Content:
Das Schicksal einer US-Kavallerie-Einheit, die während des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs unter dem Befehl eines strafversetzten Majors einen Feldzug gegen brandschatzende Indianer führt. Peckinpahs ungewöhnlicher Western, der die gängige Heldenglorifizierung unterläuft, charakterlich komplexe Verlierertypen in den Vordergrund stellt und deren fragwürdigen Gewaltfetischismus ungeschönt darstellt, wurde durch nachträgliche Eingriffe des Produzenten verstümmelt, entschärft und zu konventioneller Genreunterhaltung umgebogen [siehe "Theatrical cut"].

Disc One Extended Version (1080p; 2:15:47) Audio Commentary with Nick Redman, Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons and David Weddle. This is a fantastically interesting commentary featuring several Peckinpah scholars and moderated by Redman. It's fascinating to hear these guys debate various scenes in the film, and the disparity of opinion is quite instructive that when regarding a film with as convoluted a history as Major Dundee, it's best not to jump to too many concrete conclusions. One of the interesting albeit tangential things about this commentary, which was done before the final extended version was ready for release, is that you can hear the Amfitheatrof score rather than the Caliendo score playing in the background. Isolated Score by Christopher Caliendo is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Caliendo was hired to rescore the extended version, since so many people have such a problem with the original score (see below) and features a less obtrusive set of cues. If it's not overly memorable, it at least sounds excellent in this lossless environment. 2005 Re-Release Trailer (1080p; 2:25) Disc Two Original Theatrical Cut (1080p; 2:02:16) Isolated Score by Daniele Amfitheatrof is presented via a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mix. Amfitheatrof's score has been unfairly maligned (in my opinion), often blamed for "ruining" Peckinpah's film. While it's true that several cues are anachronistic, almost like something out of a science fiction film (including the totally bizarre "Apache" effect, which sounds like it's introducing a Star Trek alien), and while it's obvious that the inclusion of Mitch Miller's Sing Along Gang on the opening theme was a blatant attempt to recreate the commercial success of "The Colonel Bogey March" from The Bridge on the River Kwai, there's actually a lot to like in this score, especially when visited as a "standalone" element.
