How about the other Corman blu's?
Are those all region locked?
Unfortunately this is the only one that's region free.

Thanks Stevoj,just looked it up myself (that's why I edited my previous post).
I'm curious why dvd beaver states this is region locked though?
Maybe their review copy was?

Perhaps. Just to be on the safe side i'm going to stick in a couple of discs I know are region A locked and try Star Crash again. Wouldn't want people buying it because I say it's region free and It turns out that I made a mistake!

I'm such an idiot! Not only do I have a cheap multi-region player but I also have a region B player! It was easier just to stick it in the B player. Double and triple checked it and it IS region free. Phew! That was hard work.

Great news!
And thanks for the hard work!

Btw wasn't there a UK company who had picked up the rights to several Corman films (I think it was Nouveaux?)?

Ooooh, thanks for that nugget, Steve! Think I'll grab one of those now (just in case later pressings are region-locked, like Dark Sky did with TCM).

Cool.

I saw the post about that on CMF. Disc 2 is actually a dvd, so it's region 1.
