Could this mean that Blue Underground will eventually release both Maniac Cop films?

That is what I was wondering. It seems only natural right? Why host the movies and then say, "Shame I couldn't get the rights to release these, huh?"

Oh how I would love these to get the BU treatment.

I'll fourth that.

It'll suck if Lustig ends up announcing that they won't release these after all.

I could probably talk my dad into taking me to this, but I'm lazy so I'll probably end up not feeling like going at the last minute.

i think i might try and good for the troma one instead that sounds cool

If BU does end up releasing both MC movies, that'd rock! They also need to get a hold of the rights for the third one as well! The Unrated version of it anyway. If anyone goes, ask him that question if someone else hasn't and report back to us

i think blue underground will be release the maniac cop trilogy as a box set with extra features if so blue underground will be almost as good as anchor bay

I'll ask Bill at the show...can't say that he will tell me for certain...but I will try!

it'd be neat to see Maniac Cop in a new release (with all the AB extras) and throw MC 2&3 on a double feature disc.

MC II and III are still easy enough to find on DVD, although the only uncensored version of MC II seems to be the German DVD.

MC I on my DVD doesn't have any extras such as the commentary, but it does have 10 minutes of more footage. )

Elite put out the original Maniac Cop DVD not AB.

I hear ya. The Elite DVD was released very early in terms of DVD, probably early 98 and since technology has improved vastly with the likes of Anamorphic transfers and such, I know this film would look lights years ahead of what we currently have to deal with. Not only that but the Elite DVD has been OOP for ages.
