Hi, everyone. I'm kinda new at this, so please excuse me. First of all, I think what you guys are doing is AWESOME! I would love to see a US theatrical cut, just like the 98 DVD. Derived from the new 4k release, or Mondo. While preserving the look of the Mondo release. One cool thing about the US theatrical cut is the way it ends. It just fades to black, and the music just continues to play for almost a full minute. I think this is the best way to end it. Not with credits or anything else on the screen.

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!
