i'd say even in America this title is better known as City of the Living Dead. is Scorpion going for the old fashioned technique of retitling to try and fool casual buyers into thinking this is a different movie to City

i suspect it will be the same master as Arrow's LE

[Rik]

Yeah, I’ve never liked that title, see also Hell of the Living Dead

I’m more than happy with Arrows LE so I won’t be getting this

[Nostalgic]

I'm happy with the Arrow edition, I like the american vhs artwork at the top but that's it. Loads of copies of this for me already! Lol!

[Dave Boy]

Yeah, Arrows release of City Of The Living Dead and Rollerball are good enough for me.

'Grunt! The Wrestling Movie' (1985) - Coming July 7th

"Welcome to the world of professional wrestling, a world of glamour and theatrics with bone crushing rivalries and muscle mangling madness. A World where purveyors of pain, sultans of slam and gurus of gouge reign supreme and where a headlock carries as much weight as a handshake. Grunt! The Wrestling Movie takes you behind the scenes of professional wrestling and into the life of contender Mad Dog Joe DeCurso (Magic Schwarz, Over the Top). After a mishap in the ring, Mad Dog disappears and controversy develops around his mysterious disappearance. Some people think he’s dead, others think he had mental breakdown. But for legion of fans there’s another theory, a new contender has burst upon the scene—The Mask. Is he really Mad Dog making a comeback? All the answers lie in wait in the stunning conclusion… a Battle Royale for the heavyweight championship of the world… a free-for-all survival of the fittest in the rabbit punching, gut wrenching, head butting flesh. Hold on to your seats… THE FIGHT IS ON! Directed by cult filmmaker Allan Holzman (Forbidden World, Programmed to Kill) and featuring cult TV personality Wally George, star Lydie Denier (Bulletproof, Satan’s Mistress), and wrestling legends Dick Murdock and Exotic Adrian Street"

"The two giants of Kino Lorber and Scorpion Releasing are preparing to bring you two more giants to your TV screens very soon. We are proud to be presenting the cult classic action film, The Barbarians, starring everyone's favorite muscle-bound twins, David Paul and Peter Paul. Directed by the iconic Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust), this story sees twin Barbarian brothers Kutchek and Gore seeking revenge against the Warlord Kadar (played by the late, great Richard Lynch) for massacring their tribe and kidnapping them when they were children.

The film also stars such greats as Eva LaRue (CSI: Miami, Ghoulies Go to College), Virginis Bryant (Demons 2, Demons 3: The Ogre), and Micheal Berryman (Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes).

Start flexing those biceps now because The Barbarians is coming very soon!"

Was going to use my Shipito account (for the first time) to order Death Wish 3 direct from Ronin Flix as I wasn't sure if Diabolikdvd were going to get it, but checked again tonight and they had it in stock, so naturally I had to buy it
