That's already announced though isn't it. I thought the teasers were for forthcoming as yet unannounced films. I do know he wears a red tie in Cross Plot, during the demonstration scenes and more.

I saw other pics from Gold that looked very similar, plus Crossplot doesn't have that aspect ratio.

You're absolutely right. Roger Moore wears a red tie throughout most of Crossplot, and you can see for yourself as the film is currently available to watch on YouTube.

Stephen@Cult Labs 8th February 2024 02:17 PM

Unless Crossplot has been cropped to 2.35:1, It's Gold.

Stephen@Cult Labs 8th February 2024 02:27 PM

Just checked part of the film on youtube. Definitely Gold. It's from a scene with Roger in Bradford Dillman's office.

Apologies, my mistake, and you are completely correct. The screenshot was taken from this point in the film:

Beneath The Living... Beyond The Dead... From The Depths of Hell's Ocean! In the dark days of World War II, the Nazi High Command ordered its scientists to create a top secret race of indestructible zombie storm troopers - un-living, unfeeling, unstoppable monstrosities that killed with their bare hands. They were known as The Death Corps. No member of this horrific SS unit was ever captured by the Allied Forces - and, somewhere off the coast of Florida, they have survived... Peter Cushing (STAR WARS), Brooke Adams (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS) and John Carradine (THE BOOGEY MAN) star in this suspenseful and genuinely creepy shocker co-written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II). One of the great horror "sleepers" of the 1970s, SHOCK WAVES has been freshly transferred and fully restored in High Definition from the only known surviving materials!

When soldiers stationed in the local community are mauled to death in the local woods, a wild cat is thought to be the culprit. However, two sisters, begin to suspect that their brother who has been locked in their cellar for 30 years may be responsible. This creepy early 70s horror starring Beryl Reid (Psychomania) and Flora Robson (Eye of the Devil, Fragment of Fear) carries a brooding tension that is both claustrophobic and horrible. A bonafide cult classic.

I'm also going to get all three of them because they are either films I want to own or ones I'm keen to see for the first time.

As such, I'm pleased 88 Films are continuing with the 88 Vault series because the previous releases have been interesting titles, a good mix of films I had never seen before and others I was keen to add to my collection or upgrade from inferior releases.

'Fearless Hyena 2' (1983) - Blu-Ray pre-order available from Amazon UK - £17:00

Release date: April 22

"By the early 1980s, Jackie Chan’s popularity made him box-office gold. Thus when, midway through filming the sequel to his hit The Fearless Hyena, Chan walked off the production to defect to rival studio Golden Harvest, producer Lo Wei opted to complete the film with the help of stunt doubles and recycled footage. The result — the tale of two lazy cousins (Chan and Austin Wai Tin-chi) who join forces to avenge the deaths of their fathers — may not be pure Chan, but there are plenty of loony pleasures (including our hero fighting an adversary with his feet!) to be had.

It seems that Earth’s newest inhabitants hitched a ride on the meteorite and are quickly making themselves at home.

Government scientist Allison Reed (Moore) gets involved and goes head to head with the local scientific duo. But when the alien cells begin evolving at the speed of sound and the monstrous creatures they become threaten the future of the human race, they find themselves playing on the same team.

Zombi 3 and Zombi 4 one can only hope :lol: :rockon:
It'll be something boring instead though.

will graham 9th February 2024 12:06 AM

Vertical limit isn't really a good film but kinda watchable when u need to switch your brain off.
Kinda fun to spot all the cult actors ("oh that one was in x files, that one was in attack of the clones and that one was in ballykissangel!")
While not an interesting film, it would have been interesting to have some new features about how it was made, but totally get not bothering with it.
Kinda don't help that Martin Campbell is doing a renny harlin and saying yes to just about anything the major b movie independent companies are currently making.

Actually wouldn't say no to some more burt Reynolds flicks.

I'm pretty sure the photo was Gold.

Yes, what i meant was the photo they used as a teaser for an upcoming Moore film wasn't from the one that was actually getting announced.

Sorry if it didn't come across that way.

It would have been nice to get the The Body Stealers uncut but judging by the PG certificate that is not going to happen.

I guess it's more than likely the uncut version doesn't exist anymore?

According to a post elsewhere 88 said it is uncut.

Quote:

Someone on on Facebook in a reply to the above pic post from 88 Films asked the following in regards to The Body Stealers:


Any chance you could source the uncut scenes from The Body Stealers? Originally released as an X but quickly withdrawn and re-released with a cut A certificate, the Lorna Wilde skinny dip and beach sex scene between Wilde and Parrick Allen are still trimmed from all released versions. Looks like a PG cert on your sleeve so guessing not but would love to have it complete for once!

& 88's reply to the above quote was:


we did 🙂

Rob4 10th February 2024 01:23 PM

That sounds positive.

Maybe the artwork is just a mock-up or perhaps what was X in 1969 is PG now :lol:

A slight bit of nudity probably could pass as PG now. They gave anything an X back in the day.

Perfect Friday which has a fair bit of Ursula Andress nudity is only rated 12 on the Network Blu-ray.

Do Tigon still own The Creeping Flesh in the UK? It would be a real coup for 88 if they could get a bells and whistles release of that one.

Also hope they re-release the bare bones Tigon's that Screenbound released - I'd definitely upgrade.

So far they've released or are about to release the contents of the old Tigon Anchor Bay coffin box set.

I doubt they'd come close to bettering Screenbound's releases of Virgin Witch and Haunted House of Horror also present in the coffin set.

Fist of legend is arguably jets li's best film (once upon a time in China for me).

Hannie caulder is for me tigons best work.

I'm sorry but I really hated body stealers. It was just.....terrible.

It features the Dalek saucer from Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150AD so can't be all bad. :lol:

I don't mind it to be honest. I've owned the Odeon dvd for years and would happily upgrade it to Blu.

As for Tigon's best film? A toss up between Witchfinder General and Blood on Satan's Claw. Both are 9/10 films for me.

I also really rate Neither the Sea Nor the Sand, The Creeping Flesh and The Blood Beast Terror.

Rob4 11th February 2024 05:56 PM

No preorder for The Body Stealers bluray on Amazon? Just the DVD.

I don't really rate The Body Stealers too highly either, but to be honest, there are worse ways to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon...

I read somewhere that The Creeping Flesh, although a Tigon production, won't get a UK release for the same reasons that the films from the Tyburn libary won't be given UK releases. I believe that such issues have no bearing at all in territories outside the UK, which explains why Mill Creek released The Creeping Flesh on Blu-ray along with another couple of films on the same disc a few years ago.

J Harker 12th February 2024 08:35 PM

If I recall director Freddie Francis's son is in some way responsible for rights issues regarding The Creeping Flesh here in the UK
