Does anyone have any tape covers for this one?  I'll be doing up its U.S. edition soon and wanted to add some foreign sleeves.

Here's the U.K. cover

but that page will be gone soon and replaced with this (it's just that the image isn't added yet  )

I'm trying to get full sleeves, not just fronts.  Not exactly sure why yet, haha.

You're a member at pre-cert Bruce, why not ask there, someone may be able to do you a full scan

I figured I'd try here, first -- more Eurocrime enthusiasts here than anywhere else, I'd imagine!

True, but some of the folks over there have things they will never watch and just have them simply because they are pre-certs.

Added a VHS Archives post for this one:

I'd still love to get scans of the UK THE MAFIA CONTRACT tape and others.  (I've seen some pics of LA SAIGNEE tapes.)

Added THE MAFIA CONTRACT sleeve.  Still looking for someone with LA SAIGNEE or any other covers. 

Has anyone else here seen the film?  I quite like it, though it has a different feel than the usual Italian crimers; French director Mulot's stylings are definitely more in line with his fellow countrymen.

Watched the recent French Blu Ray of it, hadn't seen the film for well over 25 years, enjoyable enough but pretty average, I'm sure I enjoyed it more than I did before though.

That has become a usual occurrence to me. 

Revisiting many films in HD (on Blu-Ray), I frequently feel like I'm watching a whole new film. I mean, for years one gets used to faded, pan and scan VHS tapes (or crappy TV transmissions), and now we are watching these films looking as good (or even better) than their original theatrical showings, in their proper aspect ratio, and in a decent-sized screen.

It's easy to get a whole new appreciation for these films, and their directors.

I still have an old UK VHS release of this one, will see if I can find it.

The UK pre cert has a proper English dub. Some versions have a French dub with some English dialogue. Does the French BluRay have an English dub?
