Brief Synopsis:
The film has great moments and great music, but the story comes to a screetching halt in various moments. So, I fixed that.
Intention:
The most evident cut is the entire removal of Manco and Mortimer meeting with Indio and his gang in Aguas Calientes and getting ousted as bountyhunters.
Special Thanks:
Thank you Artisdead for the cool poster. And thank you The Scribbling Man for the title suggestion.

This edit has a great pace and the first hour flows really fine and quickly.
But sadly the last part is the edit feels too rushed for me and too many elements are missing for me to fully enjoy the ride.

I wish for a version that is a litte bit longer and fills out some of the missing pieces and this edit would be a blast

I love the way fan edits can enhance a film by removal of distractions that subtract from the viewing experience. Streamlining the p[ots for maximum engagement. Totally worth a watch this, And a rewatch. Even though some holes do appear quite blatantly they are inconsuqencial. In cutting to the chases, and the duels, what is left slacking on the sidelines is not missed. Its a sure shot.

Great rehash here it flows really well!
