SHAM001 - New York Ripper I am probably the worlds slowest collector and got my copy of new yourk ripper today and just finished watching it. when I ve had some sleep I will review it for the blog and then post up my thoughts- quack quack quack :) |
okay, I still havent got around to posting review on blog, too busy watching films- today it was the making oif cannibal holocaust (informative) , bianchi's massacre (awful), tenebrae(excellent of course) and did start to watch rabid dogs. anyhow thoughts on shameless new york ripper. I havent seen this on dvd before, last time I watched this was on VHS. The picture quality is nice, really smooth (dare I say slick or is it out with that kind of thing)- loved the animated menu, good work and graphix work for animated shameless title- again really smart. Now what I especially liked (as a bonus feature) were all those trailers!!!!! :cool: Could we have more of that kind of thing- and please don't fall into the vipco trap of showing the same four trailers before every feature. people love trailers. as to the film itself, well its fulci isn't it, the man was a legend. I will write a full review up and post it tomorrow hopefully. now to get shameless 2- phantom of death isnt it? |
finally i got to write review- http://bloodyitaliana.blogspot.com/2...pper-1982.html as much an anti video recordings act polemic as a review. hope you like. |
Only 19 seconds cut from NYR? Good that I finally stumbled over this bit of info in the intro thread, because I was just recently rewatching my old Dutch DVD to satisfy my curiosity what actually went missing from the Shameless disc...and it really didn't feel like much, certainly not 34 secs...and the Shameless pq is nicer, too.:) What adds to te NYR confusion is the AWE "restored version", which contains all the missing seconds from the UK DVD plus additional (if not really important) scenes, BUT really seems to have lost a portion of the "cartoon cinema nightmare's" throat slashing.:confused: |
I was never a fan of this since I first saw it. However the Shameless release is the best print I've seen so far in terms of quality, and the 19 secs of cuts make the scene appear even nastier than it is. |
Got to agree there Vince......the way Shameless have edited it is cool.....the original nip slicing was phony anyway,not to mention gratuitous.... |
Sorry to go off topic here, but a quick question for Herman - where could I find that making of Cannibal Holocaust? I'd love to see it. Thanks in advance. On topic, New York Ripper wouldn't be my favourite movie, but it certainly has it's moments. Sleazy as you like, especially the scene in the cafe. Grim. |

Its the same in Ferox . During the impalment scene too much of the girls breasts are shown and you can clearly see they're false and if the director would have cut 3s from that scene it would have been alot more nasty. Good Blog Herman, very enjoyable , btw, did you get that making of CH with the Special Ann. Ed.? |

The eyeball-slicing is still nasty stuff even now though. http://www.shameless-films.com/forum...ilies/ack2.gif |
