Lee Van Cleef Gunfighter

Received much faster than promised. I wanted this set to protect my disc’s, which were loose inside the case. The case itself was damaged enough that the case can’t close. So far the quality of the movies are great, so no problem there. Gotta love Lee Van Cleef!

These are some of Van Cleef’s best movies and a joy to watch.

I bought this as a gift for family member but my husband done bought a copy first as he wanted the Death rides a horse movie and then after he got this six pack he said they were all great so I got it as gift for Christmas for a guy I never know what get .he like my husband they liked manly movies so this should fit that bill for him as it did my husband.

This is an almost-complete compilation of Lee Van Cleef spaghetti westerns that are now in the public domain, i.e. for which the copyright has expired. The only one missing, afaik, is "Beyond The Law". There are many other spaghetti western compilations of public domain material, but I haven't found any that contain all six movies on this compilation. Three or four movies at best.In this compilation, all movies are displayed in 4:3 full screen even though they weren't all filmed that way. As a result, you'll see characters with the tops of their heads cut off, half a person on the edge of the screen, etc. One of the other compilations I have contains "The Grand Duel" in widescreen format, so I was disappointed to find it in full screen here.The picture quality is neither better nor worse than any other public domain compilation I have. If you've never seen one of these public domain compilations, picture quality is sub-par: it's noticeably worse than standard DVD quality, but not so bad that it's un-watchable. If you have a large, high-def TV, you'll probably find the picture quality more annoying (don't watch a blu ray disc, then switch to one of these - you'll regret it). I'll be watching these DVD's on my second TV, an old 27-inch 'standard' TV.The two discs come in a metal case with embossed detail on the front - a nice touch. But inside the case is a cheap piece of plastic that does a poor job of holding the discs. I heard the discs sliding around inside the case even before I removed the shrink wrap. When I opened the package, both discs had scratches on them (luckily, they did not affect the ability to play the discs). I removed the cheap plastic piece and put the discs inside a couple of paper CD/DVD holders I had lying around. You'll probably want to do the same.The above adds up to a 2-star rating. If you want to call it 3-stars because you're getting 6 movies for (at today's price) $7, that's up to you. I'm not going to do so because of the questionable packaging and the fact that all movies (such as "The Grand Duel", available in widescreen format elsewhere) are in full screen format. Had this come in a standard two-disc plastic case, or contained a widescreen presentation or two, I would have graded it higher.Update: in March 2012, Encore Westerns (a standard definition channel, at least it's broadcast to me that way) showed 4 of the 6 movies on this compilation. The picture quality for all was far superior to that on these DVD's. So, I've recorded the Encore Western tv broadcasts to DVD-R's and placed them inside this set's metal box. I'm not going to lower my rating for this set to 1 star, but I am tempted ...

Thought I was getting great movies they sucked and picture and sound quality were awful. Not worth the money

Good value for money and a treat for us Van Cleef fans.

This was a gift to my oldest son who just came home from Afganistan. He as well as I are big Lee Van Cleef fans. He enjoyed the Disc's very much. "Death Rides a Horse" is one of our favorites. All in All a great experience.

sound was terrible . voice overlays were even worse.
