The Man With No Name Trilogy (Remastered Edition) [Blu-ray]

If you are or know an Eastwood junkie or fan of the quintessential "spaghetti western" this trilogy is the best of the best of Westerns. The price was right, & my hubby was happily entertained by Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach & other greats for many an afternoon or evening.

As a kid my mom.loved Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. However she always watched them on VHS. While she is no longer here I decided to buy this to see if my mother was right... She was. Not only are they all great films, but each film has been digitally remastered with sharp and clear picture and sound. With a 4K television each film is awesome and so detailed A+

I've owned a much earlier version of The Man With No Name Trilogy on DVD widescreen since the early 2000's. I loved all three and I've watched them many times to say the least. I purchased the Blu-ray version for my Step Father but as it turned out he wanted a Roku badly so I purchased a Roku for him and kept the Blu-ray version of The Man With No Name Trilogy (I also gave him my original The Man With No Name Trilogy on DVD as they were in excellent condition and his Clint Eastwood collection was beyond pathetic considering he shares the same liking as I for movies including spaghetti westerns.) When I made the purchase I had glanced over a review saying something about improvements made to sound but I didn't give it much thought and just assumed the Blu-ray version couldn't be improved much over the DVDs I had once owned. I finally got around to watching the Blu-ray versions of Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I don't know if it's because I now have a 7.1 theater, the Blu-ray sound was dramatically improved, or both, but the Blu-ray versions of these classics are phenomenal. Not only are there massively noticeable improvements to the sound, but the Blu-ray version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly includes all of the cut scenes not on the television and DVD version I owned (ie. the first of which is a 5 minute scene after Tuco robs the gun merchant and is preparing a chicken and potatoes in a cave.) Some people many not care much about this but the Blu-ray menus I think are very nicely done, not cheaply done as I've seen many other DVDs do with old movies. Next time around I watch the movies with the added narration track. 5 stars for sure.

Excellent Blu-ray. All three movies really good. excellent picture and sound.

Good old movie

I watched the newly released remastered version of [B]"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"[/B] last night.. Leone's brilliant Prequel to the "man with no name" trilogy. I must have seen every version of this film beginning with US theater versions and VHS versions ever since the 1970's... I have to say this new 4k scan made from the original camera negative and not some inter-negative or cobbled parts of prints is superb... the best the movie has ever looked... even Theater versions I have seen. I have two other Bluray versions that were remastered, but they were done in a HD 1080p scan and not 4k scan, and were made from corrected prints and not the direct camera negative... they can not compare. in addition to the new resolution, there is some very interesting framing that has never existed (except for the Italian original release)... there is a lot of new frame area round the tops and bottoms and more notably the left and right sides. this doesn't reveal any additional really important images, but it does reset the layout to something more akin to Leone's original vision... and I do agree it looks much better. More relaxed and much less compressed, which is great even though we have all gotten used to the cropped tight image that we've been accustomed to over the years of seeing this movie. there is one element that is controversial... it is the "TINT" of the movie. the movie has a very distinct yellow tint to the image... something that no one foresaw, but it has been confirmed that this "yellowish tint" as being Leone's original vision... and combined with the additional framing area, restores the directors idea for the movie. Overall I have to say that this movie benefits greatly from this 4k scan as many of the scenes actually come alive with depth and dimension almost to the point where they look three dimensional.

These three movies by Sergio Leone were the start of the "Spaghetti Western" genre. All three are great movies but “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is in a league of its own. If you want to see another GREAT movie by Sergio Leone, then watch “Once Upon a Time in the West”. It is a long movie (165 min) with a well-known cast. If you want to see a young Lee Van Cleef, then watch the 1953 movie “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms”. He plays the solider that shoots and kills the monster at the end.

