I put in a PAL DVD of Tobruk right after, and it played fine. Got it from the same vendor. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

(04/03/08 1:43 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Amoeba SF was blowing out a bunch of R2/PAL DVDs this week. Picked up Severance, Faster Pussycat...Kill! Kill! (never seen it) and a 2-Disc set of Battle Royale (for $5.00). The big find for me was a widescreen MGM copy of Death Rides a Horse. The prices were dirt cheap. They did have a PAL DVD of Island of Terror for $7.99, but I was already past my spending limit. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

Reminds me of those Golden Books we used to get as kids...except with a hunchback that dismembers bodies and such... Also, I very, very highly recommend the Mondo Macabro UK dvd of DR. JEKYLL VS THE WEREWOLF, another wonderful Naschy film directed with great style by Leon Klimovsky. A nicely done presentation. Ben

I was VERY glad to find it, considering the only versions you can get stateside are bad PD versions. It's really annoying that that version is not available in the U.S. Likewise, The Big Gundown.

You should check to see if they have any under-the-bin "red tag" imports. I've found some great bargains down there. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

Feel free to PM me if you would rather not say here. Thanks, Mark Mark, I got them from an eBay seller called ultimate collectibles. I'm taking a chance that the quality is decent. This seller keeps putting copies up. I bid on several copies, not winning, so he finally offered me one with a $3.99 buy it now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

(04/14/08 12:53 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey, here is a reason to go region-free. I just sold my domestic, OOP, LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD DVD, because there is a superior PAL import. It sold for $179.00 and the import is on sale for $10. Minus the $10 for the import I could have bought a decent region-free player to go with it if I didn't already have one. Win-win.

Man that's insane, I guess some people are hard up for certain films that they are willing to pay such high prices. Most I've ever spent on a single DVD was the previously mention Region 2 disc of Paul Naschy's HUNCHBACK OF MORGUE which cost me somewhere around $45 to $50. Luis

For $150 you can have the movie, the player, and $350 left over, that can buy ya a lot of imports.
