Frankenstein Created Bikers (2016)

[d_dozen]

Just got update 30 from kickstarter stating that both dear god no and Frankenstein created bikers will be on the same disc. While this is awesome for contributors that just signed up for the Frankenstein created bikers blu-ray, I wonder how they are going to handle the backers that contributed more money for the double blu-ray option to get both movies on separate discs.

Yeah, it's a head-scratcher. I contributed $50 for a second Blu-ray containing DGN so I wonder if anything extra will be done for those backers.

BTW, it'll be the grindhouse cut of the film, not the one previously released on BD. This version is a little bit longer, has more of the fake film damage effects and that, and it shows a little extra gore in spots. It only screened once theatrically, and is on VHS, but is now going to be on this BD from a 2K source as part of the drive-in special feature, which is both movies back-to-back with trailers for movies the director saw on the festival circuit plus fake ads.

He stated that once this 50GB pressing sells out, Frankenstein Created Bikers will be pressed on a 25GB disc after dropping DGN: Grindhouse Cut.

I tried ordering this on what I thought was the last day that the offer was available (January 20), but the kickstarter page wouldn't work for me. Oh well ...

The wording in the last email said the Kickstarter Blu-Rays will be different than the ones only done as a Pre-Order.

So Kickstarter Backers will be getting the Grindhouse Cut of DGN & Frankenstein Created Bikers and the non-Backers will not? Or is the only difference the Numbering of the Kickstarter Blu-Rays?

Is this another BD-R?

It's a pressed BD-50 containing two films, making it the first actual pressed Blu-ray for the first film, although it's the slightly different grindhouse "42nd Street Slut Cut."

It's a bit confusing because there was first a Kickstarter for the film, and then another one recently to bump the disc up to a dual-layered one with Dear God No! included. Far as I know, the backers of either KS get the same package, same disc content.

However, once this pre-order is over, Frankenstein Created Bikers will be on a BD-25 without DGN. I'm not sure if the BD-50 goes to retail and it'll be a limited edition, or if it's just for pre-orders through KS.

From Kickstarter:

Howdy backers! I wanted to give you an update on the discs. We ran into some problems with replication but manufacturing is under way at QRS in Los Angles, CA. During this process Japanese subtitles had to be omitted but French and Italian subtitles were added. You can also access "suspect" Dutch subtitles from your remote but there is no menu to access them. English, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles are still on there. The good news is that QRS has some really high quality standards and manufactures for the top Hollywood studios so we're expecting some top-shelf discs that will stand the test of time.

Speaking of time! The timeline we're looking at now is the discs should arrive via ground to our warehouse around February 28th and we'll immediately start addressing packages and sending them to our backers. If all goes according to plan, you should receive them 1-2 weeks before Amazon and other retail customers.

So I teased earlier about a special surprise on the disc....

We put together a special program under the extras called "Let's Go To The Drive-In". The inspiration for what I do has always been nostalgia of growing up at the drive-in the 70s so I wanted to capture that magic with a smutty twist. This feature will give you the experience of watching a grindhouse style double feature with fake snack bar ads, announcements, intermission and trailers for some of the films that I saw this past summer on the festival circuit. The trailers include Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein's BLOOD OF THE TRIBADES, Justin M. Seaman's THE BARN, Luciano Onetti's FRANCESCA, Ron Bonk's SHE-KILLS and Jonathan Straiton's NIGHT OF SOMETHING STRANGE. All these films fit nicely into this niche.

Double feature you said?

Yes, when you chose this option on the disc, the first film will be the FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS prequel DEAR GOD NO! in it's grindhouse version. This version has never been offered domestically on anything but VHS. It did end up on the U.K. and Australian DVD but it was cut by the British Board of Censorship. This is the first time it has been available in HD. After the intermission, the disc will go into FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS. This will gill the viewer 4 hours of entertainment! The perfect excuse for inviting your friends over, tapping a keg and projecting onto a sheet in the backyard.

One last thing. After you watch the film....
You know and I know there are now no Japanese subtitles...
So what happens when you click on the Japanese subtitles button under the set-up menu? I dunno...

Thank you for your patience. I can't wait to get these in your hands. Please post your discs on social media when you get them. Your buzz helps us sell discs which keeps us independents making films.

All the best,
James Bickert
