really tempted to sig one or all of those

i've come to appreciate merli more over the years. at first i always just considered him a poor man's franco nero, but he deserves more credit than that

Shameless have an upcoming R2 release of Almost Human on the way. Not really a fan of Lenzi's movies other than a couple of titles but I'll probably cop this.

The lenticular cover is awesome. NSFW

It's all region I think (not 100% sure), released by UK DVD label Shameless.

Not released until next month but I have it on pre-order already.

Really happy to see more and more of the smaller boutique dvd labels getting into bluray. The dvd box design is better though.

These are in my NF queue, any of em skippable? My bad if they were covered already, I skimmed thru the pages at lightning speed- always a problem when I arrive at a worthwhile thread late

I actually own The Crook but never watched it.
Emergency Squad is pretty dope though.

The crook is prob the best of the 3 but it's more of a Noir thriller then an action flick, kinda Melville-ish. Emergency squad is proper 70s italo cop action. Last round is not bad at all either but is the lesser of the bunch

so where are we these days with this genre?

I haven't seen much coming out from raro lately.

I got a random inquiry from my INSTAGRAM the other day. Some guy was hard pressed to get his hands on my Maurizio Merli movies.
he basically said

"I have been trying to reach Fred who released these, but he seems to have vanished into thin air."

Id like to tell him where to get copies, but am pretty sure these are way OOP.

What's the word on this movie, compañeros? Lenzi, Saxon and Milian piqued my interest.

I copped a multi region blu ray player through an amazon vendor and have been going crazy copping releases with region codes I couldn't play before. They have players for around $150 if you're thinking about making the plunge.
