Classic and enduring films like Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (with the existing Joe Bob commentary ported over please) and my all time favorite, Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla. Thanks Kino for looking after us film fans of more refined tastes, you are the best !!

I'd rather see a Tom Weaver commentary, as he wrote an excellent biography on Carradine. I do love me some Joe Bob but have to admit his commentary for the Elite DVD of Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter to be a bit disappointing, mostly regurgitating IMDb facts. But it did have its humorus moments...so, hell, get 'em both.

In a PERFECT world, KLSC would also include Carradine's appearance on the Letterman show in which he calls this his worst movie. Though I happen to love it meself.

And if leading lady Melinda Casey/Plowman could be tracked down for an interview...even better!

Which version of Untamed Heart is on the blu-ray? The review on this site doesn't say.

Worse than Red Zone Cuba…?

So excited for THE EARTHLING next week. Don’t forget to secure a copy if, like me, you have fond memories of being horrified and depressed by this movie as a child and want to experience the trauma all over again! It’s going to be like seeing it for the first time.

KL Insider,
Might we see Warlords of the Deep (aka Warlords of Atlantis) coming soon from Kino?

Thanks!

While the Blu-ray case has the PG-13 logo, this looks like it might be the European Cut; there is a topless scene involving Marisa Tomei in the version on the disc.

Yeah, I don't recall having seen Marisa Tomei topless in this film. Kinda threw me back.

I really love this film. And I love Kino for bringing them out on Blu-ray. Another MGM title I'd love to see on Blu-ray is Jason's Lyric with Jada Pinkett. Wonderful film.

We can only hope.

Question about another Kino release: is it true The Doctor (1991) has a 2.0 mono track? If so, why on earth? The film was released in 1991 with a modern Dolby Stereo track.

I'm buying this regardless... but I had kinda hoped you'd get interviews with Steve Guttenberg and Elizabeth McGovern.

Already secured my copy and it's already been shipped. I should have it in time for release day.

John Carradine's worst film is arguably IS THIS TRIP REALLY NECESSARY, a dreadfully unfunny comedy which manages to incorporate LSD and torture devices. Carradine plays a demented movie director. An actress named Carol Kane also appears in it, but the famous Carol Kane (THE MAFU CAGE) has never acknowledged that she was in that film.

IS THIS TRIP did surface on VHS back in the waning days of the format, via a direct-mail ad in one of the genre magazines. This was after Tom Weaver had written his book on Carradine. I believe that IS THIS TRIP might have been the only Carradine film that Weaver hadn't seen when he wrote his book.

No kidding... I think Carradine is second only to Cameron Mitchell when it comes to the most bizarrely varied filmography.

There are probably a dozen or so Disney catalog titles with this problem, affecting various Kino Lorber and Mill Creek releases of 80s/90s live action films. No idea why it happened but seems like an issue with the masters Disney provided.

The first mention of IS THIS TRIP REALLY NECESSARY (1970) that I ever saw was in Michael Weldon's first Psychotronic book. I don't think he had seen the film, because his write-up was essentially a plot resume that might have been borrowed from a pressbook synopsis. Unfortunately, that blurb made the film sound more like a dark sleaze film (think BLOODY PIT OF HORROR). In part, Weldon wrote "...Carradine plays an insane director working on an epic sex film who gives actresses LSD, then kills them with an iron maiden in his private torture chamber."

I had no idea from that quote that the film would prove to be an embarassingly unfunny farce. The IMDB lists the title as BLOOD OF THE IRON MAIDEN.

BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA is a masterpiece, compared to IS THIS TRIP REALLY NECESSARY.

Yeah, John Carradine must have forgotten that he starred in Astro Zombies (which I proudly own) when he called BtKvsD his worst film....

Kino Lorber Insider,

Following up on my earlier question about The Bat (1959)...am I correct in thinking Disney has the elements because it was financed by AB-PT and Disney now owns the AB-PT film library (or maybe I'm all wrong here)? I'm just curious if this means AB-PT's four other films would be available from Disney in the future:

Beginning of the End (Bert I. Gordon's giant locust movie)
The Unearthly (the John Carradine-Tor Johnson horror flick)
Eighteen and Anxious (50s teen melodrama)
Girl in the Woods (Tom Gries's lumberjack movie)

Usually, many other retailers are offering better pre-order prices than Amazon these days who have really slipped over the last year.
