The Arrow Thread

[ReturnToZero]

Will probably buy Lady Snowblood but the rest... nah. Where is my giallos?

I've never seen Surf Nazis but I remember seeing a trailer for it a long time back which made me decide it wasn't worth buying!
However, perhaps I'll pick up the Arrow release if it's cheap enough.

I've got Class... & both releases of Combat Shock, from Troma and although I like them both, not sure if I really need another copy of each!...but...I'll probably buy them anyway just to keep my Arrow collection as complete as possible.

Hopefully though, we'll see some of the better Troma titles in future, like Mothers Day, Terror Firmer or Poultrygeist...

Just watched a VHS rip trailer that's 2:30, and I must say, it looks fantastic!!

So, to get The Commander and Codename:Wild Geese, I have to buy Who Dares Wins and The Wild Geese (neither of which I want)?

*sigh* So be It, I suppose. I really hope there is reverse artwork to make it look like they are just releases of the Italian films.


PS: truly excellent news about Combat Shock and the Snowblood flicks. Also, I have been meaning to see Class Of Nuke 'Em High again.

There won't. The reverse will be original poster artwork for WG and WDW. The back of the cover will just mention the other films as a bonus feature.

Shamefully, I haven't seen any of the Toxic Avenger films, so it would be great if Arrow are on the 'Troma train' and plan to release more Troma films, particularly the Toxic Avenger movies, Poultrygeist: Return of the Chicken Dead and something like Tromeo and Juliet.

That is awful. What a shame.

If you're going to do this reverse artwork thing at least make it practical before pandering to "original" artwork fetishists (soz, Stephen!).

In fact, I suggest a supplementary Arrowdrome double bill release of The Commander and Codename: Wild Geese. I'd rather buy that. [/selfish]

Loving the Lady Snowblood announcement, great films and a steel to boot!

Wasn't expecting to hear Troma films announced but I'm happy they have as I have been thinking about picking up a few and if Arrow plan to release more after these I will be picking them all up. It's a shame though that they are not all on blu ray.

CLASS seems a natural for Arrow and a nice steelbook of SNOWBLOOD sounds nice(got the first and it's great) if the deal with Troma works out maybe we'll see the first TOXIC and for sure Arrow should pursue MOTHER'S DAY, think TOXIC's camp violence wouldn't be a problem for the bbfc nowadays but MOTHER'S DAY grimmer sexualized sleaze might get a snip or two( have it on post VRA vhs and it's missing quite a bit.)

Anybody know why ZOMBIE FLESHEATERS isn't out in the U.K.(the AB box from around 2005 is oop I believe) or more like who has the legit U.K. rights? it can't the BT label can it?
