Here I was expecting this to be another absolute crap release from Retromedia - they have surprised me a bit with it.  I have at least three VHS of this one kicking around, but this DVD seems quite worth the upgrade.  Thanks for the review!

Kindest regards,

I've always found the Retromedia releases to be very well done, though sometimes they're working with existing elements that havent' stood up well.  Even in this one, as a preamble says at the start, there are a few sections where the available 35mm print was so degraded that they had to fill in with a 16mm in the producer's possession.

(Now, when I say that the Retromedia releases are well done, it does not follow that the movies are necessarily good.  But still.

My experience has mostly been with their AIP releases - the Gamera vs. Monster X and Return of the Giant Monsters.  That they inserted their own copyrights over films they, honestly, have no rights to (the AIP Gameras are assumed to be in public domain, though that, in and of itself, is open for debate) is annoying but livable. . . but they edited both Return of the Giant Monsters and The Magic Serpent with no real reason to do so - in the latter case it's just by adding annoying sound effects where there previously were none but in the case of the former it meant adding new special effects to the end. . .

At any rate, all of their releases can't be bad and I definitely want to pick up their Planet of Dinosaurs disc - as I said, it looks quite impressive compared to what I've come to expect from them.

Kindest regards,

I had no idea that there was a new DVD.  I love this awful movie.  Great review, by the way!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
