Are there any?

As far as i know all their discs were vhs rips so i imagine very few if any are even widescreen.

Got a handful of the discs. I reviewed Encounters in the Deep a while back. Proof that ultra rare does not necessarily mean good! Print is not too bad though certainly better than a lot of Alpha discs from the US.

None of them are anamorphic but there are a few which are non-anamorphic rips of R1 transfers.

I'll post a list later of all the ones I've got/had which are widescreen.

Here's another:

EL 5024 Star Warrior: PSI Soldiers From Another World aka "Locke the Superman" and "Chôjin Locke" (original title) Dir. Hiroshi Fukutomi 1984

The original film runs to 120 minutes. This DVD ends at 59 minutes with a blue screen bearing the message “The Legend Continues on Cassette 2”

It's a Manga - though you wouldn't guess it from looking at the case:

Agreed.

The Ghoul is in poor condition and cut apparently. Its from a Czech release.

You should see the quality of War of the Warlords - not only are there times when the tape roll (I think that's the term) fills the screen but in the middle of a couple of bursts there are a few frames of blue screen - as if the tape had jammed.

The film also starts with a two minute freeze frame with music playing under it; whoever was responsible for adding the opening credits obviously didn't turn up for work that day. Apart from 6 seconds of the film's title, the screen is just filled with a static shot of an explosion. It's like the end of Koyaanisqatsi - only crap.

I have 2019 After the Fall of New York and that looks very good. A decent widescreen print.

I guess it all depends where they nick their prints from.

Is it The Ghoul with Peter Cushing? If so, that's a good flick and well worthy of a proper DVD release. I used to have the VHS of it, and Legend of the Werewolf, some years back.
