Penitentiary: Specs Thread

Just realised it's NTSC. Strrrange.

I love these films and already have the old US DVD releases but will pick this up for the Fanaka commentary - genuinely intrigued to hear what he's got to say for himself, he quite an out there character from the sounds of things (and this is backed up by how bonkers his films are). Guess my dream of a blu release for these will never come true but this will do for now. Really hope that Soul Vengeance (aka Welcome Home Brother Charles) and Penitentiary III make it out someday too.

Is it just me, or would it make more sense to advertise this as a double feature? A bold Penitentiary 1 & 2 on the cover would surely make it seem like a more attractive purchase, would it not?

It just seems a bit silly to hide away a second feature as an 'extra'. Surely it's a major selling point?

It isn't just you and I've passed your thoughts on to Arrow in case it isn't too late to change the cover art slightly.

Great news. As mentioned, it'd be great to see Penitentiary III on DVD at some point in the future to go with this release!

Seeing an uncut release for Welcome Home, Brother Charles would be great

I came to the conclusion that the reason the second film isn't mentioned on the front cover (and the same with The Cheerleaders), is that you can't really have decent reverse artwork solely for the 1st film if it's adverstised as a double feature on the front

Will having Penetentiary II as an extra feature put the certification up to an 18? I was extremely exited about this release but now I'm a bit worried. •~•

I'm afraid it will. With the 2nd film classified as an 18, the dvd will need to be an 18 too.

May be a bit of an issue there!!!!!
Eh it's ok, plenty more titles to be released.
