Some scoop-up!!!

Sometimes you're just plain lucky! I've been keeping an eye out for this Japanese video tape all week on eBay: It's the gory and over-the-top dark & nasty Hong Kong horror movie CALAMITY OF SNAKES. It's never been released officially on dvd (unless you count Brentwood's fucking bootleg!! Which I don't!) and the only way to get an official release is to head for one of the Japanese video tapes! Usually the tape goes for at least a 100 bucks but today everyone was asleep (apparently!) and I got it for a whopping 14 dollars and 50 cents!!! Totally brilliant! And it's the Cantonese version too! (both the Cantonese and the Eng. dubbed versions are out on Jap. vhs. The Brentwood boot carries the dubbed version).



And if that wasn't enough, check this out: Yesterday, I got the amazing Japanese poster for the totally über entertaining Indo flick LADY TERMINATOR!!! Argh!
Btw, it's the same image they used for the Jap. vhs! - which incidentally sits nicely on my shelf, YAY! :-)

Rare Rambu video covers

As this is slowly turning into a RAMBU fan club anyway (LOL) I might as well show you a couple of rare RAMBU vhs releases. Unfortunately none of them are mine.

EDIT: Woo-hoo! The Belgian vhs is mine now! According to Miltos (head honcho of Cinehound) it's more letterboxed than the Greek vhs and has better picture! YAY!

Killing a cat

...uh, no not really (actually it's a reference to The Cure's "Killing an Arab" which was censored off the reprint of the album, and of course I HATE and LOATHE censorship). No, curiosity killed the cat and THIS cat is a curious guy (I'm sure you're aware 'cat' is 1950s slang for at cool guy, right); Lissen, yesterday, completely out of the blue, I noticed a sudden interest in this blog from FACEBOOK! A shitload of hits actually. What's going on? Someone please tell me.
Obviously I DID expect Facebook fan groups and fan sites for JACK J to pop up at some stage...

No, no, I'm not green with envy just because IAN GOT THIS PICTURE FROM PETER O'BRIAN TODAY!!!

From RAMBU himself!!!


My mate in crime, Ian F. over in New Jersey, received this in the email today!!! Is that fucken cool or what!!!

Stay tooned to this blog for much more on Rambu and Indo movies in general.

PS: And if you're new to all this then do yourself a favour and click the "rambu" label at the bottom of this post and go ahead and read my other posts about RAMBU (the movie) and Peter O'Brian (who played the Rambu character).

Bollywood horror, Bollywood action, in other words... MORE BOLLYWOOD!!!

Hey, look what the mailman just brought me all the way from a small village in India:

RAAT (a horror movie)


INSAAF (a gritty and violent cop flick with song & dance numbers)


Obviously I haven't watched any of them yet and when I do I'd better take off the entire afternoon to do so; none of the films clock in before way after the two hour mark! Both are subtitled in English.
My apologies for the crappy cover scan quality, I just copied them off the seller's site.
