OVERALL: Draw

Confusing comparison: R2 Japanese -release has both English and Italian audio (with English subtitles), but it´s non-anamorphic and cut. R2 German -release (by "New Entertainment World") is anamorphic, but also missing some scenes. "Starmedia" -release is cropped and has only German audio.

Please see the image-comparison from HERE.

CUTS:

• R0 The Best of Spaghetti Westerns America- Timeless Media Group - We assume this has the same cuts as the German/Japanese releases (90:46 PAL->NTSC).
• R2 Germany- New Entertainment World - This release has more "black picture" at the beginning and the end of the film, and the actual running time is 90:33 min (PAL). These following scenes are missing though:
  *A short clip of Martin's(?) hand is missing after Billy Kane's gang leaves the train scene.
  *Around 46:18, after Martin has shown Ricky his gunbelt. The next scene has them coming with a wagon and a woman singing. Both NEW and SPO discs are missing about 3-4 seconds of the wagon scene. In the NEW disc's german track the woman's singing starts already at the end of the scene where Martin and Ricky are looking at the gunbelt. In NEW's and SPO's italian and english tracks the singing starts when the wagon scene starts. In Starmedia the singing begins when the complete wagon scene starts.
  *Around 1:19:43: 1-2 seconds is missing of the two outlaws talking after Ricky has jumped out through the window. In the german track of NEW disc the sentence spoken during the missing part plays right after Ricky jumps and before we see the outlaws. English and italian tracks on both NEW & SPO are silent until the outlaws are seen.
  *The end of the movie is missing the final shot of guy riding out of town. (91:02 PAL).
• R2 Germany- Starmedia - 90:45 min (PAL).
