Once Seen obscurities

[Menard]

There's also a very cheap and bad ANIMAL HOUSE ripoff called KING FRAT that I saw in the theater with my buddies at a midnight show many years ago.  I'd like to see it again.

I thought that once, till I got a copy and watched it again. It's not so bad if you fast forward through it in about 15 minutes. I think Trek_Geezer (may he rest in peace) once mentioned that he liked this one. I originally saw it on a double bill at the drive-in with Summer Camp.

Blood Beach. I saw once, in the theater when it was first released and have never seen it since. I'd love to see it again.

From the lists above, I have DVDs of THE LEMON GROVE KIDS MEET THE MONSTERS (cheap and hilarious) as well as BUG (I'm surprised they haven't released a remake with tons of CGI).

For myself, THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS would have been on the list (but they just released it on DVD and I bought a copy . . . see my recent post).

Sister Grace...Ferro 45 has got me obbsessed now...I can find NO reference for it ANTWHERE!!!  I been to ebay, youtube , imdb, ....very elusive!  ARGHHH! I WILL DISCOVER the whereabouts of this film if it KILLS ME!

Join the crowd, i've been obsessed with it for a long time. I know it was once banned for explicit sexualness. I've looked so long for this movie that i'm starting feel like the old rich dude from Cigarette Burns

Sometimes you just wander into the tail end of a conversation and a post just doesn't make any sense by itself. You'd naturally figure reading what came before it would certainly make everything clear for you...

...sometimes...there is just no such thing as clear.

I don't know if you'd consider it bizarre or rare; but I'd love to see Taxidermia and can't find a copy anywhere. I'd also like to view Singapore Sling again, but i don't think that is really obscure anymore. I can't find a copy of Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood or Zombie Doom anywhere. Also three years later, I"m still on the hunt for Ferro 45.

Ferro 45? I got curious...I can't find that refenced anywhere! Is it an alternate title for Abel Ferrao's MS.45 ,perchance???  mebbe?

No, it's a late 70s german film about love triangle ends badly during ww2

I may, or may not, be on to something here....a 1975 German film called BONN '45...NO info is given for it. I mean....NONE! Mebbe? I still am hunting.

Confused? What's that? I know exactly what I don't know what anybody is talking about!

Burned at the Stake (1981)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082116/

I'm not sure if this one counts.
I saw the R rated version on cable once back in the early eighties. Since then, I've come across it a couple of times on VHS, & recently found a torrent online...
BUT THEY'RE ALL THE EDITED FOR TELEVISION VERSION 

The R rated version has this really cool scene in which Satan possesses this girl by cutting off one of his hands & making her eat it. In the edited for television version, this scene, as well as all references to it, and any potential references to it have been removed & replaced with this super cheesy "burning up the film" effect.

Video junkie that I am, I've got G rated & made for television movies from several eras in my collection, & I don't think I've ever seen a movie dumbed down this much, nor been so irritated in my quest to find a movie in it's non-purified form.

Even the PG rated version of Emanuele (yes, there really is one) left me with some degree of satisfaction.

Also, there was one time back in the early nineties when I stopped into a Craig's Video Central in Houston & rented Mad Max.
Hardly obscure, nor seldom seen, with little difference between the theatrical release & edited for television.
However, this particular copy had an extended cut of the scene in which the camera is panning across the parking lot outside Fat Nancy's while the dispatcher is trying to page Jim Goose. In particular, the camera spends some time panning across this picture of a naked lady this one guy has painted on his fender.
As far as pacing is concerned, it would've caused the scene to drag a bit, & the movie as a whole is better off without it, but I still wish I had bootlegged it, if anything, for trivia/archive purposes.

Saw this once at about 2:00 am on cable.  I was most likely drinking.  Heavily.  One of those post-apocalyptic things filmed in the desert.  With chicks on rollerblades.  Hmmm...little rollerblade wheels, sand;  wouldn't think that would work terribly well.  The girls worship a smiley face.  It was just terrible, in a very good way 

There was actually a trilogy of these Rollerblade movies.  I picked up the first one, Rollerblade, on VHS.  It was even worse than I remember Warriors being.  Just makes you scratch your head.  Then there was Return of the Rollerblade 7, which I've never seen.  There might actually have been more of them.  One day I shall posses them all!

  RC, a film I remember only ever seeing once was Pete Walker's House of The Long Shadows which I saw at boarding school in 1985. I haven't seen this since.

I don't know why MGM doesn't release it on DVD as they seem to have the rights to all the Cannon Films and this was one of them: maybe a rights issue somewhere? A film that has Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and John Carradine in it should be worth a release, surely?

I saw once in the theatres in '83 or so, something called "Escape 2000", with Olivia Hussey.  Apparently released in Australia as "Turkey Shoot" and in England as "Blood Camp Thatcher".  I guess it's out there, but I've never seen a copy of it as VHS or DVD in any of the video stores I frequent.  I didn't like it enough to actually buy a copy from Amazon, or what have you, but I'd gladly pay a dollar to rent it --
Post-apocalyptic monsters & mayhem, with a "Most Dangerous Game" undertheme.  Low, low budget with stock footage(!!) and a nude body-double for Ms. Hussey's shower scene.  One mutant "hunting dog" looks like bigfoot with a bow tie and a snazzy hat, which he periodically tips.  Red contact-lenses and a mouth full of fangs, ala Lon Chaney in London After Midnight, which is what I think they were going for.  Some of the bad guys meet quite bloody ends.
IMDB has some chat about it, so it must be available as people are seeing it --
I still recall stock footage of New Zealand jets at the end, so maybe it's a Kiwi production --

THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE (about a criminal who becomes invulnerable) and CRACK IN THE WORLD (end of the world disaster flick starring Dana Andrews, quite fun and well written I thought) are two I only caught on TV that I found very enjoyable and would like to see on DVD. The 1962 film THE BRAIN starring Peter van Eyck is another film noirish turn on DONOVAN'S BRAIN I'd also like to add to my DVD collection if I could.

Thanks, RC: now you've found it for me, all I have to do is find a credit card somewhere.
