Well, the Millcreek one is Blu, though I'm not sure it's legit?

They're probably working with the same transfer. The most recent edition of the Keoma / Grand Duel double feature Blu-Ray actually credits Blue Underground in the small print on the back cover.

Recently I had a chance to check out Blue Underground's release and here are my thoughts: http://10kbullets.com/reviews/g/gran...e-underground/

Also when I asked them about Mill Creek Blu-Ray release of The Grand Duel and Keoma Blu-Ray. They told me that they only have the rights to these two films on DVD.

Thanks! Looking forward to this one.

So the new Blue Underground DVD is as goid as the Millcreek Blu ray and has better sound? Thats the impression I got from the review? Day one fir me then. Only have a bootleg of this.

How is the Mill Creek Blu-Ray? I just noticed it was only $5 at DVD Planet, and I'm kicking myself 'cause I just placed an order there yesterday.

I haven’t watched The Grand Duel yet, but I watched Keoma three times in a row one night. It’s a nice transfer, nothing eye-popping, but still very nice looking. The movie itself is a surreal experience to say the least.

$5? I’d pick it up. I’ll probably just stick with my Mill Creek BD.

The Mill Creek release looks very good and is well worth the $5 asking price.

I should also point out that the Blue Underground release is region free, while the Mill Creek release is only region A.

Also if you are a huge fan of Spaghetti Western films like me, the audio commentary included with the Blue Underground release is very informative.

Thanks for the recommendations. The Mill Creek Blu of Keoma/The Grand Duel is on it's way. Even with shipping and tax it was less than 8 bucks. I spent more than that on lunch today.
