Dark HK: THE RAPE AFTER (1983)

The auction runs for another 6 days.

EDIT: The film is from 1983, not '86. Thanks, Andras.

Gory & nasty Hong Kong: THE BEASTS (Dutch cover)

[VHS/Holland/letterbox/English dub/Dutch subtitles/uncut]
(click scan for bigger size)

I have written about the HK movie THE BEASTS (aka Flesh And Bloody Terror) several times this week and I've fortunately been able to show you a scan of the cool pre-cert VHS release from the UK. However, the DVD-r I own is actually taken from the video tape released in Holland and it annoyed me greatly that I didn't have a scan of this version to post. Obviously, all I needed was to write my mate Teade (aka KingofB) in Holland and ask for a scan. :D I knew he had one cos, well, initially I got my DVD-r from him, LOL. Thanks buddy, you're the best!

I should point out I have never seen the UK tape so I can't tell you whether it's presented in fullscreen or letterbox. The Dutch tape is both uncut and letterboxed. The print carries the English dub.

PS: If you think the UK cover is heaps better I won't argue with you.
;-)



And here's a bootleg "release" of the Flesh And Bloody Terror version (or Flesh And Bloody Horror as it's re-titled here).

Too cute for school

Oh, G.E.M. is a popular pop singer from HK by the way. :D

Not a film you see every day

Jared published this over at Worldweird but I gotta post it here too!



NB: YouTube have begun to show their videos in widescreen now and unfortunately Blogger haven't updated the "video window" layout so you'll still see it as a square picture here, i.e. some of the video is missing. To see the proper picture just go to YouTube.

Turkish Star Wars trailer

Alright, if you read the comments to the last post; here it is: The rare trailer for TURKISH STAR WARS (aka The Man Who Saves The World):

The lowdown on Mr Turkish Rambo

Ed Glaser, the gent behind the RAMPAGE (aka Turkish Rambo/Korkusuz) DVD, has just posted an interview they did with Serdar Kebapcilar who played the Turkish Rambo character in RAMPAGE. It's a pretty long and relaxed interview, and it gives a good impression of the guy and how he started out in films and stuff. It's in Turkish with English subs.



Cetin Inanc, the director of RAMPAGE who also did über-cool films such as TURKISH ROCKY, DEATH WARRIOR, and TURKISH STAR WARS.

Dark Hong Kong: BRUTAL SORCERY clip

I mentioned BRUTAL SORCERY a couple of days ago and here's a clip from the film. Now I really wanna get hold of this! :D

Drool away

No, it's certainly not the greatness or cool artwork that make these cover scans so appealing!! With the top one it's knowing that this is the only known copy of this tape! This is the Danish VHS release of LEMORA: A CHILD'S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL (1973) and no, unfortunately I don't own it, a collector buddy does. :(
But man, that cover!!

Here's another very rare one that I'm happy to report is sitting nicely on my shelf (the scan is of my mate's copy though); LOVE BUTCHER (1975).


EDIT: For an update go here.

De Dødes Tjern on upcoming dvd?

A couple of months back, Jocke (of Gummimonster-fetischism blog) reviewed the Norwegian horror movie DE DØDES TJERN (aka Lake of the Dead) from 1958, directed by Kåre Bergstrøm.

Apparently the film is totally rad and one IMDb user said he had to turn it off as it was too scary. Gee. So obviously I'd like to watch this spooky slice of celluloid but unfortunately it seems there's no DVD or VHS versions available. It's only been released as a film club VHS and shown on Norwegian TV. I haven't been able to find any info on upcoming DVDs either. Boo-hoo. So my question to my scores of Norwegian readers; do any of you know of an upcoming release (or if it's scheduled for broadcast)??? Thanks.

NB: No need to direct me towards torrent sites. I don't download. I fear the gestapo of the Eastern block country that I live in more than I want to see these rare films. And yes that is sad. :/
LOL.

Blah!

Blah! I had too much pizza and I feel sick now. I feel bloated. I feel like a preggie. :-(
