(1965, aka OPERATION HURRICAN: FRIDAY NOON, Upgraded 12/9/22) George Nader, Heinz Weiss, Sylvia Pascal, Helga Schlack, Helmut Fornbacher, Philippe Guégan. This is the first Jerry Cotton movie and it's a pretty good one.  Jerry’s after a gang of crooks who pose as a musical band as a front for their nefarious schemes.  They pull off numerous heist and eventually plan to blow up a school full...

(1961, Anamorphic Widescreen) Gordon Mitchell, Bella Cortez, Roldano Lupi, Marietto.  A beautiful upgrade of this great peplum sci-fi film.  A scientific supercity is the setting for weird experiments, torture, and intrigue. Mitchell is a warrior who enters the legendary city of Atlantis...

 (1957, Anamorphic Widescreen) Francisco Rabal, Sylva Koscina, Gianna Maria Canale, Rik Battaglia.  It’s heroic European Christians pitted against a Muslim villain and his Islamic army. Look for some well-staged action sequences, including a big siege at the end of the film.  Great to see two beauties, Sylva Koscina and Gianna Maria Canale, pitted against each other as love rivals.  Battaglia, of course, is in the center of all the action—both kinds! Color, 35mm.

Kirk Morris, Margaret Lee, Daniele Vargas, Tullio Altamura.  An evil pirate menaces the sea lanes, attacking and looting ships.  Crews are slain and women are sold off as slaves.  Samson comes to the rescue...

(1971) Kartal Tibet, Eva Bender, Seher Seniz, Bilal Inci, Fatma Belgen, Atif Kakptan.  Although Tarkan Vs. the Vikings is filled with the cheapest costumes imaginable, cardboard sets, inept special effects, and cheesy monsters, it’s the best Turkish movie we’ve ever seen from the ‘60s or ‘70s.  It really does have that kind of “big epic-spectacle film” feel to it...

(1961) Jack Palance, Anita Ekberg, Antonella Lualdi, Franco Silva, Roldano Lupi.  This is probably the best best video edition of this sword and sandal classic released to date, now in anamorphic widescreen from a beautiful color 35mm print.  During the Mongol invasion of Poland, a conflict between Mongol Emperor Genghis Khan and his oldest son Ogotai ensues...

(1962, Anamorphic Widescreen) Rod "Flash" Ilush, Bella Cortez, Liliana Zagra, Roger Browne, Gordon Mitchell.  Another beautiful upgrade of one of our most popular S&S titles.  There are lots of horror and fantasy elements here—Ancient gods, lizard-like monsters, and strange underground creatures...

 (1927) Tom Mix, Carmelita Geraghty, William Davidson, Lee Shumway.  Tom plays a tough cowboy trying to figure out who’s responsible for a daring series of stagecoach robberies.  The stagecoach race sequence is definitely the film’s major highlight...

(1959, Anamorphic Widescreen) Charles Veltmann Jr., Jodean Lawrence, Stanton Pritchard, Henry Darrow, Script by Edward D. Wood, Narrated by Kenne Duncan.  Only Ed Wood could have scripted something like this—a low budget western with topless Indian maidens prancing about...
