Canada Customs should leave you alone if you just order the one title.
I think Twilight Time just holds the rights for a one-time pressing of 3,000 copies. Not sure how that works out in terms of time they hold the rights for.

Generally, Twilight Time has exclusive North American rights to the movies they release for a period of three years.

Really need to get Rapid Fire for my action collection but man, that's a tough one to shell out $35 for. Hope it lasts to a sale.

I'm hoping for the same. I'm ordering when either a sale or a low quantity alert hits, whichever comes first.

The Great Owl · 08-08-2018, 08:40 PM

I just placed an order for...

Gloria
The Hot Rock
Appassionata
The Most Beautiful Wife

GODHOOD · 08-08-2018, 08:43 PM

Had to order Rapid Fire and Gloria I'm sure there'll probably be a sale sometime but can't take the chance of it selling out.

Gorgon · 08-08-2018, 09:47 PM

Ordered Rapid Fire but also HAD to get Genghis Khan...

Hokey as hell but absolutely loved it in the cinema when I was a boy (as I did all the sword & sandal fliks) and bought a Chinese bootleg first chance I got!

javi92 · 08-09-2018, 12:22 AM

Ordered GLORIA, THE HOT ROCK, and TAKE A GIRL LIKE YOU

skads_187 · 08-09-2018, 06:01 PM

picked up Rapid Fire yesterday at 4pm. EST. I have to say, I had a tough time, with shipping and currency conversion, Im paying 50 CAD.

I just hope this is significantly better than whats offered digitally.

You know of all the MGM films that TT didn't have the chance to release...I'm surprised this wasn't one

There's always someone left who doesn't know the MGM catalogue no longer belongs to MGM.

It was released by UA. You must be fun at parties.

Speaking of which... is there a guide to what studio catalogs have been subsumed by other studios anywhere?

Your best bet is to just look up the distributor/production companies wiki page. It doesn't sound like much but that's the only thing I can think of instead of a dedicated website or thread.

Yeah, I've resorted to that often, but I find myself forgetting what I found out, and you sometimes have to dig into the written history to find what from when is where. It'd be nice to have just a list somewhere of e.g. "MGM Pre-1986 --> Warner; Paramount pre-1940 --> Universal"

Approx 100 copies left of AT CLOSE RANGE per TT @ Facebook

Nope, it was released by MGM/UA (UA was bought by MGM in 1982). The production company (Twilight Time Ltd) had joint copyright and the fact that MGM never released this title on dvd it means they no longer hold the rights to it.
