Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
沾了比利小子的传奇光芒，但影片的观赏性并不强，尚且不如《大地惊雷》
剧情有点相似 到走出了另一种方式 或许是亲情的温服让人为之改变 也为之有所牵挂
看个热闹，开始的铺垫太长了，最后也是不考虑逻辑了
完成度很高 每个人都有强烈的人物风格 老枪手要不顾一切救那个年轻人 是对自己小时候被救的一种报恩? 这个设定与他整体出世的态度存在矛盾
前面漫长的铺垫，甚至都感觉不到紧张，最后二十分钟突然达到高峰，手起人倒干净利落，结局令人唏嘘，还是没明讲老亨利的过往，更令人好奇背后的故事。
好久没看这种简单粗暴的西部片了。这片最大的问题就是看了开头，就猜到结局。不过猜到剧情也没关系，这类电影的亮点在于老头和小崽子如何在人数完全没有优势的情况下反杀。这部电影里，小崽子从头到尾都是个没有任何能力的莽汉，所以几乎全靠老亨利一人扭转乾坤。老亨利不亏是金盆洗手、隐姓埋名的高手，一个人也把对方全搞定了。大战过后，小崽子终于成长了，也了解到了自己的爹有多厉害。可惜，大战的过程不太精彩。
很好的故事设计，既延续了传奇（或重新演绎了传奇），又隐喻了现实，一举两得。决战场面的设计很精彩，结尾的反转也恰到好处。近年来难得好看的西部片。
非常西部的西部片，除了主角他娃有点出戏以外
他不相信救赎
他相信了曾经那个少年
质感非常好的西部片，剧情略老套，但是服装道具台词与镜头都非常精致，很喜欢这种慢热片子
一般传闻他21岁时在新墨西哥Summer Fort被Garret警探射杀，这个片中Curry也讲到了。
西部风格，悠远辽阔。大爷虽离江湖已远，但大爷还是那个大爷。
我要是做混蛋，就做纯粹的那种。因为，首先，我是个纯粹的人。
一个世外高人，一直深藏不露！结果一群坏家伙来送死，那么就大开杀戒！好熟悉的套路，不过还是可以的。😃
孩子真可怜，刚发现一个新爸爸，很快又失去了。
故事简单老套了一点，不拖沓，浓郁的西部风情是我喜欢的。摄影不错但也可能是风景本身太美的原因。
他死前给儿子上了一课
窝囊老农是个狠角色，剧情略显拖沓，几个罪犯还是不够狠啊。
孩子，你埋你舅舅了吗？
