The Eighties Sci-Fi Thread.

I love LIFEFORCE and not just for a naked Mathilda May .The whole film is great in it's cheesiness and the way it takes itself so seriously.The film is really in need to of a remastered anamorphic dvd.It looks horrible blown up on a widescreen tv

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

LIFEFORCE is classic.It has it all,nudity,gore,violence.
Pity someone couldn't do it justice on DVD.
What's MGM all about?
Where did they get that shitty artwork from?

Here's what's required.....

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

The artwork on the dvd is one of the posters.It is rubbish isn't it.Oooooooo a big eye and the earth! You're right Reaps,Should have used that art from the vhs cover.I have the Japanese MGM dvd which has better art than the European/U.S. dvds.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Now,that's better.
Pity it's so bloody expensive importing from the land of the rising sun.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Sure is! I can't remember how much it cost me but it was a lot more than here.It's even worse when you get a bill for import tax weeks after your dvds arrive.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Been there done that mate.Had to send a cheque....
And the HALLOWEEN III disc was cut to ribbons!

The love of good artwork is an expensive hobby....

[pedromonkey]

that japanese cover is better but reaps has it for me, this would look awedsome on shameless, but i think some of mr melton's art would look sweet on an arrow release....

I've always liked The Quiet Earth (1985). Interesting little film with some truly beautiful scenes - particularly the ending.

Ugh, yeah. I got the MGM release fairly recently and though the artwork is a bit lacklustre it was the shioddy, non-anamorphic print used that got my goat. Sure it was the complete Euro cut (which was nice) but what a mess it looked! And once it was zoomed up to 16:9....sheesh!

Definitely needs a tarting up and re-release.

Wow, I haven't thought about that flick for many years! I really liked it as I remember.

Hmmmm...the Ancor Bay Disk is eminently affordable...
