10/10
The best of the post, but avoid the Italian DVD
15 January 2005
So, here we are. This movie, in its theatrical acception is one the best "Fagioli Western" I ever seen. I know it, pratically line by line (like the Alexander's Army...:)), and is funny exact like the original. If someone thinks that is poor in script is, imho, wrong, because everything is perfect. The gags are still funny, except for one or two that better in the original but, after 33 years (i wrote this in 2005!!) they still works, also better than in some Hollywood craps...the real problem is in the Italian DVD (manifactured by Medusa, owned by the Italian prime minister...:((). The first thing is there are a lot of missing scenes, including one "Leone-Morricone" trumphet one, that was in the original theatrical, that was quite more than 1 minute long!!!! It was placed after the restaurant and before the one when they meet the bad guys boss that offers them money "to keep eyes closed". Maybe was a scene too much political (infact, if my memory is not wrong, was about the people's conditions in the village). The other missing scenes are placed, with perfect video restoration and a "mysterious" bad audio, in the "Cut scenes" section of the DVD. I cannot believe! This is a very bad thing. When the movie passes on TV the scenes are all at their places (is more than 3 minutes of unnecessary cuts!). Why on DVD this bloodbath? So my rate is 9,5/10 for the movie and 5/10 for the DVD. We want the original ones. Thanks
