Now I can give my sister my "The Man with No Name Trilogy" box set for Christmas. She's not anal enough to care whether or not they're the best version, and for some strange reason she loves these movies.
Oh yeah... BLONDIE!

There are some covershots up at play.com for the region 2 versions:
Hopefully the r1s will look better. The r2 GBU looked like this:
And it was not in a nice box like the r1 version, but in a plain looking digipack.

I just hope they include the original mono tracks this time. I absolutely hated the new gunshots on the GBU dvd.

I noticed DVD Savant complaining about the gunshots on the Yakuza Papers films also - wasn't he part of the reason they changed the sound effects on the GBU SE? Not sure what his problem is with these sound effects - they sound fine to me.

They should have been changed back for the DVD release, but no...

I also hope they keep the original mono tracks on these releases.
I kept the original release of The Good The Bad & The Ugly for that very reason. Thankfully it was 16.9 enhanced and I can enjoy those cool sounding gun shots unlike on the extended release
I don't get the 'thin' excuse though. It 'may' have sounded 'thin' if they attempted to add directional pans for the effects. Yet if they left them as they originally are. They would play fine theatrically.
But I suspect the 'thin' excuse was they did not sound 'loud' or 'bassy' enough.

I've only seen it in bits and tiny pieces. The film seems like it's "trying too hard".
Am I wrong?
