Once Upon A Time In The West Home Video History (1985-2024) NO VERSION IS CORRECT DUE TO PARAMOUNT

#onceuponatimeinthewest #sergioleone #homevideohistory #physicalmedia I give an overview of all the home video releases and Paramount masters for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, which sadly like all of Sergio Leone's filmography is cursed with edits, issues and other problems dating all the way back to the original 1968 release. Paramount has performed multiple restorations and to this day errors persist, the audio is unrestored, footage is still missing and a scene is included that was removed by the director and was not in any 1968 release version. This is made even more frustrating by the absolute crap effort of the new "Paramount Presents" 4K UHD release of the film where destructive usage of DNR, extreme over-compression and sticking to their edit of the film has only insulted the film and the consumer. 00:00 Introduction 03:14 Basic description of longstanding issues never fixed-no video release represents the film as intended! 13:06 Home video major debut-1985 pan and scan release on VHS, Beta and Laserdisc of 1984 version 18:53 1994 remaster-pan and scan VHS and letterbox Laserdisc of 1984 version 21:44 2003 Special Collector's Edition DVD 27:55 2011 Blu-ray release, new restoration and some restored footage 34:08 2024 4K UHD and Blu-ray, new restoration and same problems, Paramount Presents A Piece of Crap 47:28 CVC Italian PAL Region 2 DVD of 1990's Italian Extended version 50:14 Final Summary-THERE IS NO PROPER UNCUT FULLY RESTORED VERSION BECAUSE PARAMOUNT DOESN'T CARE TO DO THINGS ACCURATELY OR CORRECTLY
