WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?
Looks like we have our work seriously cut out for us. IIRC the Mondo derived from an Italian restoration sponsored by the Leone family. It always seemed about as close as we had gotten to the original film on video.
The detail is in the new MGM 4K edition but damn, what were they thinking? GBU has never looked like that. I don't even think a IB print would be that oversaturated. And the color cast is just all wrong.
Can't believe Fistful has a new restoration. The Italian BD and 35mm print that has been around in the last few years were from an Italian restoration from the negative, an the new print was beyond gorgeous and completely mindblowing in fine details. (The scene of Ramon's reveal to Joe at the Rojo's table really shows off the white bits that are floating in the air.)
That outtake reel was incredible.
