STAR TREK and Sergio Leone - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

That's right-STAR TREK. Paramount missed a big opportunity with these DVDs supplement wise. Trek fans or just casual fans get nada (trailers don't count). Look at what MGM poured all of its efforts into the James Bond movies, audio commentaries, featurettes, story board, and still galleries. This is their most lucrative franchise and they need to show that they care about it. As for Sergio Leone, He's got three more movies that haven't made it out to DVD yet. Once Upon a Time in the West, the director's cut of Duck You Sucker (aka A Fistful of Dynamite) and his biggest opus, Once Upon a Time in America. Just imagine having that movie one disc and not having to flip it or change tapes and just watch continuously like we would have in the theater. We'll just have to wait and see

I think you're missing the point. It's about the films, first and foremost. To have the earlier trek films restored like they have been, that's well worth my money, and yes trailers do count as a supplement, the only one I really care about having.

Damn, for a moment there I thought we had a new genre, the Spaghetti Star Trek

I had images of Mr. Spock facing down a Klingon (an Italian actor poorly dubbed into English) with moody Morricone music in the background.

Star Trek did do a western, Spectre of the Gun.

Taxi- That was an awful episode from the largely forgetable 3rd season. Wasn't that one guy from Sergio Leone's movies in that ep.? His name eludes me right now but he played the "Bad" guy in the "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". You know, the hawkish nose and thin slits for eyes. What is that actors name? Lee Van Cleef!! That's it! Was he in "Spectre of the Gun" or am I mistaken?

If Lee Van Cleef is in Spectre of the Gun, then he isn't listed in the credits, and nobody's made mention of it much over the years. I think maybe they found a look-alike?

(Plus, his Internet Movie Database listing doesn't show Star Trek anywhere.)
