This Spring and Summer, Arrow Video will release definitive editions on 4K UHD & Blu-ray of Sergio Leone’s trilogy on the Man with No Name in the UK.

Starring Clint Eastwood in the classic role that made him an international icon, the western all’Italiana – or “spaghetti Western” – was never the same again after Leone’s groundbreaking A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964). Arriving in April, the Limited Edition release features a 4K restoration from the original Techniscope negative with newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella, new writing on the film by Henry Blyth, Bilge Ebiri, Pasquale Iannone and Eloise Ross, audio commentary by film historian and Leone biographer Sir Christopher Frayling, plus multiple newly filmed interviews and a slew of additional archival bonus materials.

Additionally releasing in May and June, Limited Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray releases will be available of both FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965) and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966), both featuring additional artwork from Tony Stella that will tie the three releases together through a collective spine across the packshots. 

Of course for me personally, I am very eager to see the full list of special features that will be on these films.

The special feature list for A Fistful Of Dollars has been announced and they are as follows.
