Code Red Blu-ray Discussion Thread (RIP Bill "Bananaman" Olsen)

[Jaymole]

If anyone is on the fence about Savage Streets, I would advise to buy it as it is the most likely out of the five to sell out.

And who knows, if you end up not liking it and it sells out, you might be able to sell it and make a profit.

Does anyone know what all the Blu-rays are that Code Red has released so far? Like, before the five that just went up for pre-order, how many were there before that? Had any sold out? Just curious.

Thanks ^_^

Wow. Lol. I don't know how I missed that. Thank you very much.

I just placed my first ever order with them, and I'm a little skeptical. I usually don't stray too far from Amazon. I pre-ordered the 5 pack, and also picked up "Just Before Dawn", and "Voices From Beyond". Every one will be a blind buy, but I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to horror movies

Purchased the 5-Pack to stick beside Voices and Just Before Dawn. Happy to see Code Red go blu!

[Moe Szyslak]

Ordered Nail Gun. Blind buying Redeemer also.

Might be a month or three away, but any guesses as to the next batch of Blu-Rays from CR? Shakma? Messiah of Evil? Nightmare?

Exactly why I went ahead and did a blind buy preorder. Sounds...like...totally awesome!

While I agree with the rest of your sentiments about Savage Streets, I don't think "disasterpiece" is a fair statement. Like Reform School Girls, Class of 1984, and Blair's own Chained Heat, I think the "bad" or campy elements here are all very deliberate. It's actually a pretty legit film, especially in comparison to the other four Code Red new releases being discussed.

If any of these films are worth blind-buying, it's Savage Streets.

Probably depends on how well these sell.

Not sure but I believe Bill mentioned he has quite a few DVDs coming up very soon.

[HuggyBear73]

Anyone know when Bill will have these new releases up on Ebay?

[anthonyg]

Looks like there are 40 Voices from Beyond in stock and 34 Just Before Dawn in stock according to Bigcartel - so if the inventory levels are correct - might want to order if you have been on the fence.

Hopefully Bill can sub-license some more titles to Scream because it appears to have gave him funding to do these releases.

He uploads the VfB and JBD stock in bunches. So, there's quite a few more than the cart trick shows

I'm surprised he hasn't posted a notice asking visitors to stop trying to determine his remaining stock levels since it temporarily blocks the purchase of those items for others.

If he did that, I imagine people would just start doing it for fun to get a reaction out of him.

I didn't mean it in the context of a "so bad its good" movie.
I think its well made, well acted, well written. Just an all around good, cheesy by age, film. My use of "diasterpiece" was directed towards the cheese. (But at this point almost every pre-80s movie has some cheese, just because of the Millennial's pov)

Touché.

[jthefrank]

Any chance we can get this stickied, and the VfB and JBD references removed from the title?

[risky1975]

so with these 5 blu's plus the other 2 with more on the way .. i think its safe to say we can add a sticky to code red thread .. i think they are officially in the game..jus saying
