I didnt get DRAH, as I just had got hold of a decent DVD shortly before I heard the DVD/Blueray version would be issued.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388554970113771183.post-16781534689025998182014-04-20T19:45:56.383-07:002014-04-20T19:45:56.383-07:00I agree that Grand Duel was Lee's last "s...I agree that Grand Duel was Lee's last "serious" SW, but by the time that came out we already had to endure Captain Apache and Bad Man's River, so to me, his high quality era ended around Sabata/El Condor.aaron@theBad.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610876186258437366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388554970113771183.post-26026856704882590632014-04-20T19:43:20.966-07:002014-04-20T19:43:20.966-07:00Good choice!

It would be interesting to hear what Kramer has to say about God's Gun. A few days ago I read about the film on a DVD review & it talked about Richard Boone walking off the set & not looking back so they didn't even try to get Boone to dub what scenes he did do but it also said the reason Lee & others didn't do their voices for the English soundtrack is because the producers saw the film already too far gone & refused to pay Lee to come into a studio for looping & hired a voice over artist for less money. <br /><br />I have a decent copy of Sabata but its not as good as this so I'm going to get it. According to Tom Betts, much of this film was shot in Italy so I'm assuming the town in the beginning may be in Italy but you can clearly tell when they are on location in Spain. I think most of Return of Sabata was shot in Spain except some interior shots & the neat opening sequence. The second film actually was not a Sabata film. It was called "Indio Black" but was changed to a Sabata film after the huge box office this film had in Italy & Spain. I'm sure Alberto Grimaldi was very pleased with the box office success & it did okay business in the United States. In one interview Lee said he was offered "Indio Black" but decided to pass on it so they offered it to Yul Brenner & he took it. Yul passed on sequels to Magnificent Seven & Lee took the last one in that series. Odd isn't it.BobOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271946822465853875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388554970113771183.post-58061770556430084982014-04-20T12:24:53.176-07:002014-04-20T12:24:53.176-07:00What a timely post!

I had been wondering whether I should order the set as an Easter treat for myself, being a not sooooo very new movie and not quite sure whether older films really can profit from blueray (and having seen it several times already) I had been wondering whether it is worth it. But as the quality of the images looks fine to me and I will be able to see it in Enlish for the first time ever. I JUST DID IT! Waiting for the Easter bunny'Pat the Postman to deliver now...Maggienoreply@blogger.com
