I enjoy Margheriti's '80s war efforts and would dearly like to see 'em all (bar Commando Leopard as i already have ABUK's edition.) on U.K. DVD. How about it, Shameless? Cannibal Apocalypse also obviously occupies a healthy spot in my collection and Vengeance is pretty watchable too. I did own both 4-Front's '90s VHS release and the German X-Rated Kult DVD set of the latter film but have yet to delve into buying the relevant Spagwest in SD again. Ark Of The Sun God remains a good laugh and it'd be nice to see both this title, Yor:Hunter From The Future and Hunters Of The Golden Cobra benefitting from a British lease of life. Sounds like another job for Shameless to me.:)

Margerhetti was one of those master craftsmen who could take total rubbish amd craft something genuinelly entertaining.

My favourite is cannibal apocalypse, though I also found alien from the deep fairly entertaining.

CASTLE OF BLOOD is a very good film from Marghereti and underrated with a nice twist - the R1 Synapse is the best dvd to get
CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE is a good film though not the best of the CANNIBAL films - I have the R1 Image w/lots of extras
THE LAST HUNTER with David Warbeck, disappointing

I'm sure I saw his films on video years ago, WILD GEESE rip offs etc but I wouldn't buy them now!

Saw Codename Wild Geese recently. Lewis Collins was like an agitated rock and Klaus Kinski was dubbed by a very camp upper class Englishman, but the highlight was the model work for a car chase in a tunnel - outsanding in it's lack of attempt at being realistic - wonderfully hilariously brilliant.

...And God Said To Cain is one of the greatest of all Spaghetti Westerns and may well be my favourite of Margheriti's films now. There is not a decent quality English friendly version available, which is a crying shame. Even the non-English friendly German release (which has pretty decent picture quality) has been cropped from 'scope to 16:9, sadly.

This film NEEDS a release.

There is a Italian DVD in the correct 2.35:1 ratio but unfortunately, it's not English friendly.

I was excited today when I happened to spot Margheriti's THE SQUEEZE in HMV.

My excitement soon went when I noticed it had been released by Elstree Hill. :ohwell: (great cover though)

Thanks, P. I'll buy it anyway. Yes, I do love the film that much.
