Before we ever “felt lucky, punk.” Before Clint Eastwood was Dirty Harry. Hell, before Clint was a Mayor in California and talked with a chair at the Republican National Convention, he was nameless. Or, to be precise, the man with no name. In just a few weeks you’ll be able to re-live that role again, as The Man With No Name Trilogy Blu-ray release date has just been announced as June 3.
The Sergio Leone “Spaghetti Westerns” did not simply add a new chapter to the genre…they reinvented it. From his shockingly violent and stylized breakthrough, A Fistful Of Dollars, to the film Quentin Tarantino calls “the best-directed movie of all time” (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly), Leone’s vision elevated Westerns to an entirely new art form.
This definitive Leone collection of the most ambitious and influential Westerns ever made includes more than five hours of special features that uncover buried gold in these gritty classics, plus a newly remastered version of The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
