    NUNZIO - late 70's NYC retarted superhero. Great sex scene. I copped a bootleg VHS tape recently but i want a clean copy.

    The Lynda Carter movie where she shows some tit. Bobby Jo...somethin like that. I copped a dvd version and that shit was fuzzy as a mofo.

    is the original rollerball out on dvd yet?

    It came out in 1998. While the release is far from a deluxe package (no meticulous digital remastering), it does have a commentary from director Norman Jewison and a very dated behind-the-scenes documentary.

    I think there was a Special Edition DVD released a couple of years ago to co-incide with the John McTiernan remake.

    I used to go digging for VHS tapes at video rental places. Visited every single one of them in the southern half of germany. mainly collecting italian police movies, soft porn with raunchy soundtracks and 70s/80s horror. had dozends of Jess Franco movies. my favorite movie at the time was "Mosquito der Schaender" supersleazy gory german true crime shocker with psychedelic soundtrack (never released on record). the day i copped my first copy of this one, i was so excited that on the way to the next video store, i totaled my car, smashing into a row of other cars waiting for the light to turn green at a big intersection. didn't even hit the break, got out of the wreckage after recovering bag full of VHS raer from the backseat, sat down next to the smoking wreckage and was amazed at myself for still truly feeling happy. had the car towed away, took a cab home and watched the movie over and over. sold most of my collection in '96 before moving to NY. of course not Mosquito...

    Where do I find a copy of that Japanese movie Battle Royale that one of my old roomates took with them. Huh!?!?! Tell me that. That was a sweet movie. I was told it is unavailable in the USA.

    Gives you a comprehensive breakdown of the different DVD versions out there, and which ones you should go for if you're limited to a R0/R1 only player.

    a friend of mine in college rented a copy of Mr. T's Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool from Blockbuster and never returned it. He didn't even have to pay for the rental because it was one of their "educational" videos that you could just take out for free. I would consider buying a copy of that.

    I copped The Driver last year and its coming out on Bluray/DVD this year.

    The Color Purple has been re-released on DVD/Bluray already.

    I was visiting a friend in queens recently and while hitting a thrift in his neighborhood looking for records he pulled a vhs copy of candy tangerine man, it was one of like 5 tapes they had for sale, was ready to grab it if he turned it down (he doesn't really collect vhs/blaxpoitation shit) but he wanted it. Guess I don't know how rare it is though. I have the dvd bootleg but whatever vhs it was ripped from had some heavy tracking that makes a few minutes unwatchable, or maybe the disc is scratched, something, but either way, I was a bit jealous.....although I did end up with a decent Nelson Ned record (his second I believe) and a sleeveless copy of the S/T Danny Rivera, neither of which I knew about when I grabbed them so the needle drop was a pleasant suprise amongst the other latin chud I grabbed.

    I'm still looking for the film "Justiz" by Hans W. Gei??end??rfer, which is film adaptation of the book of the same name by Friedrich D??rrenmatt.
    I had seen it over 10 years ago on TV and it struck me as one as the absurdest and freaky movies I have ever watched.
    Shit is elusive. As far as I know it hasn't been on TV for years and a DVD release doesn't exist.
    Quite strange for a movie that was nominated in 1994 for the Oscars and which was directed by the rather prolific Hans W. Gei??end??rfer.

    Wow. "Crypt of The Living Dead" for $162.50. I have that one (it sucks), although by a different fly-by-night company in the early 80s
