Il mio nome è Nessuno aka My Name Is Nobody (1973)

[Novecento]

Post screencaps please.

Yes please. Seeing as the DVD was incredible, I'm expecting this BD to be mind-blowing.

Sorry, boys, no can do (I don't have a computer with a blu-ray drive). Blu-ray.com, though, imports a fair amount of discs; if we get lucky they'll decide to review this (maybe the new FAFDM, too).

Blu-rays differ quite a lot from DVDs and taking screencaps isn't as easy.

I have a PC with a blu-ray drive but none of the software I have tried or the usual methods will allow me to take screencaps. Some of the members of other forums take photos of paused images on their TV, some use an external video capture device (HD PVR) which connects direct to BD players and captures video or individual frames at resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080.

Dickieduvet at Blu-ray.com has posted a couple of screenshots:

Neither do I...

I hadn't realized that as have never tried. Copyright issues with software I suppose?

I guess the usual caveats of things looking different in motion and different TVs with different calibrations will apply anyway. It's always good to have a basic reference point though.

Well, that seems nigh on useless.

Kraut Blu-ray in da haus!

Thoughts?

I'm going to place my order for this BD and The Big Gundown once the Dollars films are released in a few days.

I will patiently wait for your feedback. Meanwhile I'll stick to those old pesky DVDs.

Hmmm, well, there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that, for the lame, the halt, and the region-bound, the disc is playable in Regions A,B,C. Also, this transfer is apparently taken from the same master used for the old Tobis DVD. The bad news is that this transfer is apparently taken from the same master used for the old Tobis DVD. In its day, that master was state-of-the-art. But that day is long gone. The technology has evolved and a new scan could have produced spectacular results. As it stands, the blu-ray improves on the DVD slightly in the areas of details and clarity. Ironically, that added clarity shows up the problems with that old transfer. First, speckles, which abound early in the film, can be more easily detected. Second, the flesh tones are still off: not in every scene, but in many the faces of Hill and Fonda are too red. Finally, for at least the first half of the film, there is some kind of image fluctuation in the lower half of the frame that seems to show up every 10 seconds or so. At about the point where Stefanelli gets killed it ceases, but then reappears for the scenes in New Orleans.

Language options are German or English audio, German or English subtitles, or no titles. There is nothing Italian offered.

I've always liked the DVD, and I'm not unhappy that I have the Blu-ray that gives me a slight upgrade over that. People who like the film who have never had the Tobis DVD should be pleased with this release. If you have the Tobis DVD, you may not find the Blu-ray upgrade necessary.

Thanks for your review.

Does this mean the Dollars films will use the Tobis DVD master as well? Time will tell.

[Novecento]

Thanks for letting us know. I guess I'll just hang on to my DVD then.

Does anyone know anything about the French BD? I'd love it for the extra features, but I'm worried about locked-in subtitles.

I just downloaded this and am looking forward to watching it. The only Terence Hill movie I've seen is "Watch Out We're Mad" with Bud Spencer, and I loved it!

I had a lot of fun with this one 
*sighs* It just makes me even more sad that SL never made any more westerns like this.
