finally scored the 80 blocks from tiffany's

ironically, despite it being a ny countercultural landmark of sorts, the only place in the city where i could get it was a barnes and noble. kims and the rest of the locals dropped the ball

are there any extras with this? (apologies if this is somehow a stupid question)

i haven't had a chance to open yet but allegedly there is an interview with creators and some kind of booklet that reprints the og article it was based on plus other miscellaneous whatevers. sounds nice, although i'm honestly more psyched to finally see it in something other than zgrade vid quality, so that alone was worth the 20$ to me.

Word. I'm definitely copping. The last ten minutes have to be the fastest moving and most dramatic I've ever seen in a documentary.

Spartan (or anyone else who can answer this): Regarding the 2nd Bava box set, which cuts should I watch?

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:50 pm

Rabid Dogs all day

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:53 pm

Cool thanks for the advice cause I was def leaning towards rabid dogs after I read That kidnapped was the version his son finished years later. Actually in the middle of Emergency Squad right now so maybe ill get to it later this week

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:54 pm

Shit why you guys gotta be all contradictory and shit?

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:59 pm

huh, that's kind of funny

maybe I'm remembering wrong or something

I feel like I hated the newly shot stuff in kidnapped though

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:08 am

quick spin around the internet confirms that I liked Rabid Dogs much better

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:12 am

no it's my bad, the og version is most definitely the way to go, i just goofed again on which one was which. sorry for the confusion

Rabid Dogs was the one that Lamberto Bava didn't tamper with.

I've not seen House of Exorcism yet but I really loved Lisa And The Devil. HoE is basically LatD but with added scenes cashing in on the whole of The Exorcist craze from back then. Been falling behind on my movies lately.

Copped these recently.

Pre-ordered / Upcoming purchases

Rituals is getting a proper release then. Might buy that too.

Looking forward to hearing if you liked the more experimental parts of storytelling in Dream Home (for a slasher), the gore is a winner without question.

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:48 am

Rituals is slated for an April release and it's listed on a few online dvd retailer sites already but knowing Code Red, I'll believe it when I see it eg. Nightmares In A Damaged Brain is still not out after how many years of "coming soon". There might be a rights dispute.

Looking forward to Dream Home a lot.

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 7:46 am

Copped these today.

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:38 am

I really need to import me some of those Arrow blurays.
My latest:

Most of those blus were from a local Blockbuster closeout, cost me less than $5 each

I need to see that new fist of legend remake with Donnie Yen. I am a huge fan of the first one with Jet Li.

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 12:03 pm

Fist of Legend is actually a remake of The Chinese Connection aka Fists of Fury

Goddamn, great job. Reminds me I need to hit up the Borders closeout today, see if their blu-ray prices have gotten any more realistic.

yeah I know, but the movie will be more of a remake than Fist of Legend than Chinese Connection.

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 5:27 pm

Since we discussed the dvd-r release earlier in this thread, might as well mention that this is finally getting a proper release in the UK in a couple months

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 5:49 pm

I don't think much about it has been released other than Optimum is putting it out.

I just watched Legend Of The Fist: Return Of Chen Zen it's essentially a sequel to Fists Of Fury. Quite a few Bruce Lee references namely Yen running around in a Kato costume turning cracking a few skulls and the trademark sound effects of Bruce. Good film but a little overboard with the drama which left me impatient for the fighting. I prefer Fist Of Legend over this.

As for Rolling Thunder, out on 30th May over here. Can't wait.
