RE:Giallo Collection Pt.2 What the...?

[Crystal Plumage]

According to Mondo Digital's Februari update the Giallo Collection Pt.2 will now only have four discs??
What the f***??
The Giallo Collection, Box 2 (Blue Underground/Ryko) includes Forbidden Photos of a Lady Under Suspicion, The Girl with the Yellow Pajamas, Seven Deaths in the Cat's Eye, Strip Nude for Your Killer
Where the hell is Bird?Anyone know if this is true?

[dwatts]

Yeah, I read something elsewhere. Bird proved a hotter title, so it's coming seperately.

[maybrick]

I like this idea better. The first collection only had four discs, plus, it'll keep the price down. I'm also not sure I need to upgrade from my VCI edition of BIRD.

[Crystal Plumage]

I like this idea better. The first collection only had four discs, plus, it'll keep the price down.
I agree.
But when will Bird be released now?
Would love to see a SE of it with a second disc loaded with extras.

[dwatts]

Since I was one of those that decried the decision to include Bird at the time of that annoucement, obviously this sits well with me. Mind you, I'd much rather they add another title to replace it. There's no reason for this box to be stuck at four movies like the last set was, the more the merrier I say. Cost? Well, honestly, this is such a compelling title, ten bucks here or there isn't going to change things one way or the other to me.

[h. simon kittay]

why do they call it box 2? the 1st one was released by anchor bay....

[Crystal Plumage]

Only one answer springs to mind:Bill Lustig

[dwatts]

Sure, the original box was put together by Blue underground when they released their material through AB... now they don't. Still, box 2 - box 1 - I just want more.

[Crystal Plumage]

Will the official title actually be "Giallo Collection Part 2"?
The first wasn't called "Part 1" in the first place.

[DeathDealer]

I wouldn't really believe that website due to the fact that they have Yakuza Papers listed as a TBA. When we all know it came out in the end of last year.

If they can mess up on that, who knows what else is wrong.

[Evil Dead Guy]

What no Death Laid an Egg, i was looking forward to see this title in the set. I will still buy it though along with set one, is the release date still in May sometime.

From what I've read,this BIRD will be transferred from the original negative and feature interviews with Argento and Eva Renzi.More info is forthcoming.

[Damin J. Toell]

Will the official title actually be "Giallo Collection Part 2"?
The first wasn't called "Part 1" in the first place.

So? Most first parts of series aren't actually called "Part 1". The first Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th films, for example, don't actually say "Part 1" on the title screen.

[h. simon kittay]

BU didn't call their spaghetti western box "part 2" but "once upon a time in italy", so this time the're maybe going for Death Laid a DVD....

[DeathDealer]

Dude, Once Upon Time In Italy was released by Anchor Bay and Not BU. Trust me, I have that collection. BU released a totally different box called The Spaghetti Western Box.

[h. simon kittay]

oops, you're right....i mixed them up....

[Semerrill]

how long do you think it will take for the first boxset to be oop?

[dwatts]

It's an AB limited edition - therefore, around 2010 (with several "reissues" and "repackages" in the mean time).

[Semerrill]

well i have to hurry up and order one,i put off ordering this for spasmo and the bird with crystal plumage and my dear kiler.

[Crystal Plumage]

Those are excellent too :)

[tom smud]

[Crystal Plumage]

And Bird With The Crystal Plumage will be a seperate release..

[tom smud]

ive already got strip nude on xrated [and bird with cyrstal plum on medusa for that matter]so i hope they just do the top four ......or more as long as they havnt had prior dvd releases[good realeases that is....the fifth cord is on a rediculously priced japanese release]

[Crystal Plumage]

Fifth Cord will be a seperate release too I heard.

[tom smud]

so.......were down to three titles.........at this rate there will only be an empty box for sale!!!!

[de rossi]

so.......were down to three titles.........at this rate there will only be an empty box for sale!!!!

