Giù la Testa

[Leo Anthony Vale]

Sergio Leone's 'Giù la Testa' is finally coming out on DVD in widescreen 06-05-07, in a 2 disc set.

 

Better known as 'Duck, You Sucker!' and 'A Fistful of Dynamite' & released in various lengths.

This is almost the original version except for a couple of shots of trip wired horses.

There too much smoking to be able to get away with removing those shots.

 

Circuit city and Best Buy have it listed as 'Giu la Testa' the Italian title, yet there is no Italian track.

English, French and Spanish, but no Italian.

That would have been the olive in the martini.

 

So many extras:
