The Nine Minutes Edited Out


Aparently, a recent DVD release of this film includes as extras some of the footage originally meant for a large-screen release. Because this production was fortunate enough to join forces with one of the most highly developed film industries in Latin America at that time, the end result was of high enough quality that some consideration could be given its potential restoration and redubbing for a Blu-ray edition. Even with the lost nine minutes edited back into it, the movie is still only about an hour and twenty minutes long. However, a lively and informative commentary track would presumably draw some interest out interest.

I'd be surprised if it ever got a BR release

Actually got one as a double-feather with "Amazons". Limited to 1000 units and out of print, unfortunately.

Any idea of what the excised footage was about? I assumed it concerned Katt Shea's character since she kind of disappears in the third act.

Since that particular film production company of Argentines would eventually crank out about six or seven sword/sandal epics during this storied venture, it seems possible that one or more similar films may have been beneficiaries of the excess footage.

Where can we find this?
