Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

I was looking around and noticed that the Anchor bay version is OOP and with Blue Underground releasing old AB stuff I wondered if this might be on the schedule yet, also anyone else think it would be cool if BU could get with Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez and make the Double Feature that they cut for the actors on Grindhouse to watch an official release? On a side note does anyone know what trailers were used by QT between Zombi & Torso or if any were shown befor the features

I'd say chances are pretty good considering it seems like all BU does is release old AB titles these days. If it does get re-issued, don't expect anything more than a clear case and whatever specs the AB disc had. BU doesn't do anything to improve old releases, they just repackage.

you do know that the AB cut is Torso is incomplete, an Another World Entertainment import is the full uncut version.

what region is that Another World Entertainment version? i can't find any info on it.

PAL region 0

here's Xploited Cinema's listing:

Torso (Uncut AWE release)

Be careful of what you buy, though. Xploitedcinema says that AWE release is identical to the X-Rated Cult release, which is NON-anamorphic (even though they list this AWE as 16:9). By "uncut", they only mean one scene was missing off the AB release...at the beginning, and I don't think it has any gore or nudity. Plus the parts in Italian language only are not subbed in English.

Awesome news!

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

well shit, of course i just bought the UK release of TORSO last month. oh well.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

I'll pass on Torso since I'm sure it's a clone of the AB disc, but I never got 10th Victim so I'm all over that shit.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Same here, missed it first time. I like that cover too.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Ordered it last week, but it was only around $9-10 so I'm fine with it.

Great news for those who don't have the movie yet.

For anyone curious about the Shameless UK release of Torso:

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

I have the old AB disc and it's anamorphic so it must be just a clone with no new features.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

I'll probably check both of them out.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

They both will be mine. Bring on more AB clones!

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

fixed.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

AB weren't the licensee, you see, don may jr was (and is) and took the licenses with him to BU.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

I'm glad someone knows that it wasn't all Anchor Bay getting these great movies. Didn't Bill Lustig also license alot of the films?

Either way, glad to see Torso will be back in print in the US as it is a great gialli.

I'll probably check out The 10th Victim at some point.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Hell Yeaaaaaah!!!!

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

i had the name wrong, you got it right. bill lustig worked AB then went BU. don may jr is synapse, i think.

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Yeah Don May JR is Synapse....

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

When will Blue Underground release the Ilsa trilogy???

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Yeah, no shit. I've put off buying the Canadian release because it left off the extras from the OOP AB set, not to mention it replaced Wicked Warden with Tigress of Siberia (which was also a PAL disc). Come on, BU!

Re: Does Blue Underground have the rights to Torso?
 

Hello Friends!!

I'm looking to purchase the AWE version (Scandinavian) of TORSO. Where can I go to buy it? Which Amazon?


Thanx,
