Hours of spaghetti western nirvana
If you enjoy spag westerns, you're going to love this box set! Start with "A Bullet for the General." Like many other spaghettis, the film takes place in Mexico during the raucous revolutions of the early twentieth century. Bandits roam the countryside robbing and killing under the guise of revolutionary armies seeking social change. One band, led by the boisterous El Chuncho (Gian Maria Volonte), earns a living by stealing weapons and selling them to a powerful warlord named General Elias (Jaime Fernandez).

terrific quality
If you've been exploring the world of spaghetti westerns at all, you've no doubt come across some pretty poor transfers. Stuff obviously made from worn out, scratched up and dirty film. You often have to be philosophical about it -- if you want to see some of these old movies, it's a matter of putting up with the ragged quality or do without. This set from Anchor Bay, on the other hand, is really something. They have done a fantastic job of restoring and transferring. The extra features are really nice as well -- interviews with Tomas Milian and Franco Nero. None of these movies is going to replace The Good the Bad & the Ugly as my all time favorite movie, but I really enjoyed getting to see them. I highly recommend this set.

Product Description
Once Upon A Time In Italy, a generation of visionary filmmakers hijacked the genre of the American Western. Suddenly, standard stories of cowboys and Indians became a hyper-stylized opera of immoral heroes, ruthless action and extreme violence. These startling new films became known as Spaghetti Westerns, and movies have never looked or sounded the same since!
In BULLET FOR THE GENERAL, Gian Maria VolantE9 (of A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS fame) co-stars with Klaus Kinski in one of the most politically daring and viciously intense westerns ever made. The legendary Franco Nero stars in TEXAS ADIOS, a tale of lawmen out for justice where vengeance knows no borders. And Spaghetti Western icon Tomas Milian stars with Fabio Testi and Michael J. Pollard in FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE, the brutal revenge epic directed by Maestro Of Gore Lucio Fulci. The action-packed COMPAD1EROS brings together superstars Tomas Milian and Franco Nero for the first time ever, along with acclaimed director Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO), a stunning score by Ennio Morricone and a jaw-dropping performance by Jack Palance. Franco Nero returns in the mind-blowing KEOMA, directed by Enzo Castellari and considered to be the last true masterpiece of the entire genre. These five classic films are all presented totally uncut, uncensored and loaded with exclusive Extras for the absolute ultimate in Spaghetti Western mayhem! Top to learn more
