      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Think it's time to say "Adios" to "Sabata"? Not a chance! The man in black is back (although, this time it's Yul Brynner in them boots), and he's been hired to steal a wagon full of gold. When Sabata discovers that he's been duped and is now the proud owner of bags full of sand, he promises revenge on those who double-crossed him. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    As with the first DVD in this Sabata trilogy, the anamorphically enhanced DVD looks dated. The picture can be quite soft, although details are adequate. The color scheme is pretty dull, with plenty of browns and brownish fleshtones. Still whites are bright and blacks are slightly milky, but generally deep. Sometimes the picture can look quite good. The source element is revealing of some flecks of dirt and minor artifacts. Pixelization is noticed, but edge enhancement is not a problem with this title. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Again, the Dolby

    Reason #88 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I just started my subscription to your magazine, but I have already seen great potential with some of the features of the Web Site. I sell high-end home theatre equipment and being able to pull up past and current reviews helps me relate to my customer’s needs a lot better. I like to be as knowledgeable as possible with today's technologies, and Widescreen Review really has the potential to help me do that. I am looking forward to getting my first issue soon.
