.Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy

Leone’s Dollars trilogy was re-released as a boxset in 2007 with similar design packaging to the 2004 Special Edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. i had already bought the anniversary edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly a year after it came out (which would be around 2005) so i ended up just buying the 2007 re-releases of Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More separately. (also waited for them to go on sale. Fistful was on sale for 9.99 while Few Dollars More went on sale recently for 14.99)

the actual disc design looks a lot like the Taxi Driver dvd i posted before, but that one was designed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. i can’t find a listing for the packaging design of Leone’s trilogy.

trailers:

btw, some of the interviews that were in the 2004 release of The Good The Bad & The Ugly (titled Leone’s West and Leone’s Style) end up on the extras disc of Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. so you’re not really getting that much original extra interviews if you had all 3 movies.

i just find this figure hilariously charming out of all the Insurgents Wilderness Gruppo.

not listed anywhere on the packaging, proceeds from these series go to various non-profit organizations. more on Patrick Ma and Rocket World

saw these guys on Will Ferrell’s Elf dvd
see any resemblance?

yes, i do.

It’s word association. You say “I’m a designer,” and they hear “I draw pictures all day.” It would take too long to explain what you really do, so take the words right out of their mouth and wear them proudly.

also came with these in the mail:
