I would love to see a hi def version of The Good The Bad and The Ugly, unextended. As in the the version that was originally released in the U.S. in 1966. I saw the extended version and it really doesn't seem to be necessary. The visuals from the added scenes don't look the same as the rest of the film and the audio dubbing doesn't sound right either cause Eastwood and Wallach just put their voices on those scenes recently for that new version and are much older now. Lee Van Cleef wasn't even alive to dub his voice in so they had to get some other actor to do it. I've heard these scenes were in the original italian release but having grown up watching the U.S. release, I just feel that's the way it should be. I've read that the italian blu ray release: Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo is a better quality remastering so maybe someone could use that as a source and take the audio from the original english version since the italian version has no english audio and put it together to make a quality version for those of us who like the film the way it was. THANKS!
