@auritone Oh yes. I love the Joel Hodgson era Mystery Science Theater. The original versions of Sadko and IIya Muromets have been released on DVD by Image, though have since gone out of print. I would like to see the original version of Sampo released. Roger Corman and AIP also hacked up a bunch of Russian scifi films released in the late fifties/sixties. Though none of these were featured on Mst3k.
@auritone If it's any consolation, you're far more informed about these films than the Best Brains, who apparently thought they were all Finnish... which led to some confusion in "Sword and the Dragon" as to why a bunch of Finnish knights were fighting the Mongols.

Ptushko's films shouldn't be judged by these butchered American edits with awful dubbing.

@AtorTheFlyingEagle That's true! But the dubbing does makes them damn funny. :)

I don't think Ptushko was behind "Jack Frost." I'm pretty sure that was another Russian director.

@tritiumH3 You're right... All those Alexandrs apparently confused me. It was Alexandr Rou.
Damn! And just to emphazise the Alexandr confusion it's also the first name of the guy playing Jack Frost.
More corrections coming up. :)

Just a note; The Sword and the Dragon episode was actually Iliya Moromets.
But you more or less nailed it on the head.
I just love these movies, the budget for them was no doubt huge and it certainly does look good for the time.

@IliyaMoroumetz You're right. Got the movies mixed up a bit apparently. :)
Thank you for the correction. I will rectify it. :)
