Khan Asparuh (
Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1]
In 1984, the film was internationally released as 681 AD: The Glory of Khan in a 92-minute English-language edited version, down from the original 5½ hours. This version earned negative reviews for not presenting the entire plot well and focusing on certain aspects, thus changing the whole feel of the production.
