Call me stupid, who is Legend Films and what else have they put out?

I never heard of them.

I can't call you stupid If you don't like Shirley Temple or colorization you're not likely to hear of them.

Legend Films is a San Diego colorization and restoration studio. It was founded about 7 years ago by the inventor of the digital colorization process. At this time they have colorized over 50 movies and done some special effects for theatrical release films.

Among the titles you might know:
It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street
Heidi
Reefer Madness
The Jackie Robinson Story
The Mark of Zorro
My Man Godfrey

Check out their web site at http://www.legendfilms.net

Mike Nelson from MST3K is also a content producer there, and many Legend Films discs have commentary tracks by him.

Rifftrax is part of Legend Films, I believe.

Mike Nelson's stuff has been my favorite Legend product, but I have liked a few of their colorizations. The Reefer Madness colorization was fun and I have to admit I liked the look of 20 Million Miles to Earth in color. I've hated many of their other colorizations though. I thought the Three Stooges shorts and My Man Godfrey were horrible colorized and were as far from natural as you could get.

However, like the colorizations or not they usually give you a really good black and white print as well so I've never seen any harm. I think its great they are branching out to release more films that studios have been sitting on.

I'd add that their release of Little Shop of Horrors was very welcomed by me as that title had long fallen into PD limbo. It could have used a better set of extras more specific to the film, but having a good B&W transfer of the film in my collection gives them a thumbs up in my book.

Trigger

They need to also put out Pandemonium and release it with this as a double feature set in a box that looks like horsehead bookends.

Another great horror parody...

Can't wait for this one! Haven't seen it in years!!

Joel Goodsen

Really glad to see the original cover art being used, It makes a nice change.

dvd basen is your friend.

Gracious.

Does anyone know what B&M store might have this.

I've checked BB, CC, and Barnes and Noble.
None of them are even listing it on their sites.

HotThang

GENIOUS!

Target has had it out for over a month now. They had an exclusive on the first batch of Legend releases. I believe Best Buy gets the exclusive "first" release on the next wave of Legend titles.

Mao

If Target has it, they're being awfully quiet about it...it's not on their website, either....

Can anyone else confirm?

Giles

so is it worth a blind buy, or should I wait a very long time for it to become available on my Netflix queue?

hiccup

I've been recommended this movie by a few people. Is this out now, or only at Target?

Lastdaysofrain

It wasn't at all Targets, it was just at SOME Target stores. The Best Buy Exclusive thing will also only be at 100 Best Buy stores, but they claim it will be available on Best Buy's web site.

I'd also say I wouldn't blind buy it, it's a goofy movie, very Naked Gun, I think a lot of the charm of it lies in the nostalgia factor. If you saw this as a kid, you will enjoy it now. But I've never shown this to anyone who hadn't seen it as a kid and had them like it.

Gizmo

So is this out? I'm confused...

Gizmo

And us BB offering something extra? Amazon has it for $12.99 next week.

Darth Maher

I agree with this. I saw it for the first time a few months ago. It just seemd extremely slow moving. had I seen it back in the day, I would probably love it... like Footloose. My wife saw Footloose a couple of years a go and can't see what the big deal is.

It's all about the memories...

If you like 80's slashers I would say it's worth owning.
As a kid I had a group of friends who always quoted this movie, and as a teenager I made another group of friends who were already quoting from this movie. So although the movie is little-known I've rarely known too many people who weren't familiar with it. I lent it to a friend recently (now that I'm getting up there in age) and she liked it and was quoting right away. It's not that it's comedy genius or anything, just lots of bizzare things being said that stick in your head, "I thought it sounded as though you were talking through a rubber chicken!".

The Monkees

Damn I forgot this came out. I've never seen it but I love 80s slasher films so I guess it might be worth it.

HotThang

It's a parody of 80's slasher films ala Scary Movie. We watched it last night and it is still pretty funny.
