Once Upon a Time in The West (DVD)

Me! | 1969 | Sergio Leone

[Number57]

I found a copy of Sergio Leone's "Once Upon A Time In The West" for $9.99 at Family Fare. Widescreen & special features. W00t.

BUT.

My glee was made sad when I saw the SECONDARY STICKER (in other words... a sticker placed upon the shrink-wrap): "DISC MADE IN MEXICO"

haha. ah hah

[gotribe]

What's wrong with made in Mexico? You can thank an Italian who ripped off a Japanese to create films backed by Italian financiers for those spaghetti westerns.

[buwaya]

Whats wrong with made in Mexico ?

The darn thing was made in Spain by Italians in the first place.

[Number57]

DISC WAS MADE IN MEXICO

Not the movie. And that was a funny reply :P

[Number57]

I'm talking about a movie made 30 years ago... I bet it's being reproduced in Mexico with no real cost and shipped across the border. YAY NAFTA!!!

$.75 cents American = $10.00 cost to me

w00t

[hiredhand]

So don't buy it. :-)

[skr]

Spaghetti westerns, where the red blood is the color of spaghetti sauce and the women's hair and makeup straight from 1960s Europe.

[Number57]

Okay. I won't buy G.M. anymore.

[Number57]

Why not buy it?

Why don't you defend America? Just asking :)

[Emmett McCarthy]

I don't see the problem.

When I asked what the difference was between a higher priced "American" Fender Stratocaster and a "Mexican" Fender Strat, the answer was that one was made in Los Angeles by Mexicans and the other was made in Mexico by Mexicans. I figured I'd rather have Mexicans working in Mexico so that's what I bought - for a couple hundred less.

[Number57]

Yeah well.

I'm talking about a cheap DVD.

Yay.

Mexico wins.

[hiredhand]

Fine by me...don't buy G.M. I won't again either. You're very certain that I won't "defend" America because I've merely suggested that you simply not buy the silly thing.

I'm having a hard time believing that you got your shorts in a knot over a DVD made in Mexico. When was the last time you tried to buy something that wasn't foreign made from L.L. Bean? It's everywhere friend. Not just on DVD labels.

I did "defend America". For 13 years...two overseas long tours plus one extension mixed in there...one CONUS long tour...finished up with a CONUS short tour...from before we bombed Libya to after Desert Storm I. I've even got TWO DD-Form 214s. :-)

Don't assume that because some of us aren't willing to blow off steam and share indignance with you that we're not willing to "defend" something.

I have to agree with most of the others on this thread. I just don't see what the problem is.

Like I said...don't buy the thing.

[Jack Black]

People. This is a great movie. It's about three hours long and has amazing cinematography. It opens with a super slow motion take that includes an amazing picture of a fly landing repeatedly on a mans face. Like most of the spagetti westerns it has gritty costumes and awesome scenary. The story in this one is really good too.

Highly recommended.

[Getready]

Yeah, I got the same. They were only $7.50 at Target about
6 months ago. You know it only costs < 1.00 to make a disc,
so the cost cannot be that much...
If you want to beat the foreign companies you gotta do it
yourself! <Union dues, taxes, OSHA requirements, Social
Security is killing american basic business...

[lowbridge]

Those Mexicans didn't get a dime out of me.

I shoplifted my copy of "Once Upon a Time in The West".

Sure showed them, huh? :-)

I'm kdding. I bought my copy from a local supermarket. They were having a sale of two DVDs for 10 bucks. So, I got my copy for 5 bucks.

I just dont understand the movie.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a far superior spghetti western.

[Number57]

First & foremost, Henry Fonda plays a very evil man.

And Chuck Bronson... w00t

[Number57]

lol.

Yes, you got a good deal :p

[Number57]

When Mexico & North America = USA: Be scared. Because soon South America will be incorporated. Then Europe.

woo hoo. Socialism for all!!

[Number57]

LOL... I avoid lables like the plague.

Yeah, I bought this DVD, and afterwards found out it was made in MEXICO.

Thank you, BTW. I don't care what your political bent is... you served our country. Thank you, from me and my family.

[hiredhand]

Black Jack - Maybe I'll check this movie out. We DO like westerns. I'd never heard of it until now. We watch movies now and then on weekends. :-)

Number57 - Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it. :-)
