What's Your Latest Buy - and From Where?

[bigandya]

I just got one new and sealed from the Amazon Marketplace for £8.95 plus £1.24 postage.

Some ebay sellers in the states still have them at $9.99 - $11.99

Dont be fooled by these UK ebay rip-off artists who are charging £30-£50 for these Midnite Movies double bills claiming them to be OOP and rare - if you dig around online you can pick virtually all of them up for under a tenner, some a lot less.

Savage Streets - beautifully packaged, can’t wait to see it
Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers - more Linnea Quigley
Fist Of Legend (R1 2 disc ultimate edition) - finally dropped through the letterbox, one of Jet Li’s best, sadly not as definitive an edition as it should have been. Quite frankly the Weinsteins shouldn't be allowed to licence Asian films. The crappy-looking English credits have been retained from the abominable Dimension version (Bey "sellout" Logan of course makes no mention of this in his commentary) meaning that the film doesn't start or end properly, but at least it has the original Japanese/Chinese audio. Good extras though.

I’ve also ordered

Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat and Dead Heat

[Vaughan]

Savage Streets

Yeah, that looks like some great cheese.....

[the13thman]

I have to give BCI their due on this one, the artwork on the slipcover is different to the art on the sleeve (why more companies don’t do this I don’t know), there’s a nice insert with some poster reproductions, it looks damn good.

Not sure why it’s a 2 disc set given that the only stand-alone extras are trailers and interviews, I doubt the three commentaries take up that much space and there’s no indication of any DTS or 5.1 tracks.

Anyways it’s the movie that matters, I missed it on VHS so am looking forward to finally seeing it, it’s the kind of film I know I’m going to enjoy…

UPDATE: Watched it last night, its been beautifully remastered, BCI have done a damn good job.

For Your Height Only

An absolute classic!

[mic]

Yeah, I watched For Your Height Only the other night and it certainly has some classic dialogue:
'Ow my little head!'
'Shall we get it on?'
'I declare war on that little stinker!'
'It's not the size it's how you use it!'

The 'tragic' ending is hilarious too.

Something of a camp classic.
