No, i've noticed that 88 Films aren't the best at saying what's on or how their discs are packaged - booklets, posters, art cards etc.

Okay, so the Blu ray of The Sex Thief in The Saucy 70s set.
Yes, there are a few audio issues. The soundtrack on occasion seems to go at a lower level and then rises to above that and then seems to level out to normal again. I think about three times this is noticable.

"Coming soon with a brand new 2K restoration exclusive to this release, Battle Creek Brawl aka The Big Brawl (1980)

Extras and Specs TBC but it will feature vastly improved audio as well as PQ

Jackie Chan arrived on American soil with hopes of becoming a superstar in the West and his first ever Hollywood project as a leading man certainly provided him with a notable director in Robert Clouse, the legendary director who took Bruce Lee to the next level with ENTER THE DRAGON (1973). With BATTLE CREEK BRAWL (1980), Director Clouse achieved it, this is prime Jackie - as our man successfully takes on the mafia and romances the gorgeous Playboy cover girl Kristine DeBell. A classic bout of chopsocky on American soil, BATTLE CREEK BRAWL is ready to punch its way into your collection in this new 2K restoration!"

Yes. It's been announced a while. Well before Christmas.

They called it Bava's greatest film or some other rubbish like that.

Is it that bad Dem? I though A Bay Of Blood was called Bava's greatest film.

No it's not a bad film but it's nowhere near Bava's best. Doesn't come close to the likes of Kill, Baby... Kill!, Blood and Black Lace, Black Sunday, The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Planet of the Vampires, Danger: Diabolik or Five Dolls for an August Moon.
