More details:

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Collector's Edition
Two-disc set comes with new footage with an English dub.

MGM Home Entertainment will re-issue Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti western The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in a two-disc collector's edition on May 18 for $29.98.

The film features 18 minutes of new footage featuring an English language soundtrack, which had previously only been available in Italian audio. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach lend their voices to the new footage, and Simon Prescott dubbed the voice for the late Lee Van Cleef.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is considered the ultimate spaghetti westerns. It's about three men searching for $200,000 in gold during the final days of the Civil War. The three men are the Good (Eastwood), the Bad (Van Cleef) and the Ugly (Wallach). Good and Ugly are two criminal partners who have a falling out, and in the process of trying to kill each other learn where the gold is buried. At the same time, Bad is also looking for the gold. Eventually, their paths meet at a P.O.W. camp.

Disc one will feature the movie with three deleted scenes, totaling 18 minutes with new audio recordings in Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. A commentary track will be done by film historian Richard Schickel.

Disc two is loaded with extras. There will be a number of documentaries, including Leone's West, a retrospective on the film featuring interviews, including with Eastwood. There's also The Leone Style documenting Leone and his impact on the western genre; The Man Who Lost The Civil War documentary; and Il Maestro: Ennio Morricone and 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' looks at Leone's long-time composer.

There is also a never-before-seen extended scene, trailers and a poster gallery, plus four Easter Eggs. While not specified in the release, it looks from the artwork like there will be a booklet with the DVD as well.
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

SoNowThen

Are the other films in the Dollars trilogy gonna get re-released, or is it safe to buy the current cheapo versions?
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Hey in terms of Badlands, if you get any version at all get the Region 2 one...it costs about the same as the region 1 but it has a Terrance Malick documentary that you cant get on the R1.
