OVERALL: Draw
The US, German, Dutch, and UK editions for having 2 cuts of the film, and having both the 5.1 bump and 2.0 mono tracks (although the mono track is lossy).
The Italian only has an Italian 5.1 track, but do note that its 2.0 mono track is lossless.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
There are several versions of the film:
- Extended Italian Version (175 minutes) which includes exclusive scenes never dubbed into English.
- 1968 European Theatrical Version (165 minutes)
- 1968 US Theatrical Version (145 minutes)
- 1984 Restored English language theatrical version (165 minutes) which restores an extended scene of Charlies Bronson's character standing up after the first duel, previously only found in the 1968 US version, into the European version.
- 2011 Restored Version (166 minutes) which restores two shots of Jack Elam (15 secs) in the opening, Bronson's character's aftermath in the first duel (7 secs), and a few seconds of Frank Wolff at the McBain farm. In addition, the closing theme song has been properly resynced to the image. -
