Thanks, Marc. 

I'll give it a go. 

Thanks for the heads up and the links 

Thanks for your impressions, Mark GW. 

I was unaware this release was now available in a regular keepcase.

I'll add it to my basket, the next time I order from Amazon.de. 

You're more than welcome. 

QuatermassII has just come out (literally dropped on my doormat this morning). It too, looks fantastic. Bundled with really nice extras including an English Super 8 version, english comic reproduction as a slide show, original Val Guest commentary, and the 2 German experts (who really know their stuff) give additional commentaries in both English and German!

The great thing about these Anolis releases is if there has been a problem with the video or audio of the film in a previous release (not unknown with these Hammer Blu-rays), they take the time and effort to sort them out. Apparently, there were contrast issues with QuatermassII which have now been rectified.

The Di Leos are the best, but Napoli violenta is my favourite.

Violent Rome
Violent Naples
Manhunt
Crimebusters
The Big Racket
Rabid Dogs
Gambling City
Colt 38 special squad
Stunt Squad

I only use two - either clipconverter or y2mate. Remember they're loaded with adverts/etc. You'll always have to close the first window that pops up when you click on download - and then click on download again (and it should work)
