I've snapped up a fair few Mill Creek Entertainment, Videoasia and Pop Flix spagwest compilations recently. Yeah, yeah i know the audio and video quality can be questionable on these releases but i was aware of this when i ordered 'em so sue me! So far i've only managed to make it through two of the titles in PF's Dead Or Alive collection, these being They Call Me Hallelujah and The Moment To Kill both starring the veteran George Hilton. Personally, i enjoyed both these outings with the former film being the most entertaining imo and boasting the better PQ, although i have reason to believe the particular print in question may be cut.

Yours truly finally finished checking out the rest of PF's Dead Or Alive spagwest set recently and this release is a winner for such a low price online imo. However, although the PQ on Black Killer was good, please be warned my copy had an all-too noticable visual flaw in that whenever a character walks around onscreen they do so with an awful stilted, 'jerky' sorta motion that made the movie unwatchable imo. Whether i have a defective disc or there's some kinda encoding error evident i'm not too sure. The other films in the compilaton were all fine.

Yours truly recently completed scrutinising Pop Flix's Dead Or Alive spagwest collection and imo this set remains a decent purchase for such a pocket-friendly price. However, although the transfer on Black Killer is nice, please take heed my copy suffers from an all-too evident PQ flaw in that whenever a character walks around onscreen they move with an awful stiff, 'jerky' sorta motion that made watching the movie unpalatable for me. I'm unsure if i have a problematic DVD or whether there's some kinda encoding error apparent i can't say. The other films in the compilation were all fine.

Just checked mine.

That's on the master from the look of it. A low quality standards conversion (PAL to NTSC) then an aspect ratio converter (possibly, to bodge up an anamorphic DVD from a non-anamorphic source tape). Then even further reduction so three films can be crammed onto a single DVD (all three films and menus take up 7½ gigabytes, Black Killer taking up nearly 3 of those). The waxy lack of detail and that the jerky artifacting is occasional and not constant (especially apparent on slo-mo shots) are giveaways of excessive and poor conversion processing from source to final disk, even at the relatively high file size.

It's amazing it looks as good as it does!
