New York Ripper-You gotta love it!
 

I like it alot. But then I am a rotten misogynist:nod:

:lol::lol:

Not a fan, but if I pretend it's Fulci trying to do a twisted episode of Quincy I can tolerate it.

- I did my own detective work and worked out Captain Haggerty (Big fat Zombie on boat in ZFE) supplied the dog for the opening shot. :woot:

If you want gore ... you've got it.

Its one of those films along with Zombie Flesheaters and Inside amongst others that i will always put on when i want to see some guaranteed blood and guts. Love it. :clap:

I like it, the ending took me totally by surprise on first viewing, incredibly bleak and misanthropic.

The film also has one hell of a catchy main title theme.

The duck talk is something special,it's funny and creepy at the same time...pure genius!

See if this lot will sway your opinion!

You've heard about it and seen some sneak peeks, so here are my photos of the swanky new Yello-ray New York Ripper case, sleeve and booklet. This

Looks like a great package! The wording on the back of the cover is a bit clumsy though - ''whilst making deranged Donald Duck voice imitation". Hmm..

I nearly watched this yesterday as a matter of fact but thought I'd wait until I pick up the BD and give it my first viewing in HD

Does anyone else think Jack Hedley looks like Jeremy Clarkson?

Yeah,a bit but Jack Heldley probably wasn't a tosser!;)

Watched it for the first time today and loved it. Sometimes the duck voice made me laugh and broke the tension in a good way but other times it added to the overall weirdness of my first fulci viewing

Keep It Kreepy!

Along with Pieces and Nightmare in a Damaged Brain, this filth has a special place in my heart. Cannot wait to see this release!

I love the fact it has 01 on the spine. this will make sure that I collect all the BD's as I'm major OCD when it comes to collecting so I won't allow myself a gap in the numbers :loco:

Can't wait to have this in my hands :woot:

its such a crazed film, certainly the nastiest of the american ones LF did. you know what youre getting with that title ;);)

The thing about NYR is that before i watched it i would read reviews saying it's a bad movie. When you have watched almost everything horror-related from the 70s and 80s and you pick up one bland 00s movie after another, this is one movie that stands out. I also like the photography, the direction during the dream scene at the cinema, and the scene at the hotel-maze.

Hi all,i enjoyed the N.Y.R.
Love it or hate it,you must own it i think!

The package looks great, especially the yellow case. Can't wait for this, my first Shameless purchase. Hopefully the first of many Shameless HD releases. The price point is pretty damn amazing too, for a Blu-ray.

It is BAKA,a very nice looking pack indeed.That yellow case is a lot nicer than the standard Blu one.


A lot of NYR fans then!:cool:

Nice covers, although the blurb on the back mis-spells Antonella Fulci. It's right the first time, but the second time it's spelt 'Antonela'.

I know, I'm being pedantic, but I used to do a bit of proof-reading and now I can't help myself! I'm like Rain Man, but with words (I even spot spelling mistakes on newspaper headlines when they're used in films and flash across the screen). :lol:

I'm very much like that too. There's been many a mistake on some Arrow covers that I've had to point out before :loco:

Certainly does.

So catchy that I've used it as the opening theme for my Italian Horror music mix! Nice looking Blu there Shameless.

The whole score is brilliant.

I think the most impressive aspect of New York Ripper is the score -- much better than some of the rubber prosthetics, anyway!

This is what Mark Kermode says about NYR is his book IT'S ONLY A MOVIE:

I don't think anyone here is embarrassed praising it. I know I'm not anyway.

I was surprised by that passage when I read it in Kermode's book as I expected him to realise it was an exploitation film and treat it as such. Maybe he needs to have a private screening with Alan Jones with an in-depth discussion about the film in the bar afterwards!

Must be because he can't talk about it on daytime Beeb.....
Bottle in the holiest of places on the lunchtime review? :lol:

Maybe not at lunchtime, but how about Newsnight Review after 11 at night? They do occasionally review DVDs and BDs!

coming from a guy who lost several points with me for praising to the heaven a certain Paprika ripoff, i think embarrassment is nae a word id bandy about:lol:

None of the poll options apply to my view on the film.

It's not a very good film, in my opinion. Certainly watchable, and the self deprecating elements of humour are a nice change for gialli, but it's just a silly little film. It's boring and lacks any of the visual style, verve and panache that Fulci's best films contain. It's certainly a very long way below the likes of Don't Torture a Duckling or Lizard In A Woman's Skin.

I think it's status as both a Fulci film and as a giallo have been unfairly and unjustly elevated by its notorious standing and the foolishness of the BBFC regarding it.

Probably my favourite Fulci (of those I've seen up to now).

Ever heard this version Nos?

Another Dead Junkie - New York One More Day.

YouTube - ‪New York One More Day - Another Dead Junkie‬‏

Edit: I can't seem to get the vid to work ,but go to youtube to have a listen, it's well worth it.

Finally saw it recently - never wanted to before but I really liked it! The duck voice had me in stitches, but the violence did really upset me, I think that combination is pretty unique, makes for a memorable film.

I think the accusations of misogyny are justified, but I think it's a deliberate tactic to make it outrageous and shocking, I don't think it reflects Fulci's attitude, apart from that towards pushing the envelope! QUAAAAAAAAAACK!

Watched my Shameless "Fan Edition" DVD of "New York Ripper" yesterday and was very pleased with what I got, with the inclusion of the German language version being a particularly nice touch for me as I have a great fondness for 70's/80's German dubs.:rockon:
I'd be more than thrilled if Shameless could provide some more German language tracks as an extra in the future.:popcorn:
I also full on agree with writer Dardano Sacchetti's verdict on Tarantino in the interview 100 %!:clap::nod::woot:

May be I missed some info regarding this but out of personal interest:
Are there any plans for future Shameless releases to also feature a German audio track?:pop2:

I've passed on your query and I or Sarah should hopefully have some information about that which will then be passed on.

Cheers for that, Nos.:)
The German dubs from the 70's/80's era of (Euro) exploitation have a particular charm and feature German actors/voices who became later known for more "mainstream" work, like Jack Hedley's German voice in "NYR" who's the voice of Homer Simpson in the German language version of "The Simpsons" and David Hess in "House on the Edge of the Park" got dubbed by the actor who's most famous for dubbing Bruce Willis nowadays - just to name two of many examples!:cool:
