Customer Reviews

Cool for collectors
I like the fact that the distributor is releasing special collectors edition packaging...I'm not sure if I am going to purchase this one or the whole set because they look super cool!!!!

BAD CUT of an Awesome movie
I don't know why, but this wonderful movie has been cut by about 20 MINUTES. Blasphemy! I don't know where to find a full version containing the original theatrical version with Region 1 coding, but this disc certainly isn't it.

In regards to the movie, it's a brilliant meditation on the reflexive nature of the Spaghetti Western genre as a back-and-forth between Japanese and American cinema replete with beautiful cinematography, clever action sequences, snappy dialog and constant meta-humor within the plot, characters, and sets. It is at all times vibrantly colorful and thoughtful in its execution, and I would rank it with "HERO" in terms of aesthetics and "KILL BILL Vol. 2" in terms of tone and action.

All of which is why I'm giving this particular package 1 out of 5. Not a single bit of it is a waste of time! Boo, butchers!
