oh I see when you said he's not younger I apparently thought you meant the exact opposite of that because I'm an idiot

as evidenced by when I said he was younger also than myself even though I was born in 82

this somehow made it under my radar

wild east put this out in the last month or two

Payment in blood is better known by the name 7 Winchesters for a Massacre, and director EG Rowland is better known by the name of Enzo Castellari

why they decided to de-emphasise this while pushing the Ed kookie Burns (who?) angle, especially considering the recent revival of Castellari in DVD form, is beyond me

judging by what i've read, it's a valiant but overall lesser western effort as compared to Castellari's later work, this being only the second movie he directed. supposedly plenty of action but a bit uneven in tone, i can live with that

fukkk yea, don't get to update this too often these days

stormy this looks up your alley

As previously reported, Severin Films will release Enzo G. Castellari's war epic La battaglia d'Inghilterra aka Eagles Over London (1969). Now the release date has been set to July 28, 2009. No tech specs at the moment... stay tuned!

Nine years before his WWII classic INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, Enzo Castellari virtually invented the 'Macaroni Combat' genre with this over-the-top saga of valor, vengeance and machine-gun mayhem. Hollywood legend Van Johnson (THE CAINE MUTINY) and Frederick Stafford (Hitchcock's TOPAZ) star as military officers pursuing a merciless team of Nazi saboteurs through war-ravaged London, featuring Castellari's jaw-dropping recreations of the evacuation of Dunkirk, the Battle Of Britain and more. Francisco Rabal (NIGHTMARE CITY), Ida Galli (THE PSYCHIC) and Luigi Pistilli (THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY) co-star in this explosive epic ג also known as BATTLE SQUADRON ג now restored on DVD for the first time ever in America!

Enzo's done a movie called Caribbean Basterds.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800 ... id=13&cs=1

Enzo and Tarantino: 'Basterds' brothers
Italian director is man with mission in Cannes
By NICK VIVARELLI

Enzo G. Castellari, the Italian genre master who in 1978 helmed the G.I.'s-on-a-mission movie "The Inglorious Bastards," which inspired Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," is in Cannes on a double "Basterds" mission.
Galvanized about having found such a huge fan in Tarantino, who cast him in a cameo as a Nazi general in "Basterds" -- the same role Castellari played in his own film -- the 70-year-old cult helmer is also on the Croisette tubthumping a promo reel for his new feature, which comes after a 15-year hiatus.

The plot centers on a trio of young rich kids who rebel against their arms-dealing parents and also stumble across a big drug cache.

Set on a Venezuelan isle, it is aptly titled "Caribbean Basterds."

"Quentin's going to be surprised when he sees the title, and I'm going to say: 'You were inspired by my movie, but I just copied from yours with no shame,' " he jokes, speaking from his editing suite in Rome.

Castellari describes "Caribbean Basterds" as "Action, action, action and lots of sex and drugs."

"There is lots of violence against rich folks, and the kids take advantage of the situation to have fun with a few orgies."

But though the title takes its cue from Tarantino, the pic is actually inspired by Stanley Kubrick.

One of the three characters is a big Kubrick fan, so in their punitive missions they wear bowler hats, white uniforms, and wield metal batons.

"It's a homage to Kubrick with various genuflections on my part," says Castellari.

Shot in English on the Isla Margarita in high-def digital, it stars Venezuelan supermodel Keyla Espinoza and is being sold by Italy's Surf Film.

Castellari says "he could not have dreamed of anything better" than being on the Berlin set of Tarantino's "Basterds" where he spent three weeks.

"When I got to the airport I was picked up by a black van. Inside was a sealed envelope with several pockets. One had my pay. Another had a cell phone with everybody's phone number. Another had the script, the production schedule, and a guide to Berlin. I said to myself, Wow! What a gift!"

But "the most beautiful thing for me was to see Tarantino visibly moved as he was directing me.

"He swooped down on me in the tallest crane I've ever seen, and instead of just saying 'action' he whispered 'Enzo' to give me my cue. It was magic."

Here in Cannes, the Weinstein Company is putting Castellari up at the Hotel du Cap.

"How is it?" he asks.

recently watched this

Excellent cat-and-mouse cop movie with Alain Delon in the star detective role and Jean-Louis Trintignant as a cold-blooded killer/fugitive on the run. Somewhat loosely based on the true story of Emile Buisson who killed a couple dozen people while on the run in France. Highly recommended.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 6:30 pm

FUCKING FINALLY, a reason to bump this thread again

no date yet, but wild east is usually reliable as far as actually delivering promised releases in a timely manner

i've seen confessions of a police captain, it's more of a thriller/police procedural than an all out actionfest, really good though. Damiani is great director for this kind of thing, can't go wrong with Nero and Balsam either

don't knwo much about the other one, but the word around the net is good

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 6:33 pm

Not sure but Summertime Killer's theme was used on Kill Bill.

I wouldn't mind watching it, a fan of Olivia Hussey from back in the day.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 6:35 pm

Hussey in R&J is solid pedoboners

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 6:38 pm

Hussey in Jesus of Nazareth = sexiest Biblical role since Belucci as Mary Magdalene.

Oh shit! I'm definitely going to hell for that.

She was mighty fine in Black Christmas

still going to hell

I'm pretty much sold after reading up about these. "Double-Bill" type dvd releases drive me nuts though because I can't catalog them properly.

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 1:14 pm

Yeah thanks to Drizzle I saw Confessions, and it is a pretty good movie

Summertime Killer I will check out, had the theme song on that Baretta 70 cd from way back, pretty much obligated to check out any movie that was represented on that cd since it's kind of what got me into eurocrime

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 1:23 pm

found a fan made trailer for summertime killer, looks about right

Anyone know if this is any good?

Not the actual movies but the quality of the release/transfers?
Violent Naples/Cynic Rat & Fist/3 other intriguing movies for this cheap can't be legit right?
