Arrow might have released 'Nekromantic', 'Driller Killer', 'Baise Moi', 'Audition' and 'Zombie Flesh Eaters', but I think 'Butlins: The Musical' might be a little too distasteful and controversial for them to unleash on the world !

'A Fistful Of Dollars' (1964) - Pre-order available from Arrow Films direct for Limited Edition Blu-Ray - UK$25.00 or Limited Edition 4K UHD - UK$30.00

Release date: April 21

"It wasn't really the first film of its kind, but the western all'Italiana - or "spaghetti Western" - was never the same again after Sergio Leone's groundbreaking A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood in the classic role that made him an international icon.

A nameless stranger (Eastwood) rides into the Mexican border town of San Miguel and quickly finds himself in the middle of a bloody battle for power between two rival families, the Baxters and the Rojos. Cannily realising there's money to be made from playing each side against the other, the Man with No Name soon finds himself caught in the crossfire as the body count escalates, his only chance of escape a standoff against the Rojos' mercilessly cruel leader, Ramon (Gian Maria Volonte).

Leone's clever and contemporary inversion of Western archetypes was not only the first entry in a much-beloved trilogy, but the director's first collaboration with the brilliant composer Ennio Morricone. Now fully uncut and freshly restored in glorious 4K with an arsenal of new and old bonus material, the Man with No Name rides again like never before!"

'For A Few Dollars More' (1965) - Pre-order available from Arrow Films direct for Limited Edition Blu-Ray - UK$25.00 or Limited Edition 4K UHD - UK$30.00

Release date: May 26

"In 1964, Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars introduced audiences to a new, edgier breed of Western. The following year, he demonstrated that the first film was no fluke with For a Few Dollars More, cementing Clint Eastwood's "Man with No Name" as a genre icon and spawning a legion of imitators.

In the Old West, two rival bounty killers (Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) hunt the same target: the psychopathic bandit known as "El Indio" (Gian Maria Volonte). The price on his head is high - but one of the hunters harbours a secret personal vendetta. Forming an uneasy alliance, the pair succeed in infiltrating El Indio's gang ... but as greed begets violence, the hunters become the hunted, leading to a final showdown in a circle of death.

Made with a much higher budget than its predecessor, For a Few Dollars More expanded the canvas of Leone's mythic, feverish vision of the western and further developed his unmistakable authorial signature. Fully uncut and newly restored in sumptuous 4K with a plethora of new and archival bonus features, the Man with No Name returns in deadly style."

'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' (1966) - Pre-order available from Arrow Films direct for Limited Edition Blu-Ray - UK$30.00 or Limited Edition 4K UHD - UK$35.00

Release date: June 23

"With the two preceding films in his "Dollars" trilogy having unleashed a boom in Euro Western productions, Sergio Leone knew that his concluding chapter would have to top them all. Armed with his largest budget yet, Leone created what is, for many, the final word on the subject - a violent, picaresque epic presented with operatic scope and intensity, with Clint Eastwood donning the iconic hat and poncho one last time.

A partnership between two scoundrels, Blondie (Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) goes awry, only for fate to intervene in the form of information about a cache of stolen Confederate gold buried in a graveyard. Each possessing a different clue to its location, the pair are forced into a distrustful partnership. However, the gold is also sought by Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), a ruthless mercenary with his own twisted code of honour. Thus begins a desperate pursuit amidst the mass destruction and absurdity of the American Civil War, culminating in an iconic three-way standoff inside the graveyard.

Mythic, cynical and endlessly entertaining, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly brings Leone's grand sense of dramatic scale to its apotheosis. Arrow Films is proud to present this landmark Western in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled, featuring multiple cuts of the film, all meticulously restored in glorious 4K, and a wealth of new and archival bonus materials."

I wonder if these are new transfers or the same one KL had in 2021?

There was a lot of kerfuffle because it's only the theatrical cut of TG,TBATU and no seamless branching option with the deleted scenes.

I shan't be bothering with it if it's the same release as KL.

My current Blu has both versions.

Anyway, we'll see.
