The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) V2 EXTENDED (Without Grotto Scene) REMASTERED 1080p DTS x264 KK650 Regraded

I was finding the shot source from the 35MM IB Tech print just before the Grotto scene very distracting due to the very different colours and framing compared to the previous shots in the scene so with this V2 release I have removed the the 35MM IB Tech print and used the same shot from the remastered blu-ray so it fits in seamlessly with the rest of the scene. I had no choice but to do a transition due to missing frames in that shot on the remastered blu-ray compared to the theatrical cut. It no longer takes me out of the film so I much prefer how it is now.

With this release of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly I have left all the additional scenes in the Extended Cut in apart from one scene, the Grotto scene with Tuco, that has been completely cut. I personally like all the additional scenes included in the Extended Cut but I find the Grotto scene so jarring that it takes me out of the film, so this release completely removes that Grotto scene, making The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Extended Cut much more satisfying for me and I imagine others that dislike the Grotto scene as well. Enjoy!
