Brainslasher and Amazonas grabbed my attention -- anyone know what these flicks are about? any good? good gore?

Actually, Brain Slasher is the "German" title of the film "Mindwarp", starring Bruce Campbell. It's a fun & gory sci-fi mutant cannibal flick. It was released on video some time ago by Columbia/Tri-Star.

AsianFilmNetwork will release "Score - The Big Fight" that is the second part, while Dragon's "Score" is the first part.

I don't know anything about Amazonas (I hate cannibal movies, as long as Laura Gemser is not in them) and Sudden Fury. But it looks like the Sudden Fury DVD is a real Special Edition:
Filmographies,
Outtakes,
Deleted Scenes,
Audio Commentary
Soundtrack
Picturegallery
eng. and germ. audio
widescreen

They have to start to release anamorphic transfers though. DRAGON mates everything on 1:66.1 (Demons, Dead And Buried, The Burning) and it gets on my nerves a bit. I have ZOMBIE2 , BURNING and the dreadfull PHENOMENA. Let's hope for the better!

Umm, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure AB's DVDs of Demons and Phenomena are 1.66 as well.

I don't believe Dragon will start to do anamorphic dvds. There quality level went down since there Frankenhooker release

Most of the stuff they release these days has below average/average picture and audio quality.

In spite of this I like Dragon's Phenomena release, it is the best version of the integral print I have ever seen.

Just checked out imdb - you are right on Demons

However, the french DVD and the UK one are on 1:85.1 - who knows.

The Brain Slasher DVD is also supposedly uncut - here in the States the Mindwarp tape was noticably trimmed of several bits of KNBs gruesome fx to reach the desired "R" rating. I've never seen an uncut version, but I dunno if it'd be worth buying the Dragon release to do so (I can't help but think that further down the road someone will do one with Bruce Campbell commentary).

Amazonas is, judging by the pictures, Michele Tarantini's Massacre in Dinosaur Valley (aka Stranded in Dinosaur Valley) starring euro-fav Michael Sopkiw. I'll be curious to hear about the pic quality of this one.

Media Blasters owns the rights to Score here in the US and plan on releasing it to DVD. The film itself is relatively fun, although it's a TOTAL rip-off of Reservoir Dogs (which in turn was a rip-off of City On Fire).
