I was given a dvd of Robot Jox yesterday afternoon.

There's supposedly a spaghetti western box set but that's not listed as the others above are all US releases and there's been no leaks regarding UK releases yet.

Thanks to the OP on Blu-ray.com for the leaks.

To be fair Arena really needed an upgrade in picture quality from Shouts release.

But yeah tbh only dolls and robot jox r the only ones worth watching in that set.
Hope someday someone will release Enemy Territory, best charles band production that's not called trancers or based on lovecraft.

Reminds me that ballyhoo still haven't released that Empire pictures documentary they kickstarted years ago. Right now I don't care if they find extra footage/previous person now available for interview. Just release it already!

It's from the only surviving 35mm print so it will remain to be seen if it's any better?

I thought that might be the case as there's been no indication that 101's rights had lapsed for Dolls

It looks like it is going under the overall title of 'Enter the Video Store: Empire of Screams'

CAD$98.98 from Unobstructed View

Here is a better picture of the packaging...


...the contents...


...and the reverse artwork

It looks like the design is targetting nostalgia for 80s style Mom N' Pop video stores in America. I think the artwork could have been better but the identification of the target demographic is very clever.

The boxed set looks beautiful, but the only two I intednd to buy are Dungeonmaster and Robot Jox, the latter being a favourite of mine.

Their VHS releases (as Full Moon) in the 1990s included a series of 20 minute promos/making of called "Videozone" for most movies, which were quite interesting, and the only way to see any behind-the-scenes materials at the time, but I don't see any of those in the list of extras. I have a few of them that I found floating around the web a long time ago, when VHSrips were still a thing

Side note: Speaking of Empire, I am still not over the fact that the Zone Troopers blu-ray has the cropped/widescreen version, whereas the VHS edition had the open matte version (which I still have in coff coff digital form. for science!). Not even as an extra. Maybe some day.

As far as I'm aware none of the empire films had video zone features.

As a side note hoping this empire release might mean a cannon boost in the future. There's still loads not been re-released yet.
