Leone Special Editions

Duck, You Sucker is awesome, I like the beginning but Mallory is where it really starts to get interesting.

is it in the series like was it made for the series kinda how FFD FDM and GTBU

No, Duck, You Sucker is not in the same vein as Leone’s other Westerns but it’s just as good as his first two. All the trademark Leone stuff is present here, but this time he deals with a different type of story. A brilliant film, and severely underrated.

Under-watched more I think. I know a lot of people who like it just as good as Leone’s other movies…

cant wait to see it.

Just got done watching “Duck”. I was suprised at how much grain was in the transfer, but I didn’t mind the added sound fx. The explosions sounded particularly great.



Looking forward to Frayling’s commentaries.

So is Duck, You Sucker worth buying a duplicate?

Hell yeah.

i think the extras are not that good most of the time. nothing in comparison with the extras on the French DVD of My name is nobody.

there all two disc right?

correct

well then there has to be a shit load of special features.

There is a collection of trailers for Tonino Valerii’s westerns. There is an interview with Terrence Hill, one with Tonino, one with Ernesto Gastaldi (writer). All those run between 10 and 30 minutes each. But the best is yet to come: a 50 minutes interview with screenwriters Luciano Vincenzoni (who wrote GBU and few $ more and duck you sucker) and Sergio Donati (Once upon a time in the west, duck you sucker). Vincenzoni and donati are writing partners, they wrote more than 20 films together.

The German Special Editions for A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More also had the mono tracks… that’s why a bought them :slight_smile: Unfortunately they’re interlaced so I think the MGM’s are gonna have the edge in picture quality…

from what i’ve read (and i’ve read alot in the wake of the release of them), and from what i’ve seen, none of the MGM rivals the Rc2 German paramount’s picture quality. plus, the paramount’s FAFDM is a few seconds longer in the fistfight scene as well… they took the MGM footage and pimped it up a notch. dunno about the entire interlaced thing

I recently bought The Good, The Bad, The Ugly’s special edition 2-disc dvd collector’s set. Do the other movies in the new Leone anthology have similar editions? Also, if yes, are there any new special features in the new anthology collection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[/quote] It was Leone’s first and only stab at a Zapata! So don’t expect the usual 10 minute showdown. It is definitely his bloodiest, if it is fully restored.

Once/America is his bloodiest, IMO.

[/quote] You haven’t seen the new DYS set yet. Completely restored, this makes(at least the US cut) of America very tame. The last time I saw the uncut Fistful of Dynamite was about 15 years ago. It is very bloody. With additional scenes, not in the version I saw, it should be gruesome.

his least bloodiest was definatly fisftul but its still great.

Uh, scroll up 14 posts above.



But seriously, where’s all this gore you’re talking about in DYS? Sure, it’s got a high bodycount, but the bloodshed does not surpass Burt Young getting shot in the face or Fat Moe getting beat to an extremely bloody pulp in Once/America.
