brother. The list of Tuco's crimes shows us that he's not exactly an angel.

Yea, I've seen some great pictures of the cemetery when there was snow there. From a distance it looked like sand and the pattern of the bushes on what was once the graves made it all so much more visible.   But hey, when you live in Norway you don't go to spain when there's snow there

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly / Re:Does a night pass?

Oh yea, a night definitely passes. At one point it gets very dark, you hear the crickets and snoring. The cannon fire gets more distant and it all makes it seem like a lot of time passes. Just  another brilliant Leone-scene.

That is so nice! Thank you for sharing! I'm surprised that the landscape has changed so much. There's so much vegetation now. This makes me wanna go there too, maybe winter time.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly / Re:The Bandit Monco

« on: August 21, 2004, 03:59:56 AM »

I dont think this is a mistake. I have seen the track named both "The Bandit Monco", "Il Bandito Monco" and " The Bandit with Missing Hand". I'm not sure if that last one is just a bad translation or the actual track name printed on the cover, but that is what's listed on chimai.com. I have the 2001 GDM special edition of the soundtrack and there it is listed with the italian name "Il Bandito Monco". It is 2:43 long but I think only 17 seconds of it is played when Monco (the guy who survived the attack on Tuco in the first scene of the movie) finds Tuco right before the famous scene with tuco in the bath-tub.
