Expensive film all round, never heard of it......

Its a very good film, for certain reasons.

I'm gonna wait for a full list of extras because the US release is quite nice.

[stepstone]

That's a pretty impressive list of extras. I've only ever seen one making of a few years back, so this new stuff is sounding good.

 

[cooey]

Great list of extras, especially with 2 versions of the movie!!

 

[blu-steel]

I wish arrow would spend a buck more to have each one individually numbered. THey can pass the costs down to us and it would be perfectly fine. I figure if it is individually numbered and its from arrow who does not do reprints in any country the value would more than double with that extra work done. Word to Arrow. Get these individually numbered and I will promote them like no tomorrow in all my stores.

 

[jdslater]

Just ordered mine from Arrow. Never used them before. Hope this release goes ok.

 

[Ricker]

Arrow titles seem to be selling fine without them being numbered. And I would rather pay a little less for a release instead of more just for a number. IMO

Yup same here

I don't understand: there are no words on emboss/deboss, limited quantity or video quality of this release. And yet you are willing to pay £17.99 for a thirty-year-old B-Movie. Why?
