Actually I only own Galaxina on dvd.
Both are from Crown International (I usually love Crown films).

Have a peek.
Enjoyable nonsense imo and the bd is very cheap.

Well worth it for crater lake alone. Galaxina is available on dvd in a special edition with commentary where as the blu-ray is bare bones. The trade off is the special edition version is shorter and missing some scenes, the blu-ray is the longer international cut.

Crater lake was previously available on dvd from rhino with phenomenal picture quality, the blu-ray takes that and really ups the ante picture quality-wise. Plus its a movie thats tons of fun as well.

I highly reccomend it!

P.s, theirs also a couple of spaghetti western double bills they have released. One has django on it and is unavailable while the other is still on there for a cheap price...

spagwest.jpg no idea how it looks, but going by the other releases so far it should be good.

I received some of these ones for review and bought the rest to complete the set as I couldn't just have half of them!

The Cult Classics set is a great release. Well worth a purchase.

The Django double bill bd was seemingly never released (probably due to BU having the North American rights).

Ordered the Blue Underground dvds of Mannaja: A Man Called Blade and Companeros. Really looking forward to see these along with Django Strikes Again, which should be dropping through my post box any day now.

My Spaghetti Western is growing pretty quickly a the moment.

Thanks for the forewarning, Pete. It sounds like a really shoddy, cobbled together release - amazing really, considering the amount of delays this one has received!

When it arrives, I'll give it a spin to see if it has the faults mentioned in that blog, and if so then onto eBay it will go!

It's a real shame but apparently a better release is coming. From ML's Facebook:

All will see this film done right, I assure you. From the negative (unlike this horrid 2002 HD master, complete with ridiculous judder, horrible audio issues, and again missing footage), and uncut

Maybe Dolph over at Midnight Legacy received an uncorrected pre-release version? It would also explain why this title has been delayed so many times (it was originally due out the end of last year).

For anyone looking to pick this up, better hang on and I'll let you know how my version is when it arrives (hopefully in the next couple of weeks).
