It's a short film, maybe 70 minutes. As far as I know there's only one R1 out, I forget the studio, think it's 'Groovemedia' or something equally insipid. PQ / AV etc are all standard / fine for a contemporary film of its ilk. Can't remember any extras, but who cares? Do you really want to hear Olaf telling you how a rubber demon having its knob cut off relates to him not getting the right kind of sweets on his sixth birthday etc? I never do, I hate extras, they rip the mystique out of a film.
I remember some reviews stating that a German DVD / Blu-ray release was heavily cut. If true it's a shame, 'cos it seems to have a groovier cover, with a f*cked up mangled face covered in vom.
In terms of bodily secretions, I recommend pissing on a large man in SM gear wearing an octopus mask - think this actually happens in the movie. There's some piss, anyway, and an octopus mask, somewhere.
In terms of spiritual release, hey it's what we're all looking for.
Hopefully covered all dimensions.

I've no real interest in splatter and gore these days but as soon as I read the words 'some piss...and an octopus mask' I'm thinking I may have dismissed the sub genre too early.

Another very entertaining Shaw wuxia fantasy.
Lo Lieh is really funny in this one btw as "Bi Gu of East Island".

Fun film

Not to get to off topic it's a real shame Celestial Pictures didn't use the original posters for their Shaw Bros DVD releases

IMDb: Titles With Plot Summary Written By "Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil" Sorted by Title Ascending

I've seen his name many times over the past months and years but didn't realise he'd done that many plot summaries. Maybe works for the IMDB or just sits at his computer everyday typing out plot summaries for films and TV shows he's seen or has read about. Either way, the work he does is generally quite accurate and well written.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - the best of the franchise - brilliant De Palma
RELIGULOUS - Bill Maher's hilarious doc about religion and making fun of everything, and on the way religios nutters get angry

[Slippery Jack]

le Havre - Kaurismaki is the man

Demons of the Mind - pretty cool, superb cast - Michael Horden wielding the flaming cross is a truly iconic image

I think Celestial only provided the masters?
IVL released them in HK,btw the Thai United/Celestial dvd's seem to have reversible covers with the original artwork,at least the ones I own do.

Here's an example:

Unless I fell asleep and dreamed it, it's an octopus mask wearing Chas 'n' Dave who're pissing on a bound and gagged Danny Dyer... wasn't gonna tell you, knowing how worked up you get about these things MTDS! Bit of an obvious crowd pleaser from Ittenbach if you ask me, wish he'd stuck with his original vision of Jim Davidson strangling himself with his own cock!

Just watched the excellent Terminator Salvation and seeing the great Michael Ironside reminded me I haven't watched Scanners in awhile, so that is what I'm currently watching. Someone really needs to put out a BD of this, one of my favourite Cronenberg films
