What makes it different from others?

Just perfect...

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The picture shown belongs on the box of an edition of the Dutch (and only) DVD-version (2003). The Title of the this DVD-version is just "Winnetou" and as first and only DVD-version in existence it deserves mentioning as alternate title. The series consists out of 6 DVD's. Remarkable is that this is not the same cut as the one shown on German television.The DVD-series has non-removable Dutch subtitling, is English spoken (no options there either) and has no extras. Picture quality is not outstanding, but more than good enough for small screen viewing. Quite remarkable, taking into account the arson, rape and violence as integral -if not central- part of the story, though not too directly shown, the genre is given as "Kids". Sound quality can be called good, and the music is worth listening too. Certainly worthy of being looked for in the bargain box, even if the Dutch subtitles are just weird characters to the looker.Main theme of the series are the crimes committed by Euro-Americans on the native population.
