LVC on Blu-ray (US)

With the release of The Grand Duel on Blu-ray last week, I thought it would be a good idea to look at which LVC titles are currently available in high definition.

Below is a list of what is available through our partner site Amazon.



For a Few Dollars More

Format: Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Subtitled, Widescreen

Language: English, Spanish

Subtitles: English, Spanish, French

Region: Region A/1

Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1

This was a retailer exclusive at Target, but has now gone wide.  In my opinion the best looking transfer of the 3 Dollars films available in the US.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Format: Multiple Formats

Language: English

Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Region: Region A/1

Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1

In my opinion a pretty weak transfer, with the Italian version being far superior in image quality (comparison blog entry coming soon!)

The Man with No Name Trilogy

Format: AC-3, Dolby, DTS Surround Sound

Language: English

Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Region: Region A/1

Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1

Same discs as above with Fistful of Dollars included.




Magnificent Seven Collection

Format: Widescreen

Language: English

Region: Region A/1

Number of discs: 4

This is a set of all 4 movies, and includes The Magnificent Seven Ride.  Well... some LVC fan I am... I don't own this, so I can't comment on it!

Escape from New York

Format: Multiple Formats

Language: English

Region: Region A/1

Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1

Far superior to the region 4 version which looked like an upconverted DVD.



We'll take a look at some other region LVC discs in a future post.
