HD Alert!

Virna Lisi and Steve Reeves in DUEL OF THE TITANS (aka Romulus and Remus; 1961)

I recently acquired a boatload of PEPLUM movies in HD with English audio added to them from a nice fellow. There are so many of them that it'll take some time to process all of them. One of the titles I got, and there are some amazing titles here, is DUEL OF THE TITANS. Now, people will say, 'Isn't there a German Blu-ray released a couple of years ago?' Yes, there was. And it's nice enough. In my review I stated that the Blu-ray was good but not a wow! There were issues here and there but at the time I took it since the previous copies, mainly from the DVD, wasn't that great. Well, now there's an even better version streaming at FlixOlé in Spain. The colours are so much richer. The flesh tones are on point, compared to the BD. The German Blu-Ray (above) has this blueish tint, when compared to the Spanish streaming version (below), makes it look drab and washed out. 

In the GIF animation below, one can clearly see that the German Blu-ray was extensively cropped, or zoomed in. Steve Reeves' head is in full view in the Spanish print.The top and sides have more information. Is it perfect? There's some issues with dark scenes but it's not as bad as the German BD. This is a clearly superior print.

As I've stated, it will take a lot of time to review and process all the new HD prints that I got, and add them to the list. Much more to come in the future.