I've been a fan of Eastwood's spaghetti westerns since the original theatrical releases, having owned them in VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, and now Blu-Ray. These blu-rays have by far the best video quality I've ever seen of these films on a TV (a 52" Samsung LCD in my case). The disc box says these are restored versions of the films and they certainly appear so to me. The picture sharpness and detail are excellent and I did not notice any of the typical "old-film" artifacts such as specs or streaking; very clean pictures. The box states all three films have 2.35 aspect ratios, and while I didn't actually measure them, they appeared that way to me. Colors also looked very natural on all discs. I listened to the DTS-HD Master Audio sound tracks bit-streamed out to my late-model Onkyo receiver. Though the original film sound tracks were recorded in mono, these surround tracks seem well done, with surround signals moderate and and not artificial sounding. Supplementary content is minimal though interesting, a look at a collection of promotional posters and other materials used world wide in the original theatrical release promotions. I would have liked to see making-of documentaries and commentaries by Eastwood and the films' producer and director, but overall I'm not complaining. These are the finest home video versions of these films I've ever seen and I'm happy to now have them.

J'ai acheté ce coffret car "Pour une poignée de dollars" n'est jamais sorti en DVD par chez nous : problèmes de droits sur la VF... Et comme je souhaitais avoir les trois films d'un coup, je me suis tourné vers ce coffret, alléché par le fait que les autres VF devaient y figurer. Je l'ai reçu aujourd'hui, et : - Pour une poignée de dollars : VOSTFR (normal) ; - Pour quelques dollars de plus : VOSTFR / VF (comme indiqué) ; - Le bon, la brute et le truand : VOSTFR... et pas de VF alors que c'est marqué sur le boîtier du DVD ! Je suis donc un peu ennuyé de ne pas avoir droit à ça, la VF étant tout de même excellente. M'enfin, avoir la trilogie pour moins de 20 €, c'est déjà beau. Je précise tout de même pour les têtes en l'air que les DVD sont en zone 1, donc illisibles chez nous sur les platines de salon et même sur PC. Il faut trouver le code de dézonage de son lecteur ou bien utiliser un logiciel comme AnyDVD sur PC. Une dernière chose : l'image n'est pas de bonne qualité, il n'y a eu aucune restauration.

.....No esta doblado en español,pero tienes el audio en el ingles original y subtitulos para sordos en ingles.la calidad de las restauraciones es suprema y estan llenos de extras como documentales sobre sergio leone,entrevistas con clint eastwood o audiocomentarios del especialista en leone sir christopher frayling.por este precio,olvidate de las peladas ediciones de divisa!

This pack is fantastic. 3 Great movies for a pretty low price. The visual quality on all three movies are INSANE! How they were able to get such high visual quality out of movies that are over 50 years old at this point baffles me. Especially in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The visual quality is so high you can see the pores on the actors faces even at a mediumish range shot. Now, there is one thing I should address about The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that some others have raised concerns about. That would be the "Yellowing" of the movie. Is it really that bad? Well, no, it isn't. In fact, I didn't even notice any sort of "Yellow" filter or anything over the picture like others have said. I couldn't even notice the so-called "Yellow" sky, because any time the sky wasn't just white (Like it was in the original non remastered version) it looked pretty damn blue to me. No yellow at all! The only "Yellow" I could notice was that sometimes, maybe 2 or 3 times during the movie, some yellow objects were over saturated. They really popped out. That said, it was only the objects that were already yellow, and it didn't at all carry over to anything else weirdly enough. It was just some of these objects, like sand in one scene, and an actors face in another with the sun on him, for example, that were really over saturated for some reason. Again, every other color in these scenes were absolutely normal. This pack also contains a ton of great extra content, like commentaries, deleted scenes, interviews, trailers, that sorta stuff. One thing that felt like it was missing was The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly didn't come with a "Then and Now" part like A Fistful of Dollars did (I forgot to check if A Few Dollars More has it, but I'm assuming it does too). It would have been even more awesome if this set included that, because I'd love to watch it.

Two of the Blu ray cases were fine but the one for 'For a few dollars more' was cracked and one side broken away from the hinge. Box was abit bent out of shape as well

Por fin conseguí la trilogía de El Hombre sin Nombre, protagonizada por Clint Eastwood, conformada por las películas, "Por un Puñado de Dólares, Por unos Dólares Más y El Bueno, El Malo y el Feo" Tres de los mejores western que existen. Las películas llegaron en excelente estado y rápido. Incluyen Idiomas y Subtítulos en Inglés y Español, así como Francés. 100% recomendable para los fans de Eastwood y del Spaguetti Western.
