The Tarantino/Avary podcast covered Corbucci's Sonny & Jed and it's up on YT right now.

I have an OKish German DVD of CALIFORNIA. I checked over at the SWDB and it looks like Koch/Germany has given it a website exclusive Blu release similar to what Shout! has been doing. So it's out there, but probably difficult for us to get on this side of the Atlantic. Also a French release from Artus that's not English friendly. And an older Japanese release that is.

eBay is probably your best bet for that German disc.

I really like CALIFORNIA too. One of the best late entry SW. I think the only copies I have are the Franco Cleef version and maybe on one of the multiple budget sets I have. It might be on that budget BD that crammed a ton of films on one disc. I don't have it handy to check. Obviously not an optimal presentation.

One of my favourite SW is California, not sure of it has been released on BD anywhere.

It's over a year old at this point but the Wrong Reel podcast has a great episode about Once Upon A Time In The West with guests Tony Stella and David Lambert .

Looks like Kino kinda-sorta announced that Paramount will be releasing Once Upon A Time In The West on Blu-ray in the future (finally).

An engaging spaghetti western, mastered in 2K, tells the story of seven dangerous men hired to escort a sick woman and her husband across treacherous territory. Each of the mixed bag of seven has lives altered by circumstance and their own unique motives in helping the pair. They meet hostile Indians and then must brave through the expansive, barren desert in a seemingly doomed trek to civilization, overcoming death in more ways than one. This gritty masterpiece of ill-fated hope, the power of love and the burning desire for revenge, is considered as one of Spanish director J. R. Merchant's most impressive westerns.

Eureka are releasing Run, Man, Run, here's the press release:

Sergio Sollima’s ‘Spaghetti Western’ classic starring the legendary Tomas Milian

[For immediate release] Eureka Entertainment to release; RUN, MAN, RUN; Sergio Sollima’s ‘Spaghetti Western’ classic starring the legendary Tomas Milian. Presented on Blu-ray (WORLDWIDE PREMIERE) from a DEFINITIVE 4K RESTORATION as part of The Masters of Cinema Series, FULLY UNCUT for the first time ever in the UK. Available from 23 January 2023 in a LIMITED EDITION 2-Disc set of only 3000 copies, featuring an O-Card Slipcase, Reversible Poster, and Bonus Disc.

Sergio Sollima’s third (and final) western film; Run, Man Run stars Tomas Milian (The Big Gundown, Django Kill… If You Live, Shoot!) as Cuchillo, reprising his role as the crafty knife thrower from Sollima’s earlier film, The Big Gundown.

After aiding in the escape of a fellow desperado, Cuchillo is given the location for a stash of hidden gold intended to fund the Mexican Revolution. Pursued by mercenaries, bandits, corrupt officials, an American gunslinger, and even his fiancé – Cuchillo will have to use all his tricks to stay alive.

This “Zapata Western” concludes Sollima’s triptych of Western’s that examined violence, politics, and revolution – and it is a suitably epic conclusion, filled with action and violence accompanied by a brilliant score by Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Run, Man, Run fully uncut for the first time ever in the UK, in a worldwide premiere on Blu-ray from a definitive 4K restoration.
