A Restored Masterpiece!
Sam Peckinpah first big budget film was also the first to be taken away and released in a shortened version. But now, 40 years later, most of the missing footage has been located and restored, with the entire soundtrack remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital, and a completely new score composed. The new scenes complete the electrifying depiction of an obsessive Union officer (Charlton Heston) who leads a squad of Rebel prisoners (Richard Harris), ex-slaves and criminals (James Coburn) into Mexico to hunt down a band of murdering Apaches - which raises the question: who represents the greater threat? Featuring one of the finest casts ever assembled for a Western, Major Dundee is an authentic American classic, at last presented as its legendary director intended!

Advertising is not what you get. - 3.75 out of 5 (11/10/2005)
I bought a copy of this new "restored" film. I was disappointed to find that a few scenes were still missing. For example, during the first ambush at the river, the part where Sierra Chariba states "Who do you send against me now!" is missing. Most of the added scenes were in the theatrical release and various television cuts. I'm happy to see them all together but I expected more. The advertised trailers were not on the DVD, nor was any missing footage of a knife fight between Mario Adorf

Excellent Restored Version - 4 out of 5 (9/22/2005)
Having been a Major Dundee fan for many years I was very pleased to see it on DVD in the original widescreen aspect ratio. The colors were excellent, especially when compared to the lousy colors and quality of VHS. When you see the picture in 2.35:1 aspect ratio it just blows you away. This is one movie that should never be seen in pan and scan. I felt as if I was seeing an entirely new movie. The extra footage helped to give a better understanding of the film. My only criticism was that the s
