I put together a quick video that shows some of the alternate footage that's been released on Italian dvd/web compared to the original.

Hot damn!

any one got this? what is the NEW Original Outtakes, Re-takes & Hidden Gems?
please new cut scenes?

Nope. Same video of outtake clips that's been available on YouTube since 2014. A missed opportunity, I would have loved to see the original deleted opening.

Over at blu-ray.com, a poster calling himself "Kino Lorber Insider" made this additional comment:

The FISTFUL OF DOLLARS restoration was done by L?Immagine Ritrovata a few years ago, we had released that master on Blu-ray in 2018.

This time around instead of color grading the UHD Pro Res file, we decided to go back a step and receive the logarithmic restored 4K files, the delivery of these file and the needed conform cost us an additional $10K or so, but since the mastering house recommended it and said the final result would be much better, we decided to go ahead.

This reviewer likes the new KL 1080p transfer (which comes with the UHD) better than the "2018" disc. Unhappily, he doesn't compare it with the Ripley's, which of course has been the standard until now. But at least we know the BD uses the same new scan used for the UHD.

Beaver compares new disc with Ripley's; very similar. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film10/blu-ray_review_151/a_fistful_of_dollars_4K_UHD.htm
