According to OFDB Probability Zero is uncut. And there are Italian and English Audio Option for Probability Zero on the DVD. Sorry I oversaw that. All the other Movies have only German and the others are cut. Desert Battle has the german Cinema Version (about 81 minutes). Partizani must be heavily cut.
I have recently gotten into this sub-genre and I love it. I love that a lot of movies borrow from such great movies as Where Eagles Dare and Dirty Dozen. I love Five For Hell a lot and I cannot wait to check out others. I plan on getting the two Castellari movies (Eagles over London and Inglorious Bastards) soon. And thanks for posting on the St. Clair release of Commandos as I plan on getting that one as well.
It looks like a very difficult genre to acquire dvds in for the most part and without Tarantinoâs movie there probably would not be the two I just mentioned out as well.
my favourite was:
five for hell
Commandos - Armando Crispino, 1968
Quite good war actioner. One of only 8 films directed by the John the Bastard director, and made immediately after that one. 6/10
But the German version is heavily cut with about 26 min missing.

I donât know what they cut exactly, I have a version thatâs supposed to be uncut
Quite a good Italian war movie yes, good cast too.
Probably mostly talk as there were tons of battle scenes.
Shame the additional scenes do not have english subtitles.
I watched it some time ago, but I think the action is concentrated in the last quarter.
Itâs quite talky, yes, but it doesnât hurt the film.
The German version wasnât talky.
I have these in my collection.

From Code Red:
Is Sullivanâs Marauders Commandos or is it another movie?
Same. But itâs the US theatrical cut.
I have The Wings Of War aka Hour X: Suicide Patrol with Gordon Mitchell, and Heroes without Glory with Jeff Cameron
Great to see more MC out on DVD! Ah, but can anybody tell me whatâs the best version of Attentato ai Tre Grandi aka Desert Commandos?

Oh, that cool! Nice collection!
Iâm not a great macaroni combat fun and I have only seen Inglorious Bastards (due to the Tarantino movie). Itâs not a good film, but I watched it with friends and we had great laughs!!! The best scene is with the women in the river⌠:o
The best scene is with the women in the river...
I concur.
I havenât seen many of these films, but the ones I have are highly memorable. And I hate to give a boring answer, but INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is my favorite of the lot. I really love that film! Just plain goofy fun.
Iâd love to watch another macaroni in the next weeks and Iâm thinking about commandos.
How is it or do you have any suggestions?
I recommend Paolo Cavaraâs La cattura featuring David McCallum and Nicoletta Macchiavelli. Nice snowy setting.
Others: Rose rosse per il fĂźhrer by Fernando Di Leo and Uccidete Rommel by Alfonso Brescia.
