Three Fantastic Supermen (1967) - movie clip & poster gallery

Wouldn't mind seeing a full English dub restoration of the film. I know it was released in PAL in Greece in English with Greek subs - along with at least 3 of the other films. The fellow who used to run "Onar Films" (Who sadly died of Cancer several years ago) would dig up loads of these English dubbed/Greek Sub pre-recorded VHS tapes and sell them on eBay - Heroes, Euro-Spy, Westerns (Several of the harder Zorro knock-offs), Sword & Sandal, Adventure, etc. So a lot of those films running around English dubbed with Greek Subs are thanks to him!

I have a copy of the Greek VHS release, but the picture has some noticeable interlacing issues, and the first line of dialogue is missing. Also, while almost complete, the film print that the Greek video was mastered from had several tears which were spliced out (so it's missing snippets of footage here and there). The nearest to a complete print I have is one in English with Spanish subtitles, which runs 98 minutes. But it's a multi-generational copy, so picture quality is muddy. The Italian DVD release looks great, but is missing some footage (runs only 90 minutes). The German cut is not only missing footage, but is re-sequenced in places (the ending scene is actually brought to the very beginning of the movie!). Also, the DVD releases screw up the aspect ratio, chopping off bits at the top and bottom of the picture. The German print isn't too bad on this, but the Italian loses quite a bit. I'm working on an English restoration using various VHS elements, but it's slow going. May tackle a DVD restoration after that, but it will never be a true reconstruction due to the incomplete nature of the available DVD elements.

I just finished a full-length 94-minute fan reconstruction of the original North American cut of this film (the longest version released). Was able to use the German and Italian DVD releases as the primary sources of footage, so the end result is mostly high quality. Unfortunately, I did have to use about 4 minutes of VHS footage to fill in the material missing from the German and Italian cuts. The film is still under copyright, so I can't post it to KZbin. But I hope my reconstruction will make its way into circulation eventually.
