The NOT ON DVD thread - Page 6

Most of Russ Meyer's filmography apparently.

Traci Lords' "early" films.

I guess I was wrong, but not very affordable.

Amazon UK seems to have most of them mate. This box set covers 18 of his films.

And with every one of my complaints, it comes back to me not owning a region free player. I'm a moron.

E.T. ripoff... Nukie???

Dance, Nukie! Dance!

I think i pulled that on Saturday night?

The Reflecting Skin.

I was underwhelmed by Philip Ridley's Passion of Darkly noon but this sounds interesting and is meant to be pretty good.

DEADLY BLESSING
Oh sure, PAL's got it.

Soon to be fixed!

Freddy's Nightmares.

a.k.a. Trapped, now available!

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00265S9Y6

It's now available as a Warner Archive title.

Yippee! So's FROM HELL IT CAME, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, SHE, and RAZORBACK!

Thanks!

Excellent, excellent, excellent and excellent!

I've been neglecting checking on that WB Archive. This is indeed great news.

When the F is The Phenix City Story coming out?

Has Stuart Rosenberg's WUSA ever been released in any sort of format? Has anybody even seen that film?

I thought this was never going to come out, but Amazon has a release date of Oct 13th for it. Thank God for remakes and opportunism.

I know it's been "officially" supplanted by The Beatles Anthology, but I really wish The Compleat Beatles was available on DVD. I'd rather watch a two-hour history of the group than slog through all five discs of anthology.

Looks like Emile Hirsch popped up on that Werewolf cover.

I saw the Hasselhoff NICK FURY flick at Best Buy recently. It's an exclusive. LULZ

DEMONWARP (not in Region 1 anyway)...

Trailer!

Watch Sasquatch (?) break the neck of the kid brother from JUST ONE OF THE GUYS, and steal... is that a clock radio?

Not a movie, but I've been waiting for MTV's THE MAXX series to be put on DVD. Sadly, it'll likely never happen.

A legit release of Darker Than Amber has to be on the horizon in light of DiCaprio doing a Travis McGee movie.

You're in luck:

My list is short:

EYES OF FIRE

BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (Availaible only on Region 2)

IN GOD WE TRUST -- scathing comedy on religion with Marty Feldman as a monk who falls in love with a street walker (MARY HARTMAN'S Louise Lasser), Andy Kaufman as a holy roller, Richard Pryor as God.

I think I posted that early on in this thread. I still want it. It come out on VHS, so I'm still waiting.

It always bummed me out that the MAXX got the shaft when some other MTV cartoons went on to enjoy a bit more popularity. (like The HEAD, or whatever it was, with the dude with the... big head.)

Are those "official" releases? I already have "unoffical" ones. Much appreciated though.

And to add to the list...

Paul Naschy's
THE WEREWOLF AND THE YETI
DR. JEKYL AND THE WEREWOLF

WHAT. I want this movie.

Up the Creek, 1984 - Almost a sort of sister movie to Animal House. Like if the guys from Delta House went on a rafting trip after they destroyed Faber.

Doc Savage: Man of Bronze, 1975 - With the recent announcement of Shane Black writing a new movie, I'd love to see this one again. I worshiped it when I was a kid.

Pretty sure that's available through the WB Archive.

EDIT: Sure is.

Here’s my “need on proper R1 DVD now goddammit!” list. Granted I’ve seen pretty much all of these either on VHS or cable way back when, but they’re all must-owns regardless.

Secret Rivals 1 and 2 (subtitled and in at least reasonably non-shitty quality)
Shaolin vs Ninja (ditto as above)
Project A 1 and 2 subtitled and uncut (screw you Miramax)
The Seventh Curse (I know those Fortune Star DVDs are region free and okay enough, but this movie really deserves the royal treatment)
The Big Heat (ditto as above)
Broken Oath (ditto again)
Deadly China Doll
The Association
Hapkido

Shaw Brothers:

Masked Avengers

Yeah, I like my trashy OAVs along with my high class stuff when it comes to anime. What of it?

TV:

The Maxx
Brad Dharma: Psychedelic Detective
The Head

I probably have a ton more (especially in the Hong Kong and anime department), but those are all that’s coming to me right now.

Unfortunately it's only the "unofficial" ones.

I have an old VHS laserdisc dub of the Japanese G vs. Biollante but there are no subtitles. I also have a VHS retail of G 1985 (complete with Bambi vs. Godzilla short in the beginning). I've seen parts of the Japanese original/G '1984 and am planning on getting a subtitled DVD copy.

