Contraband, worth buying?
 

Hey guys,
I was thinking about ordering the new Contraband DVD, but I was wondering if the movie is anygood? I also was wondering how are the action scenes and is there plenty of blood preasent during the film?

Silly question, of course it's worth buying. And fear not, the blood be present.:evil:

Yeah it's quite good. I did a little review of it here: http://www.geocities.com/eurocultdiscs/fulci.html . Just scroll down.

Did you mean Contamination, or am I just missing it?

My bad, I was thinking CONTAMINATION. Same statements apply though, and I fixed the link.

Thanks for the review Andrew, I'm going to check out the film.

hey, i just received my copy of The Smuggler (contraband) in the mail today.. its the dutch release.... by "Italian Shock DVD and video entertainment"... seems like a small release company.. the cover doesnt even have a barcode and UPC.. anyone seen this version and can comment on its completeness? it says that its the full uncut release..

It's cut by 30 something seconds, avoid.

ah crap, the guy said it was uncut.... arrived in the mail today, looks fairly graphic... bugger.. i hate knowing i dont have everything

I was disappointed by this Fulci flop, no wonder he never made another gangster flick. Fulci films were rarely boring in those days, but he was here and what that Testi fella was doing certainly can't be labeled as acting. A MacColl, Farmer or Monreale might've lightened up the dull goings-on. Trust me, "The Black Cat" is a masterpiece compared, I also expected way more gore than what I got. Could - and should - have been way, way better considering it's an Italian film about the Mafia. The terrible disco music score didn't help matters either. :sleepy:
