They're a treasure trove for quotes. Also great that Joe Spinell pops up a couple of times.

Also makes it look fairly innocuous

An interesting movie, not got round to seeing Drum yet but will do.

My copy of Blow Out was "dispatched" today, so hopefully that'll turn up sometime this week.
Moving in a couple of weeks, so I am hesitant to order anything else. Guess I'll have to go into an actual shop for my film fix.

Yeah, they went slighly more the 'Respectable Studio 'based on a novel' Historical Movie' route, rather than 'BLOODY SLAVE-ON-SLAVE FIGHTS TO THE DEATH and FOLK BOILED ALIVE IN A BIG POT!!!!' route . . .

You should be on their payroll, your description pretty much nailed it

Any idea if the UK DVD of Drum is uncut?

Someone remarked this about the film:

"Near porno film disguised as slavery drama. You people need to be a cravin' fo' some celluloid trash in heat in order to sit through this highly sick and very entertaining movie. not to be confused with Alex Haley's tame Roots. The sequel is called "Drum," and stars boxer Ken Norton in a near porno stint."

It's a pretty jaw dropping movie but hardly pornographic. Wonder how many people who've recently seen Django Unchained have seen it.
