Thanks for the info Marc.

As I asked earlier Marc,did Nucleus never have any joy with Ms.45?

Andy, no doubt you're aware of it but there's a very good French DVD, barebones but English friendly and removable subs...

MS. 45 at Amazon FR

Yeah bought it when it first came out Wes,but I remember Mr Morris talking about the rights for a UK release.
It'd be nice to see this get an uncut outing on these shores.

Warner or whoever owns it though prices will no doubt be madness or refuse to license it out....:crazy:

Yeah, I'm thinking of the old Warners Angel of Vengeance clamshell box... For a major film maker, Abel Ferrara is underappreciated on DVD. The last time I checked his main body of work was scattered across a rag-tag bunch of below-the-rader budget releases... For what it's worth I think Driller Killer is a classic of New York grunge film making.

Yeah I'm tempted to pick up this Raro release.


The Driller Killer: Amazon.it: Carolyn Marz, Baybi Day, Harry Schultz, Alan Wynroth, Abel Ferrara: Film e TV

I wonder could the film look any better that say the Cult Epics disc ? Ferrara once described Driller Killer as "scratchings on the cave wall", but I think the film is a masterwork, and stands well apart from fellow jailbirds on the Nasties list...

I recently bought the German DVD of Deranged from Amazon, while drunk I should add, and it's fantastic!

Wow, I thought this DVD was well out of print, or at least it was at one stage. Rik, do you remember if this one has the brain-scooping scene missing from the MGM ?

It does contain that scene, although in poorer quality to the rest of the print. Still available from Amazon for £16.66 here

Tremendous find Rik, many thanks ! A great winter film I think...

No problem, that's the cheapest I've found it, usually goes for well over £30 on ebay these days

I had that German release, picked it up for £15 from a local indie DVD shop.

Steering this back to Nucleus, any fans of Death Ship ? I've always wanted to see this one but was always a little pricey.

The Nucleus disc is excellent. A cracking ghost story.

Well worth picking up. It has a commentary, a 42 minute doc, deleted scenes, uncensored scenes + much more.

Yeah,another winner.

Is there any plans to release a follow-up to The Video Nasties set featuring the ones listed in Section 3, Marc? IMO, it is one of the best DVD releases ever and a second one would be an instant purchase for me.

Btw, you wouldn't know who currently owns the rights to The Mad Foxes?

What's the 3rd section?

Thanks for that, Rik! You've saved me having to post all those titles. :cool:

Now there's nice long list of titles I'm going to look up now!
Would nice if some people made websites or documentaries about this list.

?

Mr. 420 mixed you and Wes up, thats all.

Cheers for not calling me a dithering idiot, Demi. :)

This is a good place to begin...

DPP Section 3 titles

Seriously. The Thing was on that list?! What a nutty time to be a film collector.

Even something like Martin (?)

I remember during the height of the James Bulger scare in the mid-90's, one MP (whose name I can't recall right now) seriously suggested that all 18-cert films be removed from the video shops, until a collegue suggested this would have to include films like The Godfather, where upon the MP quietly withdrew his suggestion...

I think his name was David Alton.

I think you're right Pete, I thought it was Mellor, but I wouldn't be that clued in on British MPs. Anyway, a crazy, hysterical state of affairs...

I knew that Section 3 list would derail this thread somewhat so back to Nucleus business. I think one of the best things about the Video Nasties set (and I gushingly mentioned her in my review) is Patricia MacCormack who gives excellent intelligent commentary on her selection of films. Does she appear on any other DVD extras, she's really terrific !

We're interviewing her on Saturday for volume 2. She can also be seen on the BFI's release of Maîtresse, amongst other releases.

I really regret leaking that Section 3 list when I did - it ruins the surprise of Nasties Volume 2. Before we stumbled upon it, it was unknown amongst fans and collectors.

Is there really going to be a nasties 2?

Yes, as I already said, we're working on it now.

She's on the extras for Shameless' Cannibal Holocaust and Nouveaux's Suspiria too I think.

We look forward to it Marc, thanks for the heads up on the BFI disc !

Many thanks Paul !

Sorry, I just have trouble sometime on the Internet trying to tell what could be sarcasm or not.

Just checking :nod:

Anyway, from the look of that list, the set will be awesome!

We have a Video Nasties Facebook page, so if you want to be kept in the loop sign up to it. --> Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide

Wow! That's fantastic news, Marc! I was hoping that you may of said that you were looking into it, but to see that it's already underway is drool-inducing.

To go back to my previous post (And to sound like a stuck record), do you know if Edwin C Dietrich still retains the rights to The Mad Foxes? Thank you.

Alton never backed down, though. He wanted to introduce legislation that nothing higher than a 15 cert. could be made available to the public. Alton had the backing of The Sun (owned by Murdoch) until Alton started saying that Sky (also owned by Murdoch) should be more heavily regulated, whereupon The Sun suddenly dropped the story altogether - save for one last lie. The Sun claimed that Child's Play 3 had been banned and that they (The Sun) had won. Just to tie up the news story. But it never was banned, that headline was a lie (what a surprise). Anyway, I believe Alton was bestowed with honours from places like the Catholic Church, of which he is a member. Basically he was paid off in kind in order to shut him up.

Interestingly, at this time, Blockbuster also stated that they wanted to become more family-orientated and also suggested that they would be happy to stock nothing higher than a 15. Certainly glad that never happened. I guess this is why I've never been a big fan of Blockbuster, together with that maniac David Alton they nearly ruined the UK home video scene.

Incredible !
