A coffin-dragging gunslinger and a prostitute become embroiled in a bitter feud between a merciless masked clan and a band of Mexican revolutionaries.
S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Leone's sequel. Arrow's Dollars trilogy 4Ks are the versions to get.
Leone's epic lives in the top tier of reference discs alongside Dune and Lawrence of Arabia. The transfer does justice to the widescreen desert photography and the Morricone score hits different in lossless.

In 1870, Japanese ambassador Sakaguchi and his entourage travel by train to Washington to deliver a valuable sword to the President of the United States, a gift from the Emperor of Japan. On board the same train are two robbers, Link and Gauche, ready to make their move…
C-Tier Eagle Pictures 4K. Leone's masterpiece western, and the C-Tier is the problem. Bill Hunt warned the 4K would be divisive, and it was. The disc uses a BD-66 with grain reduction, which led to mass cancellations. Paramount announced the 4K in 2023 and then took over a year to release it. People are sticking with their Blu-rays until a better transfer materializes.
