Somewhere scattered around my easily unnavigatable film collection I've got the wrongly-issued uncut Maverick Directors VHS (together with Performance, The Devils and a few others).

I still think it's Ferrara's best film.

I thought Driller to be better, to me it was more gritty , dark and nilhilistic (Forgive spelling)

Yeah I agree about Driller Killer being his best work. The re-make starring Davis Hess is out soon.

I still find Driller Killer one of the worst & dullest of the video nasties.

I quite enjoyed Bad Lieutenant in parts, though Keitel's bleating eventually made me want to throw a shoe at him.

I liked the tone of Driller Killer, Combat shock is very similar in tone, sortta depressing but you get drawn in to this guys life.
I think VIPCO made Driller out to be a something it wasn't by the box artwork which is why so many people are split on the film.

David Hess in a remake.? I didn't know it was being remade, anymore info Angel.?

I agree about Keitel in BL, Vincecenzo.

Only what it says here, Vipco.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1049397/

Says there that it has been awarded an 18 rating. I'd be surprised if the BBFC have even seen the film yet.
