Nikkatsu Roman Porno Catalogue Titles Coming From Synapse/Impulse

[Zaibatan]

I’m curious whether Melusine’s upcoming Pink Line is going to be grabbing the licenses on some of those, assuming it is related to Japanese films.

Some of those films would deserve a remaster and proper HD release but I think I'd still prefer them to focus on some of the thousands of pink films that have yet to be released with English subtitles.

That would be nthing short of incredible!

According to Diabolik DVD the Impulse Nikkatsu line is going out of print. I’m curious whether Melusine’s upcoming Pink Line is going to be grabbing the licenses on some of those, assuming it is related to Japanese films.

Missed a number of these releases, catching up now thanks to this thread.

From now on a lot of people will, since they have renamed it into Assault! 13th Hour. It's always been Rape! 13th Hour until now, but of course you can't sell such a title on Amazon and elsewhere nowadays... so you gotta sell the exact same movie under a different title

Too bad it's DVD only. I already bought this on DVD 15 years ago. But for those who don't have it yet, get it! Good film!

I bet (hope) the original title will be on the reverse artwork.

Agree with Takuma that this is a good film –– very good, actually. Disappointed that Synapse isn't doing a Blu because there's already a decent Japanese DVD.

Think I often confused it with Assault! Jack the Ripper.

Not sure if I've seen this one although I recognize the title and know it is one of the better known films of the genre. Think I often confused it with Assault! Jack the Ripper.

Impulse Pictures is proud to present THE NIKKATSU EROTIC FILMS COLLECTION, a continuing series of critically acclaimed classic “eroductions” designed to shock and titillate fans of Japanese erotic cinema.

One of the more sadistic entries in the Impulse Pictures Nikkatsu series, ASSAULT! 13TH HOUR pushes the sexual violence boundaries in cinema as far as possible. A violent sexual predator (named “Crimson”) takes on a young protégé, and they are both pursued by vengeful gangs of vigilantes hellbent on capturing the pair for their crimes. As the two men evade the law, they continue their violent assaults on various women of the community. Will the authorities ever catch this disgusting duo, or will they suffer a much worse fate at the hands of the gangs looking for brutal revenge?

The guy at BD.com forum said Suzuki interview and commentary are on the disc.

Great news, thanks for the confirmnation!

[Takuma]

Did any of those who already got their copies confirm that all the extras from the Discotek Media/Eastern Star DVD (Suzuki commentary and video interview) were ported over?

Apparently Star of David is shipping now if you order direct from Impulse, someone mentioned this on another forum and then linked to some people on blu-ray.com forums that supposedly already got theirs from them. It's a bit pricey from there but the shipping was free and it would be nice to get this soon rather than ~4 months from now so I just ordered one.

Great news! Thanks.

[VinceP]

Have they given a release date for Star of David yet?

October 5th.
