The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly DVD/Blu-ray question

[cmiller99]

Why's that?

(I'm not very well versed in the different versions of these movies, I only know the basics).

 

[EVILFACE]

It is my favorite of the trilogy. I'm sure all of them will get the same treatment.

 

[cmiller99]

Ah, right, you mean top quality restoration in general. Yeah, I hope so.

Besides the color correction (removing the yellowishness) we also made the following corrections and adjustments to create our 162 Minute cut of the Theatrical version:
1. Original 1967 UA Logo
2. The “flip cut” transition/optical wipe from "Tuco talking to Blondie and taking a bite of his cigar to being hung" was restored to its original version
3. The fadeout to black of the "gun shop owner with the sign in his mouth" scene is now a cut to exodus scene.
4. The fadeout of the "Blondie passing out as Tuco is bringing him water" scene happens exactly 1 second later than how it was on old MGM DVD release of the Theatrical Cut.
5. The dissolve from "night" scene to "coach arriving at the mission" scene now fades up from black
6. The shot of the train leaving the station (with Tuco and Wallace on it) was supposedly longer in the US theatrical cut, before cutting directly to Tuco in the train and not dissolving out earlier to the early morning camp scene - Our 4K of the 161 minute cut matches the old MGM DVD of the theatrical cut exactly.

Suffice it to say, I am ecstatic. Between this and Mask of the Phantasm, these next couple of months are going to be goddamn delightful.

Not 4K, fail!

1080p version not 3D, fail lol

I ordered both

 

[Khev]

This is so freaking awesome.

Now Terminator 1 needs a proper blu-ray with original audio as well.

 

[jye4ever]

I preordered my VHS copy of this movie for my 8K tv.

 

[Khev]

Since I only have one TV at a time I'm keeping my 3D 1080p until it gives up the ghost so I'm fine with blu-rays for now.

Hopefully by the 2018 models the industry will have stopped with the HDR licensing battle between Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+

Just let that crappy static HDR10 die already and decide on a single format, hopefully DV wins but supposedly HDR10+ is as good so who knows.

I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference between the 2 anyways so just pick a standard already and let consumers rest.

Of course 8K tvs will probably bring with it rec2020 12-bit color depth at 2,000-4,000 nits of peak brightness and we'll be right back where we started!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Outside of tech people, the majority probably doesn't truly give a crap about resolution
