If you know them, their "quality" leaves something to be desired cough.

Have run out of time, but wait until I relate the tale of Gordon, The Black Pirate!!

Must admit i too thought that. There are some truly fine films on that list that i for one, and you and probably others on here certainly haven't overlooked.

The film quality is in decent condition. The film itself...well that's not so good.

It's quite sad in a film history sense but i doubt we'll ever see any Lindsey Shonteff films on dvd aside from Devil Doll and Permissive.

Noooooo! He should be charged with crimes against cinema!

It's a shame but they aren't the Shonteff films we are after.

If I'm not mistaken, is it not well ahead of its time to be one of the very first films to deal about the American involvement in the Vietnam war?

Nice one, I'm going to have to have a wee search for that.

I guess I'm going to have to delve into my videos to find my Zappers. It looks like the only way to see the films now.

It is.


If you don't include Taxi Driver, Targets, The Green Berets, Death Dream, The Visitors, Coming Home, The Deer Hunter, Go Tell the Spartans, Apocalypse Now....

Sorry, 420. Just messing with you.
