Re: Anybody know whats up with the Roger Corman titles
Just got Piranha-SE with lenticular slip cover, but is a 1 Disc edition, was the two disc edition released, or the people at Shout did not release the 2 disc set?

Re: Anybody know whats up with the Roger Corman titles
I had pre-ordered Piranha & Humanoids From the Deep from Amazon way back for $17.99 but got a $6.00 refund when they dropped the release price to $14.99 each. My Piranha also has the lenticular slip cover but as far as I knew this was always a 1 disc release-

Just saw Piranha on DVD at Wal-Mart tonight for $15, but passed on it when I saw it was only 1-disc. I was afraid Wal-Mart had gotten a cheaper 1-disc version but it's looking like they managed to cram everthing onto 1 disc and not have to use another dvd for the sp. features.

Same here. I guess the piranhas ate the 2nd disc.
A bigger issue is that the audio commentary is out of sync. You can hear the actors' dialogue after they close their mouths. Guess I'll email Shout Factory. (they don't get an exclamation mark for defects)

Was a bunch of new Corman titles just announced? Amazon has a November 2nd date for "Not Of This Earth" (which I thought was originally planned as a double feature. I own the original release and am curious if anybody knows if this release is really happening and any VAM details.

The 1957 version is coming as a triple feature with ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and WAR OF THE SATELLITES.

I wouldn't mind picking up the 1988 version, even if its SDVD, as long as the picture is cleaned up and 16x9. The commentary on the original release is great. I would imagine that it's being ported over.

From DVD Drive-In:
It's too bad none of the upcoming titles will be in HD, as I'd love Caged Heat on Blu-ray.
This holiday season, get ready to fire-up with the action from four explosive Roger Corman gangster classics when Shout! Factory, in association with New Horizons Picture Corporation, unleashes the BIG BAD MAMA/BIG BAD MAMA II Double-Feature Collector’s Edition DVD and CRAZY MAMA/THE LADY IN RED Double-Feature Collector’s Edition DVD on December 7, 2010. A must-have for loyal fans, these two pairs of Roger Corman’s Cult Classics double-feature DVD sets boast new Anamorphic widescreen movie presentation with loaded extras. Aggregate your Roger Corman’s Cult Classics with these two double-feature collector’s edition DVD sets. Each set is sold separately with $19.93 SRP.
The Big Bad Mama/Big Bad Mama II double-feature collector’s edition showcases Angie Dickinson (Dressed to Kill, TV’s Police Woman) at her toughest and sexiest, in one of her signatures roles.
None bigger, none badder, and none more beautiful than Angie Dickinson as Big Bad Mama!
During the Depression, Wilma McClatchie (Dickinson) finds that there is no money to be made in the bootlegging business, but a chance meeting with bank robber Fred Diller (Tom Skerritt, Top Gun, TV’s Picket Fences) leads to a new career -- in crime!
Along with her daughters (Robbie Lee and Susan Sennett), Wilma joins Fred on his next big heist. After meeting slick gambler/con-man William J. Baxter (William Shatner, Star Trek, TV’s Boston Legal), Wilma recruits him and the rest of her gang to kidnap a millionaire’s daughter in hopes of collecting a big ransom.
Big Bad Mama also stars Sally Kirkland (Anna, In the Heat of Passion), Noble Willingham (City Slickers 1 & 2, The Last Boy Scout), cult favorite Dick Miller (The Howling, Gremlins 1 & 2) and Royal Dano (The Trouble With Harry, The Dark Half).
The ongoing cult popularity of Big Bad Mama prompted Roger Corman to fashion a follow-up remake more than a dozen years later. As gorgeous as ever, Angie Dickinson agreed to reprise her role as the pistol-packin’, hard-lovin’ Wilma McClatchie in Big Bad Mama II.
Joined again by her two beautiful daughters (Danielle Brisbois and Playboy Playmate Julie McCullough), Wilma’s out to steal a better life for herself. The sexy trio sets their (gun) sights on revenge against a crooked politician (Bruce Glover, Diamonds Are Forever, Ghost Town) by robbing his banks and kidnapping his son. Along the way, they’re joined by a resourceful newspaper reporter (Emmy® nominee Robert Culp, TV’s I Spy and The Greatest American Hero) who becomes part of the gang … and becomes Mama’s favorite!

