EXTRAS: big Greek subs



Recently, I mentioned the upcoming dvd of THUNDER OF GIGANTIC SERPENT (aka Terror Serpent) from ATTACKAFANT ENTERTAINMENT and also mentioned that I was going to order a bootleg off eBay since the official dvd might still take a while to get released. I've finally received the dvd and as I expected the disc is a bootleg off a vhs and... yes, it's off a Greek video tape. LMAO. The picture quality looks like a second generation vhs dupe. I wish I could have got a dvd from that guy from Global in South Africa (as his dvd is probably off a real film print) but, oh well, at least I get to watch the film. I'm still looking forward to the official dvd, of course. It's bound to look better than this.

  2. There is a video label in South Africa called Global (and sometimes Starlite and other names) run by just one guy. He never had a web page but sold his dvd's thru eBay and direct sales. He claims they were legit releases in SA. The owner inherited a cinema that had tons of rare films, mostly westerns and Asian film, and his dvd's were sourced from 35mm and 16mm prints. He released a lot of them to dvd. I have a few of them but at some stage he got pissed off with customers and stopped selling.

    You can see some of the covers over on Jesus Manuel's blog:
