Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray director Sergio Leone's classic western
Duck, You Sucker a.k.a.
A Fistful of Dynamite (1971), starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn, Romolo Valli, Maria Monti, and Rik Battaglia. The release will be available for purchase on March 6.
Synopsis: From Sergio Leone, the acclaimed director of
A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and
Once Upon a Time in the West comes his final western--a relentlessly entertaining film that teams an Irish explosives specialist with a Mexican peasant-turned-revolutionary leader with thunderously explosive results.
Starring acting giants Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, a cigar-chomping, salt-of-the-earth peasant with a Robin Hood heart and James Coburn (Harry in Your Pocket) as John Mallory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fled to Mexico to practice his skills. Together, they're a devilishly volatile mix of anti-establishment philosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to liberate political prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped militia, and risk their lives on a train filled with explosives. Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone (Death Rides a Horse, Navajo Joe).
