EKO (UK); Fullscreen; English language

There are no pirates in this very boring and dated indian adventure. Great cover though. A pretty misterious title, I think this is the second part of the film I Misteria della Giungla Nera (1954).

Pirate Video (UK); Letterboxed; English language

Hercules visits South America (!) in this absurd bottom-of-the-barrel peplum. One to avoid.

Spain, 1981

Starring Terence Stamp, Peter Cushing, Blanca Estrada, Frank Braña, Paul Naschy & Gérard Tichy

CBS Fox (UK); Fullscreen; English language

I like J. P Simón's many Jules Verne-inspired movies, but this is the weakest of the bunch. Paul Naschy's character dies a humiliating death only five minutes into the film.
