Will "Fistfull of Dollars" & "A Few Dollars More" get remastered treatment,
like they did for "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly"?

Doubtful, as TGTBATU got a remastering due to it being someone's pet
project that was then spurred on by a theatrical re-release. The main
reason for the remastering was a project to incorporate the excised 20
min from the US version. The other 'Dollars' movies have no such
footage in great length. I haven't heard of any such project for the
other films.

It would be nice if they were on the books to be remastered though.
"For A Few Dollars More" is a pitiful DVD!

They could at least anamorphically enhance them so then I would buy
them and put them next to TGTBATU on my shelf.

Yes, I think. I was at a screeing of the Leone films in late 2002 in
Hollywood and the MGM Home Video rep was there as part of a Q&A, and
made a casual reference to 'remastering' the four Leone westerns in
their library, noting that they would be adding the extra footage and
adding new dubs.

He explictly said 'four' films which I reacted to immediately, and
noted that 'TGTB&TU' would be first and they would work backward in
the trilogy, and since he said four films I figured they would then
get around to 'Duck You Sucker.'

He also explictly asked the crowd if they knew anyone who could do a
good Lee Van Cleef voice.

So there is some evidence that the plan was at least at one point to
remaster and re-release these westerns on DVD (though I didn't get the
impression that the other films would get added footage and new dubs.
but I could be wrong).
