It's all around work John, getting the length needed to go through them is always based around shifts and for the past 2 weeks the shifts have been very unkind matey 🤯🤯🤯😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I wanted to get the reviews of the 4ks out before our next video but can't get the space to record it so will have to shelve that one for the moment unfortunately John 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤩👍👍

Hi John, I had the U.K. Medium rare Blu ray editions & loved those Blu ray & dvd combo releases as they had the same U.K. Bruce Lee artwork covers shown here on the Imprint releases. Like you both said they were on the Rank video vhs releases back in the day in the video stores., I did get rid of the Medium rare editions to make room for the Arrow exclusive set. Imprint is a fast rising label & I like their releases but they can be pricey importing them from Oz. The Carry on box sets they’ve released are superb but we still haven’t got such releases here 😖”The Driver” a very good Walter Hill movie that I enjoy & have in my collection. Great releases John 😎👍

[@hallgos7319]

I still keep a copy of MR's Bruce Lee: The Master Collection purely for any exclusive extras absent from Arrow's contribution and Criterion's U.S. compilation.

[@daemon.2705]

Hell yes another cracking video with the two John's and of course my good friend John not disappointing with some awesome Bruce Lee DVD's... Nice video guys...

[@hallgos7319]

Cheers for the comment, Daemon. Hope you and the family are all doing fine. Those Lee BRs may be bettered by releases from other labels but the packaging on those UE editions remains a sight to behold. You just can't beat that vintage VHS artwork with FOF and TWOTD being my faves.😉👍

I have 4 of these titles in your video. Love "Turkey Shoot" - it's a chaotic film and very entertaining. I think "Undead" was Australia's entry into the zombie craze in early 2000's, and though I have not seen it for years, I thought it was okay. Great video guys👍👍

No surprise to find I’m most wowed by that jaw dropping outer box on the Hammer set. I went with the Shout! Factory stand-alone releases as the Mark Maddox art is beautiful and the prints and extras are excellent. As a completist though I’m going to have to seek this one out. As for the Aussie range there’s some real gems there. THIRST has a pulse pounding soundtrack and if you like vampire films with a novelty factor, this one’s for you. I love this period in David Hemmings’ pretty awesome career.

[@hallgos7319]

Much obliged for the positive remarks, Amicus.😊 Hope you and the family are all getting by fine and doing well.👍 I believe UE have a second Hammer box set available so you might like to check out this release.😉

[@AmicusScreamsandScreamsAgain]

Been on Umbrella’s website earlier mate and there’s some fantastic deluxe editions coming out. Trouble is some of them will surely get a 4K release so I haven’t dived in. Take a look if you haven’t already although I’ll defo be getting A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN as it looks incredible.

I picked up an Ozploitation movie the other day from a market seller near me, it was Harlequin on Blu Ray from 88 films staring Robert Powell. It's oop but not worth much but it's nice to have. I do like a bit of Ozploitation. My favourites being Wake in Fright, Road Games and Razorback. It's about time Razorback got the Limited Edition treatment or a 4k I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Yeah I remember that 88 version of Harlequin Gary 🤔😁😁👍👍 this series of Ozploitation blu rays is a really nice set!! Can't wait to have them on my shelves mate 😁😁 never heard of Wake in Fright! Roadgames and Razorback are classics!! Agree that we need a 4k of it over here bud 🤔😁😁👍👍

[@garydarnell3117]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies I highly recommend Wake in Fright, Eureka put it out a few years ago as part of their master's of cinema collection. It's not a horror movie but it does have some horrific scenes. Also it's got Donald Pleasance giving one of his best performances.

Hi John. Not Quite Hollywood is an essential documentary. The director Mark Hartley also directs the Patrick sequel (which is decent) and he did some other documentaries like Machete Maidens Unleashed which is mainly Roger Corman produced films made in the Philippines. He also did Electric Boogaloo the story of Cannon films. I would urge you to seek those out too. Miami Connection is amazing, one of my favorite so bad it’s entertaining films ever!! Only the Umbrella release has the CD soundtrack. The Martial Artists in Miami Connection all live together in a share house and play in a band called Dragon Sound. Writing songs about Ninjas 🥷 it will end up in your car stereo 😜

[@hallgos7319]

I have the UE double-feature BR of MMU and EB with the latter being of more interest to me as we all know Cannon's output was a staple of '80s cinema. UE's 'Cannon Classics' double-bill BRs are solid releases too and the Death Wish compilations are superb. I also own the Enter The Ninja and Revenge Of The Ninja double-bill despite the sparse extras. MC does indeed look a lot of fun and UE's edition is certainly a worthy purchase.👍
