FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★★
NOTES: Previously attempted to be screened by the BFI Southbank twice, double-billed with Victor Kossakovsky’s The Belovs. Both screenings were cancelled by a lockdown. It looks exactly like a print they’d keep in their archives; it almost looks like a print that could be scanned for at least a 2K transfer. Possibly imported from America, as the print begins only on the Fine Line logo, changeovers bear minimal dirt or damage and the cues look just like cigarette burns. A fantastically preserved print.

NOTE: I guess I was the only person who wanted to show up to support Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa in their fight against the giant sand beasts at 10:30 in the morning on a Tuesday. :(

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★½
NOTES: MGM’s 2003 extended English version, reprinted in 2008 by the BFI and Park Circus. Several light scratches and a straight line down the middle stuck through the entirety of the print. Changeovers did not have cue marks but did little harm to the audio except on the fourth. Fifth reel experiences some damage midway; these imperfections, however, very well suit spaghetti westerns like this.

SCREENING: One-off
DATE: June 19th
CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema
LOCATION: West End
NOTE: Previously paid £15.99 to watch this, as everyone else did on release. Did not receive an expanded, post-lockdown theatrical run but would often be screened as a repertory, and this was the film’s first indoor screening in the UK.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★½
NOTES: First changeover cut off some audio, second came with almost jail bar like scratches and the second reel encountered a few green scratches followed by a cut that actually befuddled the audience, but the rest of the print is impressively clean. And yes, the staff did wait until the right moment in the film to open up the curtains.
