VSA Ranked from worst to best | first 20 titles | Vinegar Syndrome | Vinegar syndrome Archive |

[@bestofboastworlds1883]

This video has totally made my day! Thanks.

[@arthouseinteriors]

Graham you are so right about The Grave. What an absolutely amazing surprise that film was. A total outlier in the VSA line, I really hope more people check it out before it goes OOP!

[@manvfilm]

I think people are seriously going to regret missing out on this one.

[@zamiadams4343]

Great episode!

[@mattymac1399]

Great vid! I own around 9 VSAs. Action USA and LA Wars are probably my faves, closely followed by Alley Cat. I would rate Champagne and Bullets higher, it's like something from another planet!

[@manvfilm]

Champagne and bullets is a weird one. It is crap, but it is highly entertaining.

[@karlleibfacher5367]

Spot on list. The only one I would have elevated, not because it's good, is Champaign and Bullets. That is my kind of bad film making. Just wow!

[@manvfilm]

Oh it is in a league of its own. It was the one film I really had trouble placing on the list.

[@goodnightcigarettes5825]

Nicely done! Overall I am with you on this. Though I still don’t love The Grave nearly as much as you do, and would put that one near the bottom. Savage Harbor would also be in my Top 5, as would Champagne and Bullets. No. 1 for me I think is Action USA, but that could easily change depending on my mood. Great work on your list!

[@CinematicDependency]

Champagne and bullets is atrocious, sir.

[@joelwoods7149]

Hellriders, Dr. Jekyll and Tiger Claws 3 are the top of the mountain!

[@standinsilence]

Ive got Alley Cat, Tiger Claws Trilogy plus 17 other newer ones. This old video and list was very interesting to watch as I am looking at probably buying a few of the OOP ones off this guy. Hellriders, Spellcaster, Necromancer, House Of Usher and Martial Law 1&2a are the ones Im particularly looking at.

[@manvfilm]

Martial law, spellcaster and necromancer were good. Martial law being the best.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Very fun buddy, thx

[@joelwoods7149]

Hey Sega, It's Phillip Jeffries!

[@joelwoods7149]

@@SegaCDUniverse In fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all...

[@jesseburchett8729]

Definitely agree with you on Dr. Jekyll being the worst. My favorites are Action USA, LA Wars, Champagne and Bullets, Martial Law, and Savage Harbor.

[@manvfilm]

The action stuff is the best. I’m eagerly awaiting the next Rothrock film!

[@roughcutretrospect7235]

Savage harbor is one of my favorites.

[@filmmad0076]

Oh nice video though i dont get VS so limited reference for me. Good idea though and would like to see your ranking for italian collection or 88 films shaw bros etc.

[@manvfilm]

Oh yeah that’s a great idea.

[@filmwolf4078]

Hi Graham. Champagne and Bullets is a jaw dropper. 😮 a vanity project per excellence of craziness. The song - The Shinmy Shake played out in real time 😳 the sex scenes are excruciating 😖 and insanely awkward. With a beer 🍺 I could only revel in its glory 🤯 Savage Dawn, Alley Cat, LA Wars are all Solid. Action USA I have on Blu-ray but also saw it at the cinema on a cult film festival 🤯 the bad guy/bounty hunter is so good in Action USA. Chewing the scenery and spitting memorable dialogue 👍

[@manvfilm]

Champagne and bullets is seriously entertaining, though not as it was intended. Those sex scenes are hilarious. I did a review for it and I pointed out how smug De hart was as he look directly into the camera at one point. Hilarious stuff.

[@justinb928]

It's a shame some of us who got in to Vinegar Syndrome late won't have the chance to own some of the older , coveted VSAs unless we shell out rent money.

[@manvfilm]

Yeah that is a shame. I got into them just as they were into their 4th or 5th VSA and evil town had already sold out. Although they found some for a sale later on.

[@Ninjastar202]

The Grave was great. TC2000 was fun. I recommend Nothing Underneath/Too beautiful To Die.

[@manvfilm]

Nothing underneath was one of my favourite releases of last year.

[@joelwoods7149]

In all seriousness, yes, The Grave is 100% the best VSA.

[@cinemaniac78]

Well, the Martial Law collection is definitely tops for me, followed closely by Alley Cat (which I really need to pick up while it is still available!) I also liked the first two Tiger Claws films. I still want a Bolo Yeung working in a food truck spin-off film. That cast of The Grave really has me intrigued, so I will look forward to checking that one out, and Action U.S.A. and L.A. Wars also look like a lot of fun. I will probably take a look as some of the others, too.

[@darrenblizzard3851]

Hmm. So it seems I've just discovered I don't own a single VSA title! That's a first, to not have at least one title from a known line from a boutique! Well I don't plan to start now but some of those films in the top 5 seem intriguing I must admit.

[@manvfilm]

The grave. Get the grave! It’s just great.

[@darrenblizzard3851]

@@manvfilm ok will do. I'll add that one to the list!

[@stephenchow79]

I think my favourite is Hellriders, just so hilariously stupid to me... least favourite is probably The House of Usher

[@paulconway384]

What was going on at the end of House of Usher? Was that a dream or did it go back in time? I was scratching my head 😂 And that was a crazy role for Donald Pleasance 😂😂

[@manvfilm]

I’ve no idea, I think they were trying to make it seem like a premonition and that the whole ordeal will be avoided. Whatever it is, it’s a baffling ending.

[@paulconway384]

@@manvfilm I think The Slayer and Nightmare City did it better 👍😂

[@stuartobrien78]

I have graduation day on vinegar syndrome not 88 films. I like 1981 slashers. Have you seen The Prowler(Rosemary's killer)? Bye Stuart.

[@manvfilm]

Hey Stuart, I have I did a review on it a while back. I keep waiting on someone putting out a new transfer of it. The Prowler (1981) Movie Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYuwepqHaLOhq8U

[@NathanSimmonsSworn]

Great picks my man! Ctuhulu Mansion is at the bottom for me, but I still love The Killing Birds as my number 1.

[@dangreen3186]

Sorry for being off topic but I have my eye on 4 Arrow 80s slasher titles which are The Burning, Pieces, Blood Rage and The Mutilator. I was wondering how you would rank them best to worst? I noticed you own them all when you did your collection tour.

[@manvfilm]

Best to worst. The burning Blood rage Pieces The mutilator

[@standinsilence]

Graham is anticipating Blood Rage 4K. Amazing film btw.

[@zachary_attackery]

Spellcaster was horrible. Adam Ant is only in the movie for like 2 minutes at the end.

[@manvfilm]

I wasn’t really there for Adam Ant, so it didn’t really bother me that he wasn’t in the film that much.
