Question about the upcoming Russ Meyer box

docvoltage · #1 5th October 2011, 02:16 AM

Howdy !

The latest Arrow e-newsletter shows that a "new" Russ Meyer box is coming out. I searched but couldn't find any specs in the fora, nor discussion of it. I have the old box and was wondering if the transfers differ at all ? (I do know that there are one new movie and a booklet.)

Thanks and best regards,

The Russ Meyer Collection [19 Uplifting Classics + Russ Meyer Book] DVD

As far as I'm aware, and based on the info given from Arrow on facebook, it's exactly the same content, transfers etc, just with thte extra film and the book.

I haven't seen Europe in the Raw (has it ever been released in the UK?) and reckon the booklet would be a good read.

100 pages too apparently! I cancelled my order of the old boxset as it was taking too long with stocks being low/non-existent and will patiently wait for this instead.

I don't suppose one could buy the extra movie + book separately...or maybe win it as a comp (hint hint) ? If the transfers are the same, it's hard to justify buying the box again just to get those.

That's a good point as I bought the 18 films separately, so don't have the cool box either.

I'll ask Arrow and see what they say.

Meyer certainly liked big breasts, but he was also one hell of an editor and cameraman with a great sense of the surreal, strange and ludicrous.

he's a legend, and has made some great films but he's definatley a dirty git

and theres nothing wrong with that

Now that would a be a nice gesture towards the people like me who bought the first box...
I'd gladly buy the extra movie and book.
