Really glad I didn't get rid of that Thug City Collection, because the only copy of Big Guns I have is from said Pop Flix collection. Thanks for the heads up, Ian!

They've also got Alberto De Martino's FEMMINE INSAZIABILI! AFAIK this isn't out on DVD anywhere; I've never seen it, but I'm familiar with the score from numerous compilations.

The Wild East DVD is fine, but the release from Alan Young Pictures in Italy is just as good, IIRC, and much cheaper too.
It's a very good film, by the way, if you've not seen it before, Richard.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

The Wild East version does indeed look ok, although sadly OOP and quite pricy these days. Never seen the Alan Young version, although I also hear Vipco's version is decent, as well, and uncut. I actually don't think the version of Grindhouse Experience is that bad, either, given the comparatively cheap asking price.

Does it have an English-friendly option, subs or dub? Thanks Paul.
However, this release is the one I was thinking of, and it contains the English dub:
It's anamorphic, whereas the Wild East and Vipco releases aren't.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

Looks righteous. Not finding it at the usual places. Where did you get it from, Paul?
EDIT:

30.40 EUR = 39.5859 USD
I'll keep looking.Last edited by Richard--W; 03-02-2013, 09:02 PM."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

If you email the sellers, you may be able to press them into shipping outside Italy.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

Well done, Paul, and thank you. I didn't find that when I searched ebay.
8.50 EUR + 12. EUR postage = 20.50 EUR > 26.6944 USD.
$26.70 is cheap for ordering from Europe. Usually the disc and postage are twice as high, discouraging me from making the purchase. But this time I did it.
My Eurocrime collection is embarrassingly thin and needs to be fattened up.
Originally posted by Andrew Monroe View PostTwo things that I often think about in regard to these films:
1 - It's a shame there's not a label dedicated to them in region 1 land ala Wild East (yes they aren't always great discs but better than the alternative - nothing) - WE did a couple crime releases but that was it. There are so many of these films that haven't had an english friendly release.
2 - I would love to have a comprehensive book on the subject like the Italian Glittering Images Westerns trilogy or the FAB book Any Gun Can Play. I have that nice German hardcover that's well worth owning for the illustrations alone and an Italian only book from Bloodbuster. I can muddle through them pretty much but a heavily illustrated english review/overview text would be a treasure. The short little Blazing Magnums book is nice for what it is.
I gather Blue Underground didn't sell many of their several Eurocrime titles because they stopped releasing them. The genre may not have caught on. With blu-ray, I hope the genre gets another chance here. I want a Eurocrime collection at least as comprehensive as Paul's.Last edited by Richard--W; 03-03-2013, 01:01 PM."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

They just changed their distributors which caused a bunch of stuff to get delayed. If I remember correctly it's looking like June for this set now.
