The Vipco Thread

There are trailers for 'Psychic Killer' and 'Shogun Assassin', there's a Vipco-style quote on the back ('The Award Winning Gross Out of All Time') and the transfer is up to Vipco's 'high' standards (ie. taken from VHS )

Did Mike Lee re-appear under the Five Star Entertainment name or did this company just take the copywrite for the film when they'd folded - does anyone know? Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere or if it's old news!!

Incidentally, if anyone needs 'King Frat' on VHS, let me know!

Five Starr are the another company owned by Mike Lee, they released a lot of Terence Hill / Bud Spencer stuff.

I need the Cult Classics vhs of King Frat

Cheers Loops, something told me you might know the answer to that

If you fancy doing a trade for the Cult Classics King Frat, just PM me with a list of what you'd swap.

Was talking with a friend earlier about the hilarious tag lines the old Vhs had under the cult classic bit.

I wondered what Vipco tagline would they have given to other popular & Legendary films if they were on their Label!!.

Halloween: Cult Classic: Pumpkin Puncher

A Nightmare on Elm St: Cult Classic Claw Crippler

The Fly: Cult Classic Mutation Mangler

House On Haunted Hill: Cult Classic Ghost Grabber

Poltergeist: Cult classic Tv Taker

I Spit On Your Grave: Cult Classic Rape revenger

Sleepaway Camp II: Cult Classic Drill Dweller

Saw V: Cult Classic Sequel Sickener

Body Bags: Cult classic Tale Twister



NY Ripper (which they did release) cult classic : Tit Twiddler

Evil Dead: Cult classic Zombie escaper

Just to let thoose who are not aware know, The Versions of Flesh Eating Mothers are different.The double Bill With GOTV is fully uncut and has extended scenes and a Minut but Noticable amount of extra Gore compared to The Singular ST release and the VHS 1993 Release.
