I couldn't find a thread so i started a new one, if there is a thread (which i should imagine there is) could you please move it across

Well, I wouldn't bet my rent money on this release not being of the dodgy kind.

This site in particular isn't exactely known for checking twice whether they're offering bootleg releases or not....It doesn't really have a good reputation on German boards....so I would wait a bit around to see whether or not the same disc will be offered at more trustworthy places, too.

[Inspector Tanzi]

Cheers for the info Peter, i've never seen this company before to be honest.

Digging through the titles, which have been banned for years in Germany, yet get their reappearance every now and then via "new" Austrian (German?) labels is like fighting your way through a cannibal populated Amazonian jungle, mate....It's a hard guess which release is legit and which is not.

Still it's great to hear all these classy 70's/80's German dubs again...plus, the likes of "Antro", "The Beyond", "City of the living Dead" etc offer very interesting music and sound alterations specifically designed for the German market.
(George Eastman's cannibal, for instance, gets one great line of "monologue", which can be only found in the German version )

It would have been a shame if they died out with their banned VHS incarnations...

Its not like you can use Amazon.de to gauge the legitimacy of these releases since most of them are FSK-18 and not sold through them.

Exactely. Most of the titles in question can't be sold at amazon.de due to the strict "youth potection" laws.
IF they offer a title like "The Beyond" though, it's almost certainly a butchered version.
These "banned"/cult/"dubious" movies get sold for the most part via Austrian shops.

An exception is the controversial release of "Four Flies...", which SUPPOSELY has now been discharged of all claims of being a bootleg. That one could be now also found on amazon.de.

Note the words 'Spectacular new hi-definition digital anamorphic widescreen transfer' - now that's what's piqued my interest. A new hi-def transfer? Possible Blu-ray? I hope so!

[Peter Neal]

Another cult title that'll have to wait for yet another upgrade till the eventual BluRay release comes along.

2 good DVD releases plus the laserdisc should do until then.

[ecc]

Too bad they couldn't have left out that music video.

[Kevin Coed]

Arrow's upcoming release has the pre-credit sequence in black & white rather than sepia toned. Is there a precedent for this? I've never seen it in b&w before so I'm assuming it's a fuck up made during transfer.

No, it's always been sepia or colour. What the fuck?
