    Excellent news, they'll do a nice job with it. Glad I didn't order the German disc.

Was that release a clothed version and there's others about or is Faceless just an anomaly in the Franco filmography?
    I'm not sure about FACELESS but his DRACULA is also sans nudity per the wishes of producer Harry Towers. I miss it in DRACULA. For some reason the lack of nudity in FACELESS never stood out to me.

    Since Full Moon is releasing some late 80s Franco I'd like to see them put out Dark Mission. Sure, it's not anywhere close to top Jess, but an official R1 release would be nice. Fall of the Eagles was no better than I remember it from years ago but still happy to add to the collection.

    Ignatius: "I'd have a hard time believing he directed any of it."

    I fully agree. Franco left an unmistakable mark on all of his films. It's not present in this film, although the film has its own merits (as you point out).

    Stephen Thrower's Flowers of Perversion echoes the credit for Franco as a co-writer for the film, but I'd have a hard time believing he directed any of it.

    According to Christophe Bier, Franco began his own Mengele film, but had a falling out with "Lesoeur" (whether the father or the son is unclear) and it was never finished. Bier does claim that Franco had a hand in the script of this one, as indicated by the D. Khunne credit.

    I just watched this a few weeks ago and it has some scattered pleasures (c'mon, Howard Vernon playing Josef Mengele!) but you need to be in a very forgiving mood. Happy to just let some anaemic slow-paced trash wash over you. Very little of the insanity you'd expect from a director like Andrea Bianchi.
