NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.

ADDITION: Scorpion Releasing Blu-ray (September 2020): Scorpion Releasing have transferred a Paul Naschy 'Professor Daninsky' werewolf flic; Fury of the Wolfman to Blu-ray. It features two cuts of the film; the 'theatrical' and the 'export' (or 'extended') versions. Despite egregious speckles and a few, mostly frame-specific, marks (see below) the 1080P image quality is decent with bright colors and reasonable detail. The 'insert' sequences for the Export version are in very bad condition - possibly bumps from SD (see two samples below.) It's on a dual-layered disc and both cuts have a high bitrate. There is depth and decent contrast - the only drawback being the frequent, usually small, marks that permeate many scenes. Frankly though, you can't blame the efficient transfer - it needs a restoration which this film is not going to get.

On their Blu-ray, Scorpion Releasing offer DTS-HD Master dual-mono tracks (24-bit) in the original Spanish language or the option of an English DUB - for both cuts. A screen before the HD presentations states:

"The audio on this feature was sourced from the best materials available to us at the time. These source materials already had sync and cadence issues that we did our best to correct. You may notice slight shifts in the sync of the audio throughout the film."

There are, acceptable imperfections - again, not the fault of the audio transfer. The weak English DUB can be part of the kitsch appeal. According to Troy Howarth in the second commentary - the theatrical version has a score by Ángel Arteaga (Trauma, Naschy's The Devil Incarnate and Frankenstein's Bloody Terror) - kind of interesting arrangements with tinny piano chords. But the export version had a score by Ana Satrova (the wife of director.) The latter determined to be not particularly effective seeming slapdash. Some may notice Bach's Toccata in D minor used in the film. Both versions on Scorpion Releasing's Region 'A' Blu-ray offer optional English subtitles.

The Scorpion Releasing Blu-ray offer commentaries by Mikek Lipinski and, a second by Troy Howarth (author of Human Beasts: The Films of Paul Naschy.) I only briefly sampled Mikek Lipinski's talk. Howarth recognizes the Francisco Goya art in opening - making a link to Paul Naschy, plus the actor, writer, director's complaints of extensive and arbitrary changes / edits to Fury of the Wolfman, the alt-title The Wolfman Never Sleeps, censorship in Spain at the time of production (Franco), other Daninsky films in the series, pointing out the export inserts and much more. There is an extensive stills gallery, two trailers and the package has liner notes by Lipinski seen through the transparent case.

Fury of the Wolfman is a mess with unrelated and unnecessary sequences hap-hazard-ly throw in. It's a shame because it has most of the convention elements that werewolf film fans love. We don't often expect a lot from the Naschy 'Professor Daninsky' series (some being quite effective) but this is inordinately scattered. Saying that, I still enjoyed it as I do with the more Naschy films I indulge in. You become immune, or rather accepting, of the deficiencies. The two commentaries are a great addition on this Scorpion Releasing Blu-ray. Howarth always makes me enjoy a film more. Ditto for Perla Cristal and Veronica Lujan. This is recommended to fans of his commentaries, 70's Spanish horror, Naschy and/or werewolf flics. There is more than enough here to enjoy if you in a forgiving mood.
