When Amazon says "Usually ships within 8 to 11 days." - that usually means they don't actually have it in stock. Their system can also sometime change from that kind of status to simply "discontinued" as we saw earlier, but it usually means the same thing and there's no real reason why it fluctuates like that. If anyone actually gets one of these "SAVAGE STREETS" from Amazon at this point, please let us know - as I still want one myself! I doubt they'll ever ship, though.

So, is Navarre distributing the newer titles? If so, won't they re-release the OOP discs at some point, hopefully?

I did a Best Buy store inventory search and every BB in my area has it in stock. Plus the Amazon Marketplace price has dropped dramatically. About a week ago new copies were in the 40 dollar range.

I tried the Best Buy inventory again for my area and no stores have it in a 100 mile radius. Guess I'm in the wrong part of town.

From Code Red's blog:
Rare BRUTE CORPS screening in Seattle

Rare 35mm screening of our most recent acquisition, THE BRUTE CORPS! We are doing a brand new HiDef master from the original negatives, and extras to follow!

Photobucket

May 29 & 30, June 5 & 6

BRUTE CORPS

Dir: Jerry Jameson

1972 USA / Color, 35mm / 87min.

"Any thing they want... they take!"

A group of traveling mercenaries set stakes in a small Mexican border town where they start up a training camp. These are some seriously bad dudes (as one unlucky biker gang finds out). The mercs come across a young hippie couple on their way to nowhere in particular. After spending some time with them one of the soldiers starts to take a liking to pretty young girl. When he makes his less than good intentions known, the other soldiers get jealous and are soon locked in vicious contest to see who gets to force himself on the unwilling captive. And it just gets weirder from there! An incredibly rare and rarely seen gem of early 70's trash cinema. NEVER RELEASED ON VIDEO!

Re: Code Red releasing horror/sleaze titles fall 08, including Savage Streets!

I've wanted to see this one for so long that I actually forgot about wanting to see it for so long. I'd read about this in some magazine back in the late 70's but the closest I've ever come to seeing it was buying some cheap-but-cool press kit photos a few years later in . . . well, somewhere.

The director, Jerry Jameson, has been a television mainstay since the late 50's, and still cranks out such fare to this day, but the few times he's strayed to the big screen, he's crafted some memorable pictures, including AIRPORT 77 and the criminally underrated RAISE THE TITANIC. Should be interesting to see his first theatrical on DVD, and hopefully they get him for a commentary.

Yup. From their blog:
On August 18th, Code Red DVD will unleash THE STRANGENESS! It is 1980 and the price of gold is soaring. Old timers warn would be prospectors to stay away from the Gold Spike Mine. It has stood as a ghastly reminder of the horrors of a century before when the earth violently shook and over twenty miners were killed, their bodies stripped of flesh. The residents of Basin City talked of the grisly murders only in whispers from which legends of The Strangeness grew. A small group of explorers innocently make their way to the Gold Spike. Only one knows the incredible secret of the mine, and here the nightmare begins.....!

NIGHTMARE USA's Stephen Thrower described the film as having, "Ominous atmosphere, flashes of humour, and a truly startling monster!"

Shot in 16mm, Code Red presents the film in 16x9 widescreen (as requested by the director) from a HiDef master. Extras include 6 short films from Chris Huntley and Mark Sawicki; audio commentary from Sawicki, Huntley, and the director; on camera interviews with all three; and an extensive still gallery. MSRP is $22.98.

Deliver Us From Evil/The Fox Affair

On August 25th, Navarre and Code Red will release two enticing double feature DVDs as part of their “Exploitation Cinema” series. First off will be the 1978 Blaxploitation film DELIVER US FROM EVIL, along with FOX AFFAIR. The former will have a new anamorphic widescreen transfer and the disc will retail for $14.98. Also coming out the same day is a double disc of exploitation "teenage" classics: TEENAGE GRAFFITI and TEENAGE MOTHER. These two titles will be presented anamorphic widescreen and TEENAGE MOTHER will feature a comedic commentary with Cinema Head Cheese (www.cinemaheadcheese.com). This will retail for $19.98.

From DVD Drive-In:
Brian Trenchard-Smith is proud to present STUNT ROCK on DVD. The cult classic that is playing at midnight shows across the States is finally coming out on DVD in an official two-disc 30th Anniversary limited edition from Code Red. Australia's premier stuntman, Grant Page, meets up with fellow daredevil Cutis Hyde. Hyde does stunt work for a theatrical rock band called Sorcery, and Page impresses the rockers so much with his daredevil antics that they hire him as well. Featuring non-stop action, a killer soundtrack, and a bit of romance on the side, STUNT ROCK is an adrenaline-filled cult classic that is sweeping the midnight circuit! Limited to only 1,500 copies, this deluxe two-disc 30th Anniversary limited edition contains two audio commentaries, the trailer, Trenchard-Smith at the Alamo Draft House featurette, interviews with Trenchard- Smith, Smokey Huffs, Richard Blackburn, Martin Fink, Perry Morris, the Trenchard-Smith short film STUNTMAN, and much more! Suggested retail price is $29.98. Street date is August 25th!

Re: Code Red releasing horror/sleaze titles fall 08, including Savage Streets!

From Code Red's blog:
Sultry teen vixen Bonnie (cult beauty Candice Rialson) had no idea what was in store for her when she ditched her brother and took to the road, looking for cheap thrills wherever she could find them. Violent petty criminal Pat drags her into a kinky hold-up and lesbian artist Geraldine takes Bonnie under her wing as her personal muse, but the young runaway continues to crave adventure, leading her down a twisted path to a psychosexual encounter with Vincent, a collector of beautiful objects who wants to add her to his permanent collection... Co-starring Joan Blackman (MACON COUNTY LINE) and Ed Bishop ("UFO") in his wildest screen role, you've never seen anything like Pets! Play with them, fondle them, but beware...Pets bite!

One of the most outrageous and enjoyable films starring 70s drive-in icon Candice Rialson, Pets finally makes its long-awaited DVD debut with a new 16x9 transfer from ultra-rare print elements! This DVD is limited to 1500 copies. Enter the cage if you dare! MSRP 19.98 Street date 10/13
It seems as if all of their DVDs have been limited to 1500 copies. Pets is one I've been curious about ever since I saw it's poster in the Incredibly Strange Films book years ago.

That's amazing news! I'm assuming a suitably good master of the film was found somewhere. I hope it's uncut. It was previously rumoured that no good copy could be found, so I ended up buying the piece of crap from Synergy, which turned out to be nothing more than the old muddy, unintelligible VHS version transferred to DVD.

Messiah of Evil has been delayed until 10/27.

According to the Amazon listing "Un-cut and uncensored from a vault element from the producer!" Although, the PQ of Code Red's past releases has been spotty to say the least.

Hmm, we'll see then, but it can't possibly be worse than the Synergy release, which was a crime, really. There should be a law against releasing shit quality like that on an official basis. It was no better than a copy I recorded off a VHS rental some 15+ years ago.
