Superb story, superb acting, superb inspiration, superb mental stimulation. If this movies was grainy and snapped, crackled and popped like one of those 1920s talkies, it would still be among the very best in my collection. I've watched this movie many ...

This film adaptation of Peter Shaffer's play does complete justice to the intelligence and power of the original. While staying very close to historical truth, it is at the same time a timeless and haunting meditation on cultural differences, religion, ...

The quality of the DVD I saw was no worse than many films not fully restored that have a video quality about them. Sometimes it was very clear and the colors were very nice. But what about the FILM ITSELF? CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER IS BRILLIANT as the Inca. ...

Others have mentioned the poor picture quality of this DVD - and it certainly seems to have been mastered from an NTSC video. The quality is therefore nothing to get excited about (the colours seeming weak) - but it's OK - and at least the film is in ...

If Imdb is right, THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN should last 118 minutes but the Similar DVD I own runs only 95 minutes. I have to assume that the missing 20 minutes of the copy have been buried somewhere in an anonymous warehouse. Too bad.Too bad because ...

Unless the previous reviewers were too harsh and I too lenient, Simitar may have revised their DVD release of THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN. The version I saw was part of a two-pack featuring it and THE FIFTH DAY OF PEACE in Amaray-type keep cases. ...

This is an astonishingly bad transfer to DVD for a film that I don't believe is in the public domain -- it's very tough to get through. It's a pity, as this is still an intriguing take on religion and imperialism. Shaw's performance as Pizzaro is both ...

Horrible movie throughout. A nothing screenplay with nothing roles. What a waste of the fine talent of young Leonard Whiting...he deserved a much better role in a much better movie, as a follow-up to his superior performance in the role of Romeo in ...

I saw the other reviews of the quality of this video, too late. I put it in my VCR and it is true, the worst video transfer ever. What a shame. You get a tape brand new and it looks on the screen like a 25 years old flea market ex-rental. ...
I classify this title among the two or three greatest movies ever made, but Simitar has given us absolutely the worst quality DVD I have yet experienced from among the 100+ DVDs I have purchased thus far. Two other Simitar DVD titles ("Sports ...
