Editor's Notes

Note

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.