The Giallo Collection Part 2 seems to be very thin.... :confused:
It would be better if they released all titles separately!

[Crystal Plumage]

so.......were down to three titles.........at this rate there will only be an empty box for sale!!!!Four if you count correctly,just like the first box

[Crystal Plumage]

The Giallo Collection Part 2 seems to be very thin.... :confused:
It would be better if they released all titles separately!They probably will,like they did with the Spaghetti Western Collection.

[Semerrill]

Has anyone heard any new information yet

[Semerrill]

is STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER really going to be in this collection i really want to see this and i cant wait.and is there a date yet for this release

[Cannibal_Zombie]

It looks like it will be,but if they don`t give a date soon i`ll pick the german disc

[de rossi]

It looks like it will be,but if they don`t give a date soon i`ll pick the german disc

Wait, the german disc has a terrible english audio-track...

[Semerrill]

which four are going to be with the giallo boxset

[de rossi]

If there is a box-set in the first place... All titles are listed individually at BU:s website.

[Semerrill]

yeah that could be true

[Crystal Plumage]

Although not part of the "Giallo Collection" (AFAIK),here's a nice review of "The Fifth Cord" (http://www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/hysterialives/Hysteria/fifth_cord.htm) (the movie,not the upcoming DVD)
Especially this quote got me interested http://horrordvds.com/vb3forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif:
But Bazzoni only seems really interested in it as a vehicle for trying to break the consistency of every possible continuos action and creating memorable visuals in the style of Dario Argento and Michelangelo Antonioni.
Opinions are different on this one and I'm very looking forward to BU's release of it!
Whether released as part of the Giallo collection or not,this will be mine as well as all those other BU Gialli.

[Jimbo]

Franco Nero is the man.I cant wait for this release.

[Crystal Plumage]

I found this at the DVDManiacs Forum:

.........Just got some literature on the Blind Dead set from BU's table at the San Diego Comic Book Convention..... *SNIP*.....
Asked about the "Giallo Box 2." There are like seven titles and they will ONLY be available as stand alone titles. No box.

So these must be the first six titles then:

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage 2DVD SE
The Fifth Cord
Forbidden Photos Of A Lady Above Suspicion
The Pyjama Girl Case
Seven Deaths In The Cat's Eye
Strip Nude For Your Killer
So any idea which should be number seven??Death Laid An Egg comes to mind and I'm still (wishful) thinking Four Flies On Grey Velvet.
Could ofcourse also mean they counted Bird as two discs?

[Crystal Plumage]

Anyway,box or not,I'm buying!!

[tobaccoman]

I still have yet to get the first box. It's just so hard for me to order something and wait for it as opposed to having it in my hands and taking it home with me. Bird With The Crystal Plummage is "must-have" for me just because it's Argento so I'll get that, no doubt about it. If they were all released in a box, I'd get it for sure. But since apparently it's not going to be, I'll wait for reviews and see which ones I want. I think they should release them as a box and stand-alone as well, but... whatever.

[de rossi]

I quote this from M Crist at dvdmaniacs.net:

Forgive me if this was covered already. Just got some literature on the Blind Dead set from BU's table at the San Diego Comic Book Convention and it looks like the first two movies will be 1.66:1 and the second two are 1.85:1, which should all be OAR. Also Spanish and English audio choices on all.

Also asked them about what happened to ONE DARK NIGHT. They couldn't get acceptable elements, so it's not gonna happen.

Asked about the "Giallo Box 2." There are like seven titles and they will ONLY be available as stand alone titles. No box.

I heard this from different sources, so it sound like we don´t get no boxed set...

[Luna]

Damn!

[Crystal Plumage]

I quote this from M Crist at dvdmaniacs.net:



I heard this from different sources, so it sound like we don´t get no boxed set...Basically what I said de rossi :D
But I still wonder what the seventh title will be!

[de rossi]

Well, we have to wait and see...
