The Colossus of Rhodes
I don't have any pieces of information about new Blu-ray but it seems that previous German and Italian release are same in terms of AV quality. Picture is good but final scenes have some scratches, audio is out-of-sync in the middle of the movie for a minute and musical score is quite ruined.

Other titles
I recently saw For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on Rai Movie channel. They have Leone Film Group and restoration info intro but they were in standard definition.

I've been meaning to pick up the Colossus of Rhodes purely to help complete a set on my favourite director's shelves, but trouble is, it's not an especially good film imho. Honest question, are people buying the film because they really like it or merely because it was Leone's first credited directorial work? IMO, there's no trace of the Sergio Leone style that we love and is therefore an extremely indifferent film, thoughts?

While part of the reason I want it is to add to my Sergio Leone collection, I actually quite enjoy it. Even without Sergio Leone's name attached, I would like to have it in my collection.
Then again, I'm a sucker for Peplum films, the crazier (more based on mythology, and less grounded on reality) the better.

I would love to have decent versions on Blu-Ray of both The Colossus of Rhodes, and Mario Bava's Hercules In the Haunted World.
