So sweet So Perverse is the weaker of the three Lenzi/Baker films I've seen. Both Paranoia and Orgasmo were better with Orgasmo being the most original.

Thanks for the info! I'm having an existential crisis at the size of my collection at the moment so I'll be pruning it down (less blockbusters) before I start adding more stuff, will pick this up when it's more heavily discounted

No problem mate and I hear you about having a large collection of expendable things. I've started donating many dvds to charity shops as there is no real market for these.

My local Scope is now fully stocked with my ex-collection

I took around 50 titles last week including the Italian BD of Dawn of the Dead (4 disc version) so someone will be getting a treat.

At least I'm not alone.

Been thinking... what 88 need are...

1. More John Woo films - Hard Boiled etc need a proper release.

2. A dedicated Cat III line branded as such.

Transmission over... that is all.

John Matrix · #**8328** 14th July 2021, 06:28 PM

As all these companies seem to be releasing the old HKL and Dragon Dynasty titles I'm expecting these soon

The Killer
Hard Boiled
A Better Tomorrow 2
Once A Thief
Bullet in the Head
Flaming Brothers
City of Fire
Full Contact

That would be great! I accidentally watched The Killer for the first time in 20 yrs recently and was taken aback by how great it is. Itd be great to see a cheesy Hard Target blu snuck under the door as well.

The HK action stuff seems better than the HK swords stuff (though I'm no expert). I'm not sad to see Arrow nab the Shaw Bros rights as it never appealed personally. Just cant / couldn't get into the 88 Asia range really. Peking Man was ok, Oily Maniac and Hex were disappointing for me.

The Arrow Death Star has stamped on the 88 Asia party by the looks of it. Only The Woo can save the day...

How did you accidentally watch it? I'll need to give it a watch again soon myself cos I've not seen it since it was first shown on FilmFour. Weird thing was there was a disclaimer before it saying that the ITC had made them cut several scenes.
