I hope you still get "Jack, the Ripper", since it's an extras packed release with an excellent presentation.

If you miss out on "Voodoo Passion" though, it's not the biggest loss in the world, though that one might come handy if you're somehow looking for the exploitation equivalent of "Easy Listening" to relax your senses...

I trust your judgement Peter so anything you reconmend will go straight on my shopping list.
Thankyou for your help, its much apreciated mate.

The last time I was in HMV the Franco collection disc's were on offer so i'll pick a few up when im down getting my next 2 Shameless discs from Zavvi.

Franco has the dubious honour of being the most censored/banned director in the UK, even today his films are still being banned eg Women in Cellblock 9.

@vipco: Thank you very much, that's nice to know.

Though I have to warn you: I'm one of those who actually liked the "Halloween" remake (theatrical AND Director's Cut)...and that gets regularly bashed.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Hey Peter,you're right mate the HALLOWEEN remake was enjoyable....and VIPCO,he's right ....JACK THE RIPPER is one of Franco's far superior efforts...

COUNT DRACULA (Though that one I haven't seen yet, but heard many good things about it).

Just out of curiosity regarding the Erwin C. Dietrich Francos in the first ABUK box set:

Which audio option do you prefer for the flicks: The English or German dub?

Just to add some unneccesary extra info on the German dub:

If you want to hear how Clint Eastwood sounds in Germany, you just have to listen to the great voice of Klaus Kindler dubbing "Father Vincent" in "Portugese Nun" and "Love Camp"'s Guerillia Leader is dubbed by none less than the German voice of Robert de Niro, Christian Brueckner!

Clearly that spices things up quite nicely for me.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Same with Italian films....there is ALWAYS a guy who if you turn away and listen,you'd SWEAR is De Niro.....Maybe he HAS recently turned to dubbing dvd's due to box office drubbing.....

[vincenzo]

Keep away from Franco's two Fu Manchu films (Blood & Castle). Absolutely bloody awful.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Shit....see what i mean there's another two.......
