Street Trash

[KillerCannabis]

I'm glad that my holding off on buying the single disc is paying off. I don't have a problem with the new art. It could end up being flashier than it looks on a computer screen. Maybe some reflective green goo or something. Either way it's going to be mine in Oct.

Argh, I just bought the single disc, watched it for the first time, and I have to say it's one of the best cult films I've seen.... I'd want to double dip on the 2 disc set, but maybe I'll wait for the next gen disc to upgrade.

I got the single disc version a while back and have no problems upgrading. I love this movie!!! I am on a little quest actually. When I was a little kid I saw so many horror/trash/cult movies featured on posters at the local rental place, and on USA back when it was an awesome station that played pretty much anything. Of course I couldn't see any of them because I either couldn't stay up late enough to see them on USA (though I did manage to do so every once in a while) or my mom wouldn't rent those kinds of movies for me. Then when I got to the age where I could rent what I wanted, 99% of these movies were unavailable on VHS thanks to the Blockbusters of the world.

Anyway, thanks to DVD and awesome companies like Synapse I am slowly getting caught up on these movies.

I remember seeing clips of Street Trash on a Sat or Sun morning on a show they had on USA that basically just ran clips of weird/trashy movies. They showed the penis catch scene pretty much in its entirety, as well as the scene where the bum melts on the toilet. I clearly remember the sound effects in that scene and when I finally got to see the movie it brought back a lot of memories.

I have been holding off for months for the 2 disc set I am not waiting anymore. Placing order w/ deepdiscount this week.

The picture quality on the single DVD is great, and you get a couple of snazzy Tenefly Viper stickers that won't be in the 2 disc release.

I figured that it would be a good disc since everything I have from Synapse is incredible especially Brain Damage. I just put that in tonight and I am still floored over the transfer. Free stickers are always cool too.

Any date for the 2 disc release?

From Fangoria.com:

Fango got the first details on the specs for Synapse Films’ two-DVD set of the cult gorefest STREET TRASH, along with the cover art. Arriving September 26, the package will include an anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer from the original camera negative with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and original 2.0 mono audio tracks, plus the following extras:

• Two audio commentaries featuring producer Roy Frumkes and director James Muro
• The Meltdown Memoirs, an all-new two-hour documentary on the history and making of STREET TRASH
• Muro’s original 16mm short version of STREET TRASH
• The long-lost, never-before-seen STREET TRASH promotional teaser
• Behind-the-scenes still gallery
• Original theatrical trailer

The documentary is further described thusly: “Over four years in production, Roy Frumkes’ The Meltdown Memoirs is more than a ‘making of’ documentary; rather, it is an intensely personal, expansive impression of the STREET TRASH years, and what preceded and followed them. Bolstered by a haunting score, dozens of interviews with cast, crew and other genre figures and rare footage detailing the cult classic’s evolution, this is a uniquely eccentric, sometimes shocking experience from the creator of DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD. Features an interview with director Bryan Singer [SUPERMAN RETURNS and X-MEN, and a PA on STREET TRASH], an appearance by the New York ‘subway vigilante’ Bernard Goetz and—almost—the entire cast of STREET TRASH!”

Fango got a sneak peek at Meltdown Memoirs and can attest that is indeed one of the most revelatory and surprising documentaries on the world of independent horror filmmaking ever produced. Retail price for the set will be $29.95. —Michael Gingold

wow i may have to double dip after all

[SaviniFan]

This is a definite double-dip for me. I can't wait to see the documentary.

Okay, this makes me glad I didn't give in and buy the single-disc release.

deffo sounds one to buy for the documentary alone

[Choptop]

I'll probably pick this up. My first viewing of Street Trash was the old Dragon LD, got the single disc DVD at DDD's sale and haven't watched it yet. I can justify a double dip tho, I loved this movie back in the analog days.

definatley getting it, I held off on the single disc for months so I can wait a few more.

Man, can't wait to pick up the 2 disc. Those extras sound awesome. I even like the new cover, it's kinda like a variation on the original Lightning Video vhs cover from way back when.

Sounds good...I'll be waiting.
