The NOT ON DVD thread

[DARKMITE8]

Most of Russ Meyer's filmography apparently.

[Barkatthemoon]

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.

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.

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?

[Tom Logan]

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.

[Richard Dickson]

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.

[Bobby Bear]

Looks like Emile Hirsch popped up on that Werewolf cover.

[DARKMITE8]

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

[DARKMITE8]

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?

[TonyRockyHorror]

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.

[Phil]

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

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 (Louise Lasse), 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

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.

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)

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

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.
