Home Video: Upcoming Blu-Rays and DVDs

[cjefferys]

Awesome, I love this film and they even include the MST3K version. Not sure what the story is with those aspect ratios though. IMDB says that this was shot in Academy ratio (1.37:1) which makes sense for a lower budget film from this era (not that IMDB is always correct), but this is being offered in both 1.85:1 and 2.00:1 instead? (why both?) Can anyone shed light on this?

I like this film a lot, too--perfect Saturday afternoon "B" thriller. Good to see some extras added.

This movie may not be for "everyone", but if you like "so bad it's good" cinema, I give RAW FORCE my highest recommendation. It is on sale this Memorial Day weekend from Vinegar Syndrome. Here is the link :Link to RAW FORCE. With shipping, it'll cost you about $21. They have lots of other fun titles on sale, but also a lot of junk, and stuff that isn't family friendly.

Raw Force is best watched with a bunch of friends looking to laugh like crazy and have a good time. But I found myself laughing out loud watching it by myself. Basically it's an early 80s martial arts vs. undead raised by cannibals movie with lots of nudity and absolutely hilarious characters who take a cruise on a twisted version of the Love Boat to visit this evil island. I cannot recommend this enough, but again, it is not a "good" movie, and it may not be for everyone.

Vinegar Syndrome is now offering it in one of their snazzy luxury slipcovers, so as a collectible blu ray, it's delightful.

Warning, their site is NSFW as they sell a lot of adult films.

If you are looking to put together a bigger order with them, I also recommend:

Mausoleum
Wonder Women
Sweet Sugar (don't hate me... it's a fun movie)
Count Dracula's Great Love (Paul Naschy)

I haven't seen Nurse Sherry, but I know Palitoy has it.
And some of the Rudy Ray Moore Blaxploitation movies look fun, but I haven't tried them.

Warner Archive will be releasing V: The Original Mini Series to Blu Ray

[Nostalgiabuff]

I have V and the Final battle on DVD. unless there is something special about the re-release I will not buy another copy

[Hedji]

Well, for one thing, it will be framed in the Director's preferred aspect ratio of 1.33:1, ("Open Matte") if that kind of thing is important to you. It should look stunning too. Warner does a great job with their restorations.

Good News: The Black Hole coming to Blu Ray in August.

Bad News: It will be a Disney Movie Club Exclusive. You can either join the movie club or pay a bit more on eBay.
