Hey, I have the Leone Anthology box set. Huge Warning Inside.

[T.H.]

This set DID NOT include individual covers for each movie. The Box is similar to that of a television series, with the "fold out" format. If you want individual box art, ala the GBU release, DO NOT  order this set.

This was news to me.

Do the movies have the original mono tracks?

I like the 5.1 surround sound mixes but I also would like to hear the correct musical cues in DYS.

some people can never be satisfied, lol, f-nig perfectionist!

Right. Who can be the first to answer this question: When John saves Juan from the firing squad, does he say "Duck, you sucker," or "Short fuse"?

[T.H.]

The box reads Enlish Mono and Spanish Mono for Duck and the Trilogy, excluding GBU which is identical to the SE release.

GBU is the only film that fits the description with Italian Original Mono. Yes, I know that doesn't help much.

Dave Jenkins, I have never seen DYS. I failed in trying to find a copy with a reasonable price tag (I'm a broke college student). I have been looking for a long time, and I am holding out on buying a region free DVD player for atleast another year or two. Sorry that I can't help. I will view the movie tomorrow and answer your question.

[T.H.]

He says "Duck, you sucker".

Took the words right out of my mouth.  Do they?  Please....

[dave jenkins]

Hmmmm. This may mean (though not necessarily) that the wrong music cues have been used again. Anyone able to make a comparison and tell?

Well I went on a search for the anthology today, checked the local Walmart, The Target, FYE, and Best Buy, nada, FYE at least had the SE two disc sets of Fistful & FAFDM but no DYS, oh well so nuch for shopping locally.
Ordered it from Amazon.

Would anybody who purchased the boxset or individual releases mind posting so pics of them.  I'm interested to see what the packaging looks like for each of them.  I already own the 2-Disc TGTBATU so i'm leaning more towards the other 3 individual releases right now.

Get the three individual releases. The box set isn't worth it if you already own GBU CE. Sorry, I am not computer savvy enough to upload pics, but I will try my best to decribe it to you:

The set is folded into four sections with the two discs of each movie comprising a section. The art on the back of the fold out is a beige/brownish interpretation of the cover art for the individual releases. There is also only one film booklet instead of four to save space. When I ordered this set I was expecting the four individual 2 dics collections packaged in the box, which was certainly not the case. If you own GBU, buy the three 2 disc collections.

Just a quick question: Will the individual 2 disc collections include the mini posters like GBU?

This was EXACTLY my own experience as well. I had $100 cash in my pocket and set out Tuesday on my lunch break from work to buy the set. Alas, I went to the Super Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Best Buy, and Target. (I ran out of time and didn't make it to Borders or Barnes & Noble.) The ONLY store which had ANY of the new releases was Wal-Mart, where I saw the individual two-disc versions of FISTFUL and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, but none of the stores had DUCK YOU SUCKER.

I gave up, went back to the office, and during my afternoon break I ordered the set for about $60 from www.deepdiscountdvd.com

Like Cigar Joe said, so much for supporting your local stores!   

[dave jenkins]

I've really gotten tired of hunting for DVD titles in brick-and-mortar stores. I looked in vain recently for the new True Grit CE, and decided never again. I'm getting everything from e-tailers now.

[ibarney5]

I went ahead and ordered Fistful of Dollars CE, For a Few Dollars More CE, and Fistful of Dynamite CE.  $44.26 total from DeepDiscount.  They are having a 20% off sale right now if you input a code(DVDTALK or ESPN for example).

What's this I hear about DYS having missing scenes?
