You've never seen Blake's 7????

The science fiction series *Blake's 7* has never been broadcast on television in Germany. Despite its popularity in Great Britain and other countries, it never received a German dub or TV premiere.

So, there ya go.

Bummer....
Well we across the pond didn't get to see Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion(1966) before the internet.....

Doctor, I recall from my youth that when Gance's NAPOLEON was discussed, it was referred to as being much longer than 560 minutes - like somewhere in the 17-25 hour range. Was there once a version that was that long, but the majority of it has been lost? Or (as you suggest in your review) did Gance intend that length but he just never managed to produce the balance?

As I understand it, he never made it past the first installment, but it was the intention to make six parts of 4-5 hours each.

"Agent 008: Operation Exterminate" (1965)
An entertainingly silly Italian-made James Bond knock-off, with a British spy (Alberto Lupo) sent to Cairo to team up with a lovely American agent (Ingrid Schoeller) and keep some "anti-radar technology" out of enemy hands. So basically it's 90 minutes of poorly dubbed gibberish full of car chases, fistfights, and exotic Egyptian scenery. Not the worst "Eurospy" film I've seen, but there are better ones out there. Directed by Umberto Lenzi, later of "Cannibal Ferox" and "Nightmare City" fame.

"Rock & Rule" (1983)
In a post-apocalyptic world, an aging rock star kidnaps a young singer whose voice will break down the barriers to another dimension and grant him ultimate power ... or something like that.
This dreary "adult" animated musical sci-fi adventure ala "Heavy Metal," makes almost zero sense -- the plot is a confused muddle and the animation is choppy. There's some cool music by Cheap Trick, Lou Reed, and Debbie Harry, but none of it is enough to save this mess.
AVOID.

Honestly, I thought the fact that it made almost no sense actually worked in it's favor.
