Very excited about completing "The Road" films on Blu-ray. I hope "The Paleface" finds it's way on Blu soon, since both the sequel and remake have been released.

Can you release them all in a box set? I’d love to own them all in a nice package.

I have the DVD from France but it could use a spiffed up HD transfer and I would certainly upgrade.

A bit of trivia about Revolt of the Slaves: Rhonda Fleming's love interest, Ontario-born Lang Jeffries, actually went on to be married to Fleming for all of about 18 months (1960-62).
But the most interesting thing about him (IMHO) -- according to the IMDb posting on him -- was that he was said to have been one of only three survivors out of 177 soldiers in his unit who landed at Inchon in fall 1951.
His first break was the 1958-60 US TV series Rescue 8, and he went on to have a busy career starring in Eurospy movies throughout the mid-to-late '60s. His career petered out in the '70s and he died at a young 57.
A credible actor, he deserved better roles.
Anyway, kudos as always to the good folks at KL for unearthing rarities like these.

Coming December 4th on DVD and Blu-ray!
Brand New HD Master from a 4K Scan of the Original Camera Negative!
National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982) with optional English subtitles
• NEW Interview with star Gerrit Graham
• NEW Audio Commentary with director Michael Miller and stunt coordinator Dean Raphael Ferrandini moderated by Filmmaker Douglas Hosdale
• KLSC Trailers
Color 85 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
From National Lampoon and screenwriter John Hughes (Weird Science, National Lampoon’s Vacation) comes this very funny teen horror parody set in the hallowed halls of a boarded-up high school. It's been 10 years since Lizzie Borden High School's class of '72 graduated, and everyone—the preppies, the hippies and the in-crowd—has returned to reminisce over good times past. But classmate Walter Baylor has returned too—with a vengeance. While the rest of the gang is misbehaving at its alma mater, Walter, who was a misunderstood freak then and a certified psychopath now, is still not over a prank played on him a decade ago and out to wreak havoc of a different sort. Roger Corman alumnus Michael Miller (Silent Rage, Jackson County Jail) directed the hilarious cast that includes Gerrit Graham (Used Cars), Michael Lerner (Barton Fink), Miriam Flynn (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation), Stephen Furst (Up the Creek), Zane Buzby (Up in Smoke), Art Evans (Die Hard 2: Die Harder), Misty Rowe (TV’s When Things Were Rotten), Blackie Dammett (Doctor Detroit), Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma from the Train) with soap opera legend Jacklyn Zeman (General Hospital) and Rock-n-Roll icon Chuck Berry. National Lampoon’s Class Reunion will make you scream and shake... with laughter!
