Maciste alla corte del Gran Khan

I bought the new Blu-Ray version thinking that it would be perfect. There is an Italian version in English and a so-called American International USA/Canada version. Both show the "ring the gong of freedom" scene but it was so DARK, you could barely see Gordon Scott. Just black screen in parts. Whereas the Oldies.com and others I have had, show that scene in clear color. Strange how they messed that up? When Samson is being chased by the guards, he runs up to the city stone wall and "appears" inside the palace in the dubbed Italian copy, but in their API copy, they show the HIDDEN DOOR which they clumsily edit in. (narrower screen and much different color. Also missing from the Italian copy is a Horseman riding across a river, which incidentally is taken from Goliath Against the Barbarians. It is in their AIP copy though. The commentator, doesn't even mention either of these two omissions. Their AIP copy has "small screens" "odd color" and seems to be strung together from many different versions, even though they say "it is the theatrical AIP version shown in theaters". It definitely is NOT. The only thing that is good about this release is the English dubbing on the Italian copy. Larry Anderson.
