Great looking nostalgia...
It's these wonderful Yugoslav (of course that country is all history now) locations and Martin Böttcher's musical score that make these Karl May films so iconic and set them apart from every other western, Hollywood or spaghetti! (director Harald Reinl even returned to Plitvice National Park for another shoot ("Die blutigen Geier von Alaska", 1973; film: 3/10) failing to recreate the original magic though)Film: 7/10Picture quality: 8,5/10Aspect ratio: 2,35:1 (orig.)Audio: D; GBST: D; GB o/-RC: B (A;C?)Bonus: Flip-covers; Making-ofs; Interviews (e.g. Harald Reinl, archive); unseen footage; text infos etc.Studio: Tobis/UniversumAll 3 Blu-rays look fairly good with very few exceptions (acc. to bonus-info for these shots no original film negatives were available; ca. 3-4 per movie). Colours (red, blue, yellow) are too vibrant at times, but maybe that's true to the original releases shown in cinemas?PS: If you're not happy with your home theatre's performance, there might be another reason: Unfortunately many manufacturers' tv-presets are faulty (...what a waste of machinery!).

Audio Error in the movie
I am now watching the movie which was originally in German. I put the audio in English. However even though I have selected this option, some scenes are in English and some are in German. It is unbelievable, never saw anything like this. The Germans who made this movie did not manage to get this right. One sentence is in German and the next in English. Movie is like unwatchable!

Absolutely beautiful
These films are absolutely fantastic. In this Netherland version some dialogues remained in german, specially those of Sam Hawkens. I have several versions in several languages and I just can not stop watching it again and again.
