Wonder if 88 will get any more obscure Fulci stuff out after Touch of Death?
Even the Raro version has a documentary.

I think I've pretty much lost my patience with 'The Italian Collection' now. I'm going to pick up the odd thing here and there, but I have no expectations at all.

Having a trailer and the Italian opening credits doesn't count as added extras and neither does a 3 sided bit of essay count as a booklet.

agree 110%. how they can think what they put on most release counts as extras is beyond me!

Maybe they've employed the same business model as Shameless, with their "Shameless Trailer Reel of Films We've Already Released"

I suppose part of the problem is the UK market is quite small, a lot of people in the UK seem to prefer streaming and that the BBFC must certificate all bonus material, moving menus ect. American labels in this respect have a bigger advantage than UK ones. I think the economics of things must play a part.

I don't mind if stuff is free of extras, it's the film which is important. What I don't like is when they advertise extras but it's a trailer. It's like the olden days of DVD when the 'extras' were chapter points and a menu screen

Not just any menu screen, but an ANIMATED menu screen!

What annoys me with companies (including 88) is under bonus features they list things like -

Transferred in HD from original 16mm materials
How the hell is that a bonus feature?
