      Do they just do pressed discs now?

            Thanks.

            It wouldn't stop me buying it, but would impact how much I pay. Only just getting VCI's El Esqueleto De La Senora Morales because it's a BD-R and I found it for under £7, certainly wouldn't pay full price for a burnt disc.

              Very cool! I watched it recently via a dvd-r that I taped off German TV (they screened the original Italian version, just with German dub).

              "Hercules and the Captive Women" is the updated US version released for audiences in 1963.
              Does this mean the bluray uses the edited and cut US print? I remember checking the running times and the original Italian version runs something like five minutes longer. I checked the US vhs (which is uploaded to Archive.org) and it's missing big chunks of the intro. Different music too.
