Yes an underrated effort.I bought the UK region 2 disc for about a fiver off Ebay.Also titled The Villain,but I prefer CJ.

Cactus Jack was great fun. First saw it on the cinema with Spiderman: The Dragon's Challenge.

It was hated when originally released but now it looks funnier than ever. The scene where Kirk falls off the cliff while spying on Ann Margret is pure slapstick heaven.

I quite like Arnie's quip when he sees the beer barrels on the wagon crushing a guy.. "I always said drinking and driving don't mix."

Footprints is £5.85 delivered on zavvi.co.uk at the moment!!

If anyone is interested?
-30% (I think only for items in stock?) at Subdvd till the 31st.
http://www.subdvd.com/
Probably only of interest for Swedish dvd's.

They have Njuta (same discs as AWE but with Njuta on them).
So Njuta distributes those releases in Sweden.

And Studio S!

Also of interest may be the Swedish disc of The Sweet Body of Deborah,En röst i mörkret from FDS!

Yesterday i grabbed the U.K. 3 disc deluxe edition of Casino Royale for £4 (or as part of a 5 for £15 promo) from the DVD branch of J.G. Windows in Gateshead's Metro Centre. Result!

[oaxaca]

My best bargain of late was Stuart Gordon's Edmond, brilliant film, tartan video release, tonnes of extras, £1 @ cex.

[Splatterdragon73]

J.G. Windows also have Optimum's double disc set of The Host for the same price and in the same DVD promo as CR.

Earlier this morning i snapped up Dead Birds for £1 from Morrisons and this U.K. release appears to boast an additional featurette over the R1 DVD.
