WadeM, I've just read a Grindhouse Release press release that talks about the renewal of the company and their extensive plans which include bringing THE SWIMMER and THE BIG GUNDOWN blu-rays to the USA next year. Sounds definite. But you have at least a year to wait. I'm looking for Ferdinando...

I could be wrong, but September may be too long to wait. Grindhouse Releasing has CORRUPTION (1968) and AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISREAL (1972) slated for blu-ray release September 10, 2013. It would be unlike them to release two more films in the same year. Their last DVD was in 2009, they had one...

Has Grindhouse Releasing announced a release date for their blu-ray of THE BIG GUNDOWN ? I'm glad they are back in business, but I doubt if their blu-ray will be competitive. I wouldn't wait too long to get the German edition. It gets rave reviews everywhere and the film's reputation is on the...

If you like Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, you'll love the German blu-rays of Sergio Sollima's THE BIG GUNDOWN (1966) and Guilo Petroni's TEPEPA (1969). Both transfers are razor sharp and infinitely detailed. Widescreen, anamorphic, uncut, English friendly and playable on American players...

THE MERCENARY (1972) is one of the most highly regarded spaghetti westerns among spaghetti western aficionados, and I can see why. It is a model of craftsmanship, extremely well directed and photographed, performed with style and grace by Franco Nero, Jack Palance and yes Tony Musante. It has a...

Your wish has been granted: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AMQGF60/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Each film is a widescreen, anamorphic, uncut, English dub on its own disc. The transfers are fine, and obviously licensed from the best, authorized source; nothing to complain...

Incidentally, HANGING FOR DJANGO is not actually a sequel to DJANGO (1966). Better known as NO ROOM TO DIE, it did not become a Django tie-in until it was dubbed into English. It's included in the aforementioned BEST OF THE SPAGHETTI WESTERNS set.

Raro announced Sergio Garrone's HANGING FOR DJANGO (Una lunga fila di croci, 1969) for release July 23, in both blu-ray and DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Hanging-Django-lunga-croci-Blu-ray/dp/B00CL1SPYE/ref=tmm_blu_title_0

They keep having delays. I'm curious to see what those films are like. They are all new to me.

July 16th:

The Tramplers and Nest of Vipers / Tails You Lose will be released December 12. The two best places to buy them are at the Wild East website: http://www.wildeast.net/ and amazon. Diabolik also carries the Wild East releases: http://www.diabolikdvd.com/

Our friends at Wild East are fans of Craig Hill and wanted to source out more of his films for DVD. I appreciate that fact. I also appreciate that THE DIRTY FIFTEEN (1968) and AND THE CROWS WILL DIG YOU GRAVE (1972) are extremely scarce and hard to come by. However, the picture quality of THE...

Wild East announced two new DVD's on their website today, due November 6, 2012: GLI UOMINI DAL PASSO PESANTE (1965) aka THE TRAMPLERS Directed by Albert Band and Mario Sequi. Music by Angelo Francesco Lavagnino. With Joseph Cotten, Gordon Scott, James Mitchum, Ilaria Occhini, Franco Nero...

Got an email from Wild East announcing this double-feature has been delayed to "about September 22nd". I forget why I bought it. Why doesn't Wild East release a special edition of Cemetery Without Crosses (1969)?

Check out this interview with Eric Mache, Vice President and co-founder of Wild East Productions Inc.: http://bloodbrothersfilmreviews.blogspot.com/p/aka-titles.html Wild East homepage: http://184.172.176.43/~wildeast/ I wish they'd re-issue DAY OF ANGER, one of their first DVDs which seems...

You took the words right out of my mouth. The more Wild East double-features I watch the lower my opinion of spaghetti westerns. They spend a lot of money sourcing out the best elements and cleaning up the worst films they can find. I enjoy spaghetti westerns, even the bad ones, the way I...

I want to recommend CIMITERO SENZA CROCI (Cemetery Without Crosses, aka The Gun and the Rope) (France, 1969) directed by Robert Hossein and co-starring Hossien and Michele Mercier. Hossein was best known as an actor, but he had written and directed a number of French dramas in the 1960s. He also...

Why?Why would Wild East release a French transfer when they already have the best transfer from MGM?You live in the USA, why not just buy the Wild East DVD?The Wild East DVD of Death Rides a Horse renders the region 2 DVD's from the U.K. and France obsolete, at least insofar as USA customers are...

Wild East got the same transfer of Death Rides a Horse as the region 2 MGM disc. There is no difference. They are exactly the same, except Wild East is in NTSC which means it isn't sped-up 4% which in turn means the audio is heard at the proper pitch instead of at a high pitch. Makes a BIG...

I stumbled across a blog that broke each film down in the Timeless-Media set and compared it to European DVDs that were longer. I'll see if I can find it again and post the link here.

dale3, You mention CultCine. Which titles of theirs' do you recommend? I've been thinking of buying Cemetery Without Crosses, Return of Ringo, Dead Men Ride, Day of Anger, and several others. The Timeless Media Group's 10 DVD set consists of shortened, cut versions, and not always in the...

I second the recommendation for the Rider On the Rain / Farewell Friend double-feature, two excellent French crime films. By the way have you guys seen this http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/314225/ismael-rodr-guez-s-pancho-villa-trilogy-highly-recommended

Wild East presses limited editions of only 1,000 and then the DVD becomes either unobtainable or insanely pricey real fast. At least three Wild East DVD's I bought as recently as last March have gone out of print. The transfers, generally, are very good to excellent, mostly excellent. Many...
