The 88 Films Thread

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Ordered ZCF-I'll wait until the others are in HMV.
Luther The Geek ain't one of my faves.

I'm not sure, but I think the only one I have seen is The Creeps, and that's only because I have the DVD in the Grindhouse Collection.

I've just watched Anthropophagous and it is absolutely amazing how it looks. The picture quality is stunning, so it is definitely worth upgrading if you hold any affection for the film.

Starring the legendary Jimmy Wang (MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE) as a seriously wronged one-limbed loner on a path of vengeance - first time viewers of this eternally iconic motion picture will doubtlessly be taken aback by its blindingly beautiful colour palette and some shocking vicious (and gory) fight sequences. Having not aged one day, it is an eternal sin that THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN still misses out on snotty, sniffy critic lists of the 'best foreign films' ever produced.

See THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN, in glorious HD, and witness the beginning of chopsocky cinema. And 88 Asia is proud to bring this endlessly entertaining classic to UK BluRay!"

Lets hope they release the superior sequel,as well as New one armed swordsman.

• The Creeps
  
• Joe Bullet

• Luther the Geek
  
• Zombie Creeping Flesh
  

The Creeps, Luther The Geek, and Joe Bullet arrived today. Noticed Luther is in the old (better) red case.

One thing i'm a little disapointed about though. I've been told that some people are complaining about the reversible covers that are basically the same as the front, just without the BBFC & 88 Films logo's, so they've decided to use a photo on the inside of The Creeps instead. I really hope this doesn't become the norm (you listening, 88?), I'd much rather have the reversible cover than a photo.

I quite like The Creeps reverse, if it's the same as the dvd.

I didn't know it was just a photo though, i thought it was the original artwork without studio blurb.

is it not the case that this was a Full Moon direct to video release and that is the original DVD box art?

Yep, apparently some people are feeling duped at them saying stuff has a reversible cover only for it to be the same image sans logos. They must despise these German reversible covers without the huge ratings too.

You know when you say 'some people'?

Do you actually mean yourself?
