Just received the Man With No Name trilogy Blu-Ray boxset that was released in Hong Kong 13th of May. The boxsets to be released in other countries in June should be the same as far as image goes. Below are few comparisons of the A Fistful of Dollars disc with the Italian disc by RHV. I will add some more images later here http://www.spaghettiwesterndvds.com/movies/a-fistful-of-dollars-per-un-pugno-di-dollari/screenshots/ but these three will do for now.

MGM (HK disc) left, RHV Italy right (if in doubt check the filename):

As far as the colors go, the poncho was originally green/olive green according to Eastwood.
Notice the cropping on the MGM disc. Quite a lot of the image is missing from the sides and top and bottom depending on the scene.

The MGM disc of A Fistful of Dollars is available separately from Hong Kong as well as the “sequel” For a Few Dollars More.

Also remember the previous post about the For a Few Dollars More Blu-Ray discs.

Just a quick message concerning Sergio Leone Blu-Rays. Amazon.com is now listing a Clint Eastwood: The Man With No Name Trilogy Blu-Ray boxset for pre-order with a release date of 1st of June 2010. Movies include A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Click on the cover image to go to Amazon.com and pre-order your copy now!

I’d expect the transfer qualities to be the same as to what is being released in the UK in June… (About which I wrote earlier here http://www.spaghettiwesterndvds.com/2010/03/21/spaghetti-western-collection-blu-ray-available-for-pre-order/)
Extra material very likely as well. Audio and subtitle options might vary a bit (but I’d be surprised if the English options were not the same on both sets).
