Color 162 Minutes 2.35:1 Rated R
For three men the Civil War wasn’t hell… it was practice! By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever made, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Screen legend Clint Eastwood (A Fistful of Dollars) returns as “The Man with No Name,” this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $200,000 and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard close-ups, exceptional camerawork captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. Hailed as “the best directed movie of all time” by Quentin Tarantino, this epic masterpiece was directed by the great Sergio Leone (Once Upon a Time in the West) and co-stars Lee Van Cleef (For a Few Dollars More) as Angel Eyes and Eli Wallach (The Magnificent Seven) in the role of Tuco. Music by legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Death Rides a Horse).

I love that movie.

[captainjoe]

I'll be the first to say it: I wish the theatrical cut was the one getting the 4K treatment.
Still awesome to get some Leone in 4K

[TwoTecs]

I love the implication here that releases previously considered unviable have become viable again. More great news for the format.

[Christian Muth]

No HDR logo or info. So, will this be SDR Rec.709?

Also, aren't 100 gig discs triple-layer?

Are A Fist Full of Dollars and A Few Dollars More also coming?

Why not both?

[mastadge]

Yes, I appreciate a 4K of the extended, but isn't the theatrical in 4k the most important thing?

[DR Herbert West]

Day one!

[imsounoriginal]

Nice, both cuts. Will definitely get it.

Only hesitation is whether the rest of the trilogy will follow suit and I should just wait for the set. But I guess we may not get the rest unless this sells well. So whatever, I'm in.

Maybe this also means that Valkyrie might still come out after all?

Their Mad Max and Hannibal covers also don't have the HDR logo.

[Brian81]

Can't they just use the 4K they're working on as a basis for the theatrical, and if scenes are different, just piece those in and grade them to match? Anyone willing to be the guinea pig and question them on this? I am not an expert on this film. They're going to get flack for putting the second cut as just a BD...the existing BD...the one that many weren't happy with back in 2017.

[brainofj72]

Oh HELL yes! Thank you, Kino!

[kristoffer]

Is this a limited release or is only the slip limited?

The slip is limited.

[Scottishguy]

Consider me shocked.

[Pieter V]

Another major title which helps the 4K format forward.
