BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN

In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
This is pretty bad! As others at IMDb have
pointed out, this was originally a Soviet
film that was hacked up and changed to be
an American propaganda film! It still has
the us vs them to it, but instead of Russia
and the U.S. it's the Northern Hemisphere
vs. the Southern! They're in a race to reach
Mars! The SFX is ok for the time, but the
dubbing is horrible! Another one of those
films that were taken from a tape! Even
though this is a Roger Corman vehicle,
it's way below his norm! But at least
this is one of those films that's so
bad that it has unintentional humor! C-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I have just posted a synopsis for this film
and noted the major differences between the
original Soviet production and the American
release.
Although reported to be over 2 hours long
my fully subtitled version is only 67 minutes.
I suspect that the a lot of the Soviet
propaganda supposed to be in the film
was removed before the subtitled version
came out.
If anyone wants more details of the differences
between the two films don't hesitate to contact
me.
Also if anyone has a longer subtitled version
of the original film I would also love to know
how to source it - Glen_Chapman
