The Good, The Bad and the Ugly original audio claim fact-checked
“Both the Italian and English audio of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly can be considered the original audio as it was filmed in both languages”
Summary
The film was shot without synchronized sound and later dubbed into several languages, including Italian and English.

Thus, both cannot be considered original audio.
