Why does this always happen. I wait years and years for the US to distribute a film and then finally give in and by the imported release. What happens next you say....the US finally releases the film. It as if they wait for me to spend my money elsewhere...bastards. So here is the most recent occurrence:
Yep that's
Duck, You Sucker also known as
Fistful of Dynamite in a nice cool looking collectors case not unlike
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from a few years back. Good news is that they will also have the same editions for
Fistful of Dollars and
For A Few Dollars More, two titles I have been holding of on for a while in hopes of this very occasion.
Duck, You Sucker is awesome. One of Sergio Leone best, in my opinion, right behind the great
Once Upon a Time in the West. Here is the special features, which I believe are the same as my recently purchased (well recently gifted I should say) UK release:
- Fully Restored and Remastered 157-Minute Feature Not Originally Released in U.S. Theaters
- 2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
- English DD5.1 Surround
- French and Spanish Dolby Surround
- English, French and Spanish subtitles
- Audio Commentary by film historian Sir Christopher Frayling
- The Myth Of Revolution Featurette - Frayling on Leone’s political leanings and his
maturing method and style - Sergio Donati Remembers Duck You Sucker Featurette
- Once Upon A Time In Italy Featurette - Behind-the-scenes of putting together an exhibit on Leone
- Sorting Out The Versions Featurette - A look at the different versions of the film including the originally released 100-minute version and the 157-minute version included on this disc, the long flashback scene and United Artists’ decision to rename the film
- Restoration Italian Style Featurette - John Kirk discusses restoring the original Italian version for the first time on DVD
- Location Comparisons: Intercutting Film Clips with Current Footage Of Locations Used Featurette
- Six Radio Spots
- Original Theatrical Trailer
- Eight-page booklet
I reccomend you all by this baby come June 5th!