What I really want is a port of the Toho laserdiscs for these films. G vs. Biollante has tons of extras like audio commentary, behind the scenes footage, and an interview with orginal Gojira director Inoshiro Honda as he visits the G v B set. The links I gave you sell one, so I'll probably end up ordering from there. G '84/Returns has a ton of extra stuff too but I haven't found a DVD copy with that stuff on it.

I really don't know what's up with Sony/Toho Region One Godzilla DVD's. They did a great job releasing most of the classic G films on DVD uncut with English subtitles. And I was glad to get most of the Hiesei series that way.

The exception was Destroy All Monsters, published by some obscure company. When I got the DVD I was ready to trash my old taped-from-TV VHS copy. Glad I didn't because the dubbing on the DVD was totally different (and inferior)! Not only that, there were no chapter stops.

But the good news, DARKMITE8, is that this month Toho's releasing the G films on Bluray!:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/search3.htm...20&order=score

They're region free and have some great extras but no English subtitles. But neither did the Jap releases of the early DVD'. They added that feature when they published them over here, so I wouldn't worry.

How about your copies of G '84 and Biollante? How's the qaulity? Any extras?

Jaquio, Are you a fan of...Fist Of The North Star? Discotek is releasing all 150 episodes...in 2010. It is the original series 1984-87. There is even going to be a new Dynasty Warriors game on the ps3/360 featuring Kenshiro and the rest of the FOTNS characters. It will carry an M rating, and the trailer for this game is on youtube.

Yes I am a huge Fist fan, and yes I'm already well aware of the upcoming Discotek release (and the video game too), which is why I didn't include it in the list. Same reason why I didn't put Five Element Ninjas (aka Chinese Super Ninjas) on the Shaw Bros. list, since there's a tentative R1 release date for it (that's already been pushed back once, which I hope doesn't bode too ill for it).

Also I forgot to put Abel Ferrara's The Addiction on there, but I'm not entirely sure about that one: I saw it only once back when it first came out, and my memory of it is vague at best. I remember liking it a lot then, but I dunno how well it'll hold up.

Just came across the poster for this thanks to Ogre's post in the favourite movie websites thread. John Frankenheimer directing Scott Glenn and Toshiro Mifune in a samurai flick, who wouldn't want to see that.

I'll also add Michael Apted's The Squeeze. Brits will be interested to know that it stars the one and only Freddie Starr.

I really want Cecil DeMille's North West Mounted Police . I can't even find a VHS.

Also, WUSA & The Prize are topping the wish list.

<Warner Archive recently added the weird curios Slither(1972) & Under the Rainbow-the former for which I'm esp. gratefull; stocking stuffers!>

Anyone watched a Warner Archive DVD? What's the quality of them? I've been tempted to order a few but the prices are steep and judging from the look of their packaging there appears to be a shoddy cheapness about them.

Yeah, I have. (All The Marbles, Westbound, Freebie & The Bean)

No complaints. Correct aspect ratio, and decent sound and pic. If you check the site now, they're having some sales.

I'd love for Russ Meyer's little seen other 20th Century Fox picture The Seven Minutes to have a DVD release. With the lavish job Fox did with Beyond the Valley of the Dolls I'm surprised they haven't already.

L'eau Froide

Just saw on TVShowsOnDVD.com that these two are coming out soon via a "create on demand" DVD release plan.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=13038

Philip Ridley's The Reflecting Skin and The Passion of Darkly Noon
Marguerite Duras' Le Camion
Robert Wise's Mademoiselle Fifi
The other five seasons of St. Elsewhere
Alex Cox's Edge City
Abel Ferrara's Mary and Go Go Tales

This is the greatest news I've heard in a long, long time.

Peter Weir's Fearless.

Seconded, and before someone jumps in and says that it IS available on DVD, it's a full-screen, no extras piece of shit.

Yeah, I still watch my VHS copy, not worth upgrading at the moment.

According to Wiki, Tales of the Gold Monkey is available in the UK and Australia now, and will be for sale in the US early 2010.

http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Gold-Mon...5500059&sr=1-2

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. I need, I neeeeed!

Max is c-c-c-coming to DVD August 8th courtesy of Shout! Factory. I loved this show as a kid, so it'll be interesting to see how one of the definitive products of the 80s holds up.

Street Hawk...Races on DVD with guns blazing...July 13th. Of course the music is a...Tangerine Dream! Awesome series!

Just in time for... somebody's birthday!

Seconded on Fearless, The Challenge and the HK flicks Miramax Weinstein have fucked over.

Also I Come In Peace aka Dark Angel (Lundgren essential film), Ninja III The Domination (Exorcist meets Revenge of the Ninja!).
