No. Sorry - this is commercially confidential information.

What I can confirm, though, is that the titles in question were never announced in public.

How about Fantastic Argoman for starters? One of the great, forgotten gems of demented cinema. Other action films seem muted after watching this.

It is a shame that Argoman went the way of the dark side. IIRC, I last saw him masquerading as a Senator in D'Amato's Emanuelle In America. How the mighty have fallen.

I know I'm probably pissing in the wind here, but I don't suppose Dr Jeckyll is included in that box set?

What happened to Mark Of The Devil ?
I haven't heard anything recently. I was expecting this to be announced with the latest bunch of titles.

There are still some titles they have announced via postcards etc. which haven't been officially announced for release yet, including:

Mark of the Devil
Nightmare City
Remo: Unarmed & Dangerous
Withnail & I

Some of them will probably be released in Q3. It will also be interesting to see if there are a new wave of postcards in the Q2 releases which give us some info on more upcoming titles.

Please call "Nightmare City" City Of The Walking Dead. That's what it says on the post card. If not, stop calling the other one Remo: Unarmed And Dangerous.

If Mark of the Devil is a combo then i'll definitely get that one, otherwise i'll pick up the BU dvd as i got rid of the cut UK disc a couple of years back.

Good shout, it must be about time we're due some more postcards. I'm loaded with the current wave. But it could just be because Arrow are releasing more titles than previously.

I think I remember that they confirmed 5 Dolls For An August Moon in reply to a comment on Facebook too. I would have liked something Bava in the most recent announcements actually.

I noticed The Whip And The Body on the Hollywood Classics site, which makes me think when they commented that they couldn't get the UK rights, that it was a case they've been taken by another company (probably Odeon) rather than they couldn't find the rights holders. I have just imported Whip though, so I'm not hugely bothered.

No. Not through choice, I assure you!

I've always known it as Nightmare City - plus we've already confused one member to the point of him calling it City of the Living Dead!

As for Remo, I've never seen it so actually had to search for the 'Arrow Postcard' thread to remember what it was called!