When Big Bad Mama hit it big at the box office, producers Roger Corman and Julie Corman decided to go the distance for more thrills – better and crazier!
Directed by future Academy Award® winner Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia), Cloris Leachman (The Last Picture Show, Young Frankenstein) stars in Crazy Mama as Melba Stokes, a middle-aged woman who runs a beauty parlor with her mother Sheba (Academy Award® nominee Ann Southern, The Whales of August) and teenage daughter Cheryl (Linda Purl, Visiting Hours). When the shop falls into foreclosure and is repossessed, the three ladies take a wild road trip from California to the family home in Arkansas that turns into a crime spree.
Crazy Mama also stars Academy Award® nominee Stuart Whitman (The Mark, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines), Donny Most (TV’s Happy Days) and Jim Backus (TV’s Gilligan’s Island, Rebel Without a Cause).
Pamela Sue Martin (The Poseidon Adventure, TV’s Dynasty) makes a startling transition into grown up roles, in the title role of The Lady in Red. All her life, Polly Franklin wanted to see her name in lights. Yet her dreams were constantly dashed and she frequently wound up in trouble. From sweatshop worker to dancehall girl, from prisoner to prostitute, Polly lived a hard, often harrowing, life. Then she fell for John Dillinger (Robert Conrad, Jingle All the Way, TV’s Wild Wild West), the much-feared bank robber and killer who was declared “Public Enemy Number 1” by the FBI.
It was Polly who wore the infamous red dress on that fateful July evening in 1934 Chicago, when she and Dillinger went to the movies at the Biograph Theatre. It is there that Polly found the fame she had so long craved -- although not in the way she desired.
With a hard-edged script rooted in history by two-time Academy Award® nominee John Sayles (Eight Men Out, Lone Star), The Lady in Red is a gritty crime saga with a unique point of view. It explores the mystery behind one of the most notorious “ladies” of her time.
Produced by Julie Corman and directed by Lewis Teague (Alligator, Cujo), the film’s star-studded cast includes Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Cheap Detective), Christopher Lloyd (Piranha 3-D, the Back to the Future trilogy, TV’s Taxi), cult favorite Dick Miller (Big Bad Mama, Gremlins 1 & 2) and, in a special appearance, Academy Award® nominee Robert Forster (Jackie Brown, Alligator, The Delta Force).

Re: Anybody know whats up with the Roger Corman titles
Welcome to a distant world of exciting battles, exotic women, mystical secrets and evil wizards in The Warrior And The Sorceress. Kain (David Carradine) is the last survivor of a mighty warrior tribe. Once an exalted warrior-priest, Kain now wanders the planet Vra as a mercenary sword-for-hire. In the small village of Yam-A-Tar, he finds two vicious clans struggling for power and becomes embroiled in the treachery and battles, the mighty wizardry and rampant debauchery.
On the eve of her wedding, Amathea (Lana Clarkson) sees her world dissolve: her groom imprisoned, her village razed, and her friends attacked and slaughtered. Becoming the Barbarian Queen, she vows revenge and retribution. Along with her female warriors, she entices and then destroys her adversaries. Barbarian Queen also stars Katt Shea (Psycho III) and Dawn Dunlap (Forbidden World).
Both films feature a new anamorphic widescreen transfer (1.78:1) and theatrical trailers.

Re: Anybody know whats up with the Roger Corman titles
I believe the connection is that his company negotiated for US rights and then distributed them through Fox. Effectively, they imported them and were basically the middleman. Very similar to how API was functioning in the sixties and seventies. You get a lot of "Roger Corman presents a so-and-so production" type of credit on these. He also had next to nothing to do with Starcrash as well.
