    OVERALL: R2

    German -release has the (anamorphic) OAR of 2:35:1. Basically avoid all the other budget-releases (there are more: "Diamond", "GoodTimes", and "Extreme Digital Media/Knob Ryder" at least).

    Do note, that German-release is missing one shot that seems to be included in the budget-releases.

    Note, that the R1 "The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Vol. 7" -release includes this film (Episode 408), but like all the other movies in this series, there are people making fun of the movie at the same time as it goes on. 4:3, English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo, no subtitles.

    This film is also known as:
    -Hercules and the Queen of Sheba
    -Hércules y la reina de Lidia
    -Heracles y la reina de Lidea
    -Hercule et la reine de Lydie

    • R2 Germany- Concorde Home Entertainment - 89:43 min - PAL. One shot of the bodies in flames (2-3 seconds) is missing from the end (it should be in timecode 88:36 min), right after the battle and before the "noble man" is talking. Reason for this is unknown. (Thank you to the Rewind user Jess Franco Jr for this info).
