I checked through the whole desert scene, and it doesn't appear there. must be a deleted scene. Where'd ya find this frame?
If it is only one frame, then maybe the cutter made a mistake, and it is a leftover from an unused shot.
Who sent you these pics?
Wow, if this print has shots not in the current known versions of the film....wouldn't that be the find of the year
There's a group of us over at originaltrilogy.com who are in the process of acquiring a 1971 IB tech print of Il Buono Il Brutto Il Cattivo from a seller in Italy. IB tech prints are known to be fade proof and therefore reflects the actual timing during the film's original theatrical release. Once acquired, this print will be scanned at 4K and used to regrade the colours of the highly controversial MGM 4K BD that has a (piss) yellow/teal push that's a popular trend nowadays.There's a small yet highly passionate and devoted group of us that strongly believe this film has been done a disservice by MGM for over a decade. We've decided to take matters into our own hands and invest our time and money into producing a PROPER home release that this film strongly deserves. If you wish to contribute to this endeavour I will be starting a new thread there very soon. We could use all the help we can get.Here's a link to the current thread if you'd like to bring yourself up to speed:http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-4k-nightmare/topic/16690/
Financial. poita @ OT will scan the print for free, which is a HUGE (on the order of thousands of dollars) savings. This project would never happen without access to his scanner. I will pay for the print ($1600) but we don't have the funds to cover the cost of shipping ($300) and 16-20TB of HDD space ($600?). There are several members who are willing to donate money to this project but we still need more funds.
