Artus Films is churning some interesting titles, including THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS (1958) starring Sylva Koscina and Gianna Maria Canale, REVENGE OF THE CRUSADER (1964) starring Alberto Lupo and Stephen Forsyth. Those were announced months ago but now they added two new titles to their roster: TIGER OF THE SEVEN SEAS (1962) starring Gianna Maria Canale, and THE LION OF ST MARK (1962) starring Gordon Scott and Gianna. Both movies directed by Luigi Capuano. No information yet on the audio options (if English will be included).
Update: Amazon.fr has both movies listed and audio options are limited to Italian and French only, no English.
I wonder why so many European distributors are suddenly releasing titles on DVD and not on BD. I’m happy for these releases but HD is the way of the future.
As I already noted here at BTG, Artus Films is also scheduled to release both Steve Reeves’ HERCULES movies on Blu-ray.
moonflix.com has posted 4K versions of Steve Reeves’ Hercules and Hercules Unchained on youtube. Hercules looks pretty good, Hercules Unchained not so much.

Interesting.
HERCULES is the International English version, available on the French DVD. It’s not the Avco Embassy English dub.
HERCULES UNCHAINED is from the German DVD I got. Many scenes are cut, including Ulysses telling Hercules he’s fighting Antaeus, which are identical to this German DVD.
