The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Italian Cut Reconstruction in English)

[Dek Rollins]

First version is now up.

I figure it's best to mention the things that are or might be incorrectly missing in this reconstruction.

Using this list as reference, the only "confirmed" part of the Italian theatrical cut that isn't in this reconstruction is the intermission, with "end of first half" and "second half" title cards. I haven't found any preserved images of these title cards to use as a source. If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I'd rather not watch this film with an intermission anyway, at least until a true, complete restoration of this cut is made.

None of the "unconfirmed" additions are included in this reconstruction, obviously due to lack of source material at my disposal.

So I was checking through it, quite some nice work. Though the extra Italian footage whenever it is supplemented in is noticeable, there's thankfully quite a nice lack of any noticeable audio distortion as it makes the jumps for the most part. Though the regrade is nice warming the picture up a bit, I do admittedly wish the color matching pushed more of the exaggerated IB Tech colors.

I wanted to approximate the IB Tech look without going quite 'too far' if you know what I mean.

I don't know if it'd be of any use to you (or how you would even find it), but kk650 had two regrade projects for this movie in the past (one against the Mondo, one not). Aim was to produce an Italian cut synced to the original English mono (along with his usual regrade effort)

^ I remember those, never grabbed them though. I'm almost certain both of his projects were just the same cuts presented on the respective Blu-rays, with the Grotto scene removed from the MGM one.

Apologies for not updating about the secondary versions. I've been taking some time to work on other projects after completing the first release.

Last call for the complete English version of this project. I'll be taking it down in the next couple days to make room for the Italian version, rendering as we speak.

I enjoyed the project Dek. Thanks for putting it together.

To everyone who grabbed this, thanks for checking it out. It's gone now, and uploading the Italian version will commence shortly.

The Italian version is up.

For everyone who already got the English version, this is in the same folder using the same link if you feel so inclined.
