Why is the post-apocalypse genre so neglected on DVD?

I bought a post-apocalyptic boxed set a few months ago.  It consisted of 3 movie:

* After the Fall of New York
* 1990: The Bronx Warriors
* The New Barbarians

It's a great set - - all of the movies are remastered and have sharp, clear video and audio, and they are all in letterbox format.  But, I agree that there are many, many of these movies that need to be released on DVD.

Yeah, been looking for that one everywhere -- noone seems to have it anymore. Strike up another online purchase...

For some reason the B&M retailers I frequent didn't seem to make an effort to keep this particular box set in stock.  When I found mine it was the only set on the shelf.  A few weeks later they had maybe three or four, but since then nothing but the horror box sets or those with plenty of T&A.   Which, of course, I bought because, well, we have to support these companies.  :teddyr:

I FINALLY got that Post-Apoc Triple Feature, was glad I did. 2019 is probably my fave out of the three.

If you want lame arse PA movies, try Def Con 4.  Talk about cheesy sets and overacting.  And in this world, the survivors have awesome big hair  *lol*
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

Phoenix the Warrior, which is now called "She Wolves of the Wasteland" was released on DVD a little while back.  Hopefully this will mark the beginning of a trend.

I'm hoping for a DVD release of the Phillipino Warriors of the Apocalypse [AKA Seachers of the Vodoo Mountains], myself.  I want to see if it's as crazy/bad as I remember.
