Deep Star Six and No Way Out

[jfcarbel]

Looking for opinions on these spanish releases:
Deep Star Six
No Way Out

This one also look interesting but wonder how it differs from the recent Kino US release:
The Manhattan Project

I know that some Spain releases can be pirated copies (example The Hidden).

These look legit though. Anyone have experiences with these?
Any forced subs?

Also I will be ordering from the US on Amazon.es - has anyone had any issues with ordering from US and any shipping issues?

Presume DS6 is the same master as the Japanese release. If it is then it's decent without being outstanding.

None of them look legit to me. Recently, Resen and other notorious bootleggers have stopped stating their names on the sleeves. Deep Star Six is a rip sourced from the Japanese disc, even has Japanese sound. No Way Out is another Resen Disc, so most likely another bootleg. Manhattan Project is by Llamentol, another of the numerous Resen offsprings. You should expect BD-R's. I wish people would stop supporting these cheap pirate copies.

That is why I am asking
Thanks for the tip off.

Will look into the Japanese import for the Deep Star Six and just get the US versions of the other 2.

Found this little info on Resen as well:
"In Spain, Research Entertainment are foremost among the most prolific bootleggers – to the extent that “Resen” is Spanish slang for a pirate or bootleg." - source

Any tips on where best to buy Japanese imports?

Not sure on how easy would be for Shout Factory to get licensing for US release from Lions Gate. Have Lions Gate let them release any other titles?

Sent this email to Shout Factory (I believe they handle Scream Factory label also):

DeepStar Six (1989) - I think this would be a perfect title for Scream Factory. It has a Japanese release, but nothing in the EU or US. And would hugely benefit from a 5.1 sound re-master. With the your recent release of Leviathan and the upcoming Abyss in 2017 fron Fox, this would make the perfect underwater horror/sci-fi trifecta for collectors.
