Obviously I have a boot of this (from Shocking Videos) but as we all know; nothing beats an original!! B)

I'm not aware of any other English dubbed releases of SNAKE QUEEN. Do any of you know of any??


Jack

I dont know of another english release, but Im pretty sure pete mentioned somewhere that they were going to release this but the negatives were damaged beyond repair, so, hang on to that greek release, as it is the best english language print currently in existence.

It may have had an english language swedish release? Could have sworn I seen it on that label that uses black and white cover art with the yellow border....

Thanks for that. I didn't think there was another release either, but look what I found accedentally today: the intro to the film on YouTube and it's taken from a fully letterboxed, English dubbed print without any subtitles!!

Check it here:

Where did this come from???


Edit: Alright, my mistake. It's a trailer. But it would have been very nice to have a fully lbx print like that!!

Yeah, it's so sad. I went back to that interview and found it, and you're right; it's SNAKE QUEEN that got destroyed!!

So if you go back 15 or 20 years, to films that were obscure anyway, the chances of finding decent materials are almost impossible. I mean, we did. There was a Rapi film we couldn’t do, Snake Queen. We got the negative and it was glued together. We just couldn’t do it. They had laid it all together. I mean, with Mystics they had leader reels and titles, and literally someone in Hong Kong says, “Oh, we’ll preserve that by shoving another bit of negative over the top.” You peel that out and it just falls apart. You can see it in front of you. It’s been in a shed - not a temperature-controlled environment.

Thanks! :)

That Devil times five was on my wantlist a long long time cause Terpstra ( H12) had it back then. Was about to order the DVD but then ran into this tape fortunately.
