Can't believe this! I watched this movie last night!

About movie : Easily one of the top 10 Spaghetti Westerns.


Google Translate:

The label Explosive Media will now release the film "The Juggler of Sierra Madre" by Sergio Sollima. The film is scheduled to be published on this Blu-ray Disc in a media book. In addition to the Blu-ray you will not find in the media book two more DVDs on one again, the film is included on the second disc are additional extras will arrive. Rounding out the release is then passed through a comprehensive booklet, to which there is no further information, just as the equipment of the discs. The Mediabook to 12 October appear.

Hope we get English audio with this. That would certainly rock.

If those specs are accurate, this will be awesome. Lee Van Cleef!

Amazon.de has pictures of the backcover and there is stated:
Audio: Original German dub, new German dub, Italian + English dub
Subtitles: German + English
Special Features: Isolated Score, 24 page booklet, multiple trailers, documentary with Sollima and Milian...

This just underwent a new DCP restoration so I'm not surprised to see Blu-rays start to filter out. May import this German one, but I suspect there will be a U.S. version before too long.

That 28-page booklet...think it's only in German or also has an English translation?

There will be English audio with this, I don't know why this has not been properly posted with the release on https://www.blu-ray.com. You can see it on the backcover.

Best,

Thanks for posting. I just placed my order.

Great news! pre-ordered.

Arguably the greatest non-Leone Spaghetti Western ever made.

A good candidate. But Corbucci has made some really epic movies. My favorite is The Great Silence. When I first saw it, I didnt know what was coming. Mind blown to say at least.

Yeah "The Great Silence" is also my favorite non-Leone Italo-Western.
Hope there will be more releases than the announced Japanese one...

Mine too!

So wait... this'll have the uncut English dub? Hardcore fans of the film probably have the, erm, "custom" Franco Cleef DVD, which has snippets of the English dub cut from the US version (Corbett meeting the monks, Cuchillo with his wife, etc) sourced from (I believe) a Greek VHS.

Either way, seeing this on blu-ray at all is amazing! Hell, we still don't even have a DVD version in America Since Sony has the rights to it in the US, maybe it'll take Twilight Time to release it

EDIT: Nevermind, I read that Grindhouse Releasing is apparently working with Sony on getting it released here in the US. I have to be careful saying "Grindhouse" around my girlfriend, as she'll start humming the "Funky Fanfare" tune

Grindhouse Releasing is a very small company, and with the tragic recent death of the main individual behind the company, Sage Stallone, it may be awhile for this in the US.

Anyone know if this is region free?

That is true, but I wasn't sure when Grindhouse first broke the news. Either way, I *may* still get this one. I mean, it has English and Italian, plus the full 110 minute cut (so used to seeing 106 minutes for PAL). If it is indeed region coded, at least I have a BD-ROM drive now, so at least a computer is an option
