The guys at luminous film and video works (LFVW) put out a handful of films under this name, and well as selling many imports and obscurities on their wonderful website (sorely missed!). As well as a nice looking Cut Throats 9 they also put out The Dead are Alive, Battle of the Amazons and Amuck. The latter title is pan & scan, looks like an ok VHS, but the others look alright and even have nice menus and text info etc. So a superior bootleg, I guess. LFVW later listed hundreds of DVDr titles on their site, but soon after this seemed to disappear.
Talking of bootleg/grey market outfits, I had a soft spot for Beverly Wilshire. Nasty generic looking covers, no photos from the film and a synopsis on the back cover written by someone with English as a second language, who didn't seem to have watched the film. Nevertheless, the first company to put out many Mexican horror obscurities, Santo films, etc. in very watchable condition.
