Antonio Margheriti's cool TORNADO (1983) is up on eBay at the moment. And it's not just any release mind you but the ONE to get: the fully letterboxed Japanese VHS! There is no DVD release of this and it's the only real proper VHS release in full lbx format. Ron Kristoff and Mike Monty are in it. The auction runs for another two days and so far there's only one bidder. Go here.
Went for a pretty good price.
ReplyDeleteSpiral now has The Expendables up if you need it!

That IS a good price. Some of those tapes were more expensive when, uh, the rest of us didn't already have them. LOL. Thanks for the tip, mate. I've already got it. Did you see Midnite has SOLDIER OF FORTUNE up for auction on Jap. vhs? Start bid 30 dollars. I've already got it so won't need it. xD
ReplyDeleteThe Lucky guy was me:) and I a thought it would go for far more myself. Did you snatch the Black Cobra 2 tape Explosive?
DeleteDu har en meget bra blog Jack:)
Congrats on the tape, OOP. Some of these tape have begun to go for far less than what they did a year ago.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope Explosive got BLACK COBRA 2 as I refrained from bidding because of him!!! ^_^
Tusind tak, OOP!
I certainly did get Black Cobra 2 :) What would you need two for Jack? LOL.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Tornado OOP! I have that myself, along with the matching Tiger Joe.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I made a mistake. I've got part THREE, not two. But it's not biggie as I've already got the Danish vhs of BC2 from a recent swap with a local collector. And my BC1 is also on Danish tape.
ReplyDeleteAhh okay then. Well if you get yourself a Danish part 3, I'll buy your Japanese one ;)
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say I would RATHER have the Japanese tapes!!
DeleteBtw, Simon, have you got THE LAST HUNTER on Jap. VHS? One of the Western sellers in Japan had it up for action along with TIGER JOE 1-2 years ago but I only made a bid for TJ as I though, "I've got HUNTER on DVD". Arrrghh!! How stupid. I could kick myself in the head for that now.
ReplyDeleteUP FOR AUCTION, not action. Haha. Damn keyboard.
DeleteNo I don't have that actually, but I have the Australian VHS.. and the DVD in scope is plentiful so I'll be happy to get that one day. As much as I love Japanese VHS, I'm only getting the ones that improve on the DVD release or if there isn't one at all. If I start picking up copies of City of the Living Dead on VHS because of the cover art I'll be in a world of hurt lol.
DeleteHaha. I know what you mean. But even though I have the DVD I would have loved to have had it to complete the trilogy on Japanese VHS.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys:)
ReplyDeleteNice Simon:) looking forward to your next update! Are you talking about the coconut scene in Last hunter? I got the AWE, Vipco and Dark Sky dvd, and still haven't seen it LOL. But I hear people talk about the damn coconut scene:)
