I think we'll hear angry mom's over this with two scenes featuring boobage.

Yeah, I pretty sure the same mother is going to complain to WB.

Watch it last night and sure enough their is nudity. I enjoy the movie but I thought Moon Zero Two was a hoot, my favorite of the two.

BATTLE BENEATH THE EARTH had an interesting premise, but the direction and plotline really seemed half baked.

My thoughts exactly. That's the one I watched last night... awful. Neat idea that goes nowhere. Wasn't even campy enough to fall into the "so bad it's good" category.

I started the first 20 minutes of Ultimate Warrior and that seems to be much better. Of course, a big part of that is Max von Sydow. That dude could sit there reciting the phone book and it would still be riveting.

Caveboobs!
I hit my local Best Buy on the way home and they had exactly one copy of each of these, so I got 'em. Thanks for the reminder.

I have heard through a mailing list that Best Buy is telling customers that WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH / MOON ZERO TWO has been recalled as defective. Copies may or may not be pulled from shelves (thus far it seems they haven't been, but who knows when that may change). Grab a copy as soon as you can if you want it.

I pre-ordered all three, got the first "backordered" notice, then later a shipping confirmation for the other two only, and I doubt they will send the so-called "defective" one, so I had to drive to the store this time.

I got a shipping notice for all 3 double features, including the "recalled" one.

I haven't watched "WHEN DINOSAURS RULED..." yet but how far into the flick is the "Lake Minnetonka" scene?

Looks like the next wave of Best Buy exclusives (Oct 7) will be The Brides of Fu Manchu/Chamber of Horrors and The Shuttered Room/It. I'll be getting both of these. DVD Drive-in link:

Would have expected a set of the three Fu Manchu films if they ever did release them. Also, if ever released, It paired with The Frozen Dead since they were produced and released together as a double feature. Can toss my bootleg of Chamber of Horrors. Hopefully they don't use an edited print and the intro, horror horn and fear flasher intact. Shuttered Room is a real treat. Haven't seen it in ages.
This gives hope the two William Conrad films will get released. Two On A Guillotine and My Blood Runs Cold.

Spoiler:
For those who pick up CHAMBER OF HORRORS and have never seen it, watch for a suprise cameo

Looks like this never happened, at least with Moon/Dinosaurs. And what a pretty penny those marketplace sellers are expecting from their OOP copies:

The prices are high, but I must admit that I'm entertained by the one seller's comments: "Includes the UNCUT VERSION of WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH (with BOOBIES!) "

Sort of says it all.
