For A Few Dollars More (Special Edition) [DVD]

I watched A Fistful of Dollars and really enjoyed it then remembered I bought 'For A Few Dollars More' for my husband as a gift and I have never watched it. I enjoyed this film just as much maybe even more to be honest because I loved the Lee Van Cleef's and Clint Eastwood's chemistry together. For once Lee Van Cleef is a good guy in a movie also, normally he is cast as the villain. I have been informed he is also in the last of the trilogy 'The Good bad and the Ugly which is now on my to do list to watch.Have to make a mention of the soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone because these soundtracks as they are so much the parts of these films. Also the music was brilliantly combined with the 'watches' which is a crucial story line to the film.Sandwiched between the original film and the last this film can be forgotten, or when re-watched people remember what a fantastic film this one is.The year 2020 has been a year of stagnation and uncertainty but for me it was when I discovered the 'Dollars Trilogy

normallly, this western on DVD would receive a 5 star rating from me.However,like many other films on DVD this has been spoilt by slicing out scenesto make the film shorter.originally released on film adout two and a half hours long, it found it's way onto VHS reduced to two hours and eight minutes.this one on DVD Which is being called a SPECIAL EDITION,has been reduced to two hours and six minutes, missing out a scene towards the end which once again destroysyet another of Sergio Leone's masterpieces. Manco and Colonel Mortimer are climbing back through the roof of the grain store, where Indio has hidden the money from thebank robbery at El Paso,they are caught by Indio's gang and are being beaten up byall the gang members. The scene is shot in the outside yard, then is suddenly cut and they are inside with Indio saying "What is the sheriff doing now", which makes no sense at all! The correct scene which has been sliced out and thus ruining the film even further, shows the gang members laughing and then Indio realising he needs them alive for a little plan of his own, ordering them to stop it, to whichGroggi replies "Why let them live?" then Indio says, "All things at the right time"!Then comes "What is the sheriff doing now"? The film in it's entirity is arguablythe best western ever made, and during the 60's and 70's was the most popular western worldwide. Special Edition my arse! Sergio must be turning in his grave atwhat's been done to all his magnificent spaghetti westerns!

Good

I like the DVD, but on one or two occasions just for a second or two there was a blank screen on the DVD.

No dislikes.

Brilliant western my favourite one of the dollar western films. Great it's in HD much bigger improvement over from watching on TV sd days. Great film score, location's, acting ect. I love the light touch of humour in this movie "he's tall" and "why don't you come back after I've eaten" brilliant movie.

item arrived in excellent condition thank you

You can practically taste the tequila, heat and dirt of Old Mex with Messers Van Cleef and Eastwood forming a curious alliance to track an outlaw-cum-psychopath who leads a posse of Banditos on a bank robbing rampage. Cinematography is classic Spaghetti Western style. Close-ups of narrowing eyes and twitching finger tips run together with Ennio Morricone's rising mexican trumpets to peak before a pistol is drawn and a cacophony of gunfire ensues. Afterwards you'll be lucky to receive even a raised eyebrow from the ever-cool Eastwood, though you may get a witty remark from Van Cleef who boasts the coolest voice of that era. Not much talking. The way a good western should be.
