Code Red

[Gold6082]

somebody on amazon wants £149.99 + postage for primal rage,bloody ridicolous!! I got mine (not that long ago) off ebay for about £12.99

I am not sure how many code red's I need to try hunt down I have around 15 of their titles,how many (roughly) are available?

Primal Rage is a rare one...so very nice price you got there.
Do you only want the complete "official Code Red" collection or all the "Code Red related" ones as well...
Have a look here:
Complete list of Code Red releases

This list needs to be updated with the latest releases btw.

I got mine for about a tenner from AmazonUK when it first came out.I'm surprised that's sold out quicker than other decent CR titles like RITUALS !.The same goes for Exterminators Of The Year 3000 & Lightblast which I ordered from Diabolik before they quickly went OOP.

Rituals had a second pressing but these titles never got beyond a first pressing.

The Unseen seems to be oop as well btw.

Many CR titles have very limited pressings and never get repressed.

For Example Pets had only 1200 copies pressed I think.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Surely good business sense would mean that sought after titles get another pressing. Code Red don't benefit from someone selling Pets for £50 on Amazon do they. So why not issue another thousand for example.

[bdc]

There's not enough demand for another pressing (minimum 1000) it seems...
Also with some oop titles it took very long to sell their first (limited) pressing.

"Sometimes when i OOP a dvd, some people ask me to re-release it. I usual tell them it'll sell 30 copies and I'll have 970 copies sitting in a vault since most people already have it. I guess people already have it ?????? Oh well." (Bill/CR)

Recent oop titles include:
Long Ride from Hell, A
Unseen, The
Stunt Rock

Possible oop candidates since they will probably be discontinued according to Bill because of poor sales:

Blade (1973) / Ring of Death ( Detective, Un ) ( Detective Belli ) (1969) - Double Feature

Lawless Land Double Feature
- Cut Throats Nine ( Condenados a vivir ) (1972)
- Joshua (1976)

Stoney ( Surabaya Conspiracy ) (1969) / Killer Likes Candy, The ( Killer per sua maestÃ*, Un ) (1968) - Double Feature

Mafia Martial Arts Mayhem
- Godfather Squad, The ( Xiangang xiao jiao fu ) ( Little Godfather from Hong Kong ) (1974)
- Bruce's Last Battle

Btw Night of the Demon seems to have sold out,don't know if there will be a second pressing.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Keep meaning to pick up Stoney (Barbara, sigh!) However the reportedly botched release of The Killer Likes Candy kept me away.

Still its only £7.26 delivered on Amazon.

[bdc]

Nothing botched about The Killer Likes Candy,it was mastered from the only available materials.
Yes it's pan and scan but that didn't ruin my enjoyment.
Same version as on the old Rare Flix set.

Bill owns Killer btw and I hope he finds some decent materials for it sometime.
The whole Euro spy/secret agent genre has a limited audience though.

Stoney looks great btw but I still haven't watched all of it.
Bouchet looks stunning in it.
