YES! DYS BD!

The English audio can be brought in from the remastered MGM LD which only misses the full shot of the final flashback and Juan's final line in front of the camera with the film title. This last bit I actually found on the old Image LD.

I just want to know if this is different form the MGM master. The DVD version was almost greenish, but the restored 35mm looked spectacular.

And that Image LD is just awful for PQ. Imagine a fuzzy 16mm reduction with further degraded footage restored after many years and all this transferred to video tape in the early 90s.

As far as a new GBU BD, it needs to happen. Badly. In fact it needs to be done right by having both sides of the globe talk to one another about all these parallel Leone restorations that continually happen and perhaps for once everyone just get their heads together and work with one another.

At this point, just do a two disc end-all version with Disc 1 being a fully restored International version with English mono and titles--the option given to watch the scenes cut from worldwide release. Disc 2 is a fully restored version of the Premiere version/Italian release version the difference being in whether or not one wants to see the grotto scene. Or, if it possible to do so, a single seamlessly branched transfer.
