Aw I had no idea

See if you can look into getting A.P.E.X. (1994) I don't think it's ever been released on DVD or Blu-Ray here in the US.

First of all, It's a different licensor so I can't put it in the same box set. And the production value doesn't seem to be on par with the others (especially part one). As an experienced producer I can tell you that the echo in the dialogue in the trailer (listen at about the :15 mark when she says "move and I'll crush your throat) probably won't pass QC on several digital outlets including iTunes.

Again, I commend the filmmakers for their effort here, but I think the series deserves a bigger budget reboot. If you want me to chase this film, I will. Watch the trailer and share your thoughts (but be nice... making movies is HARD... there are several that I poured my heart and soul into as a producer that didn't quite work out as I had hoped so I have compassion for anyone that makes films).

After seeing that trailer, no, I don't.

Another thing I like about this label: you can actually communicate with a point of contact, and suggest titles to him. Even if he can't get them, he will still respond and recognize the request. This is what Vestron is lacking, where no one knows what's going on, and no one has any information of any kind.

[RedHarvest]

Nemesis 5 is a sequel in name only. Does not belong with the others.

Since everyone's posting their wishlists, here's some of mine. Also, I'm not too keen on what can be licensed from whom, so forgive me for any obvious 'no way' choices

• Get Crazy (1983), never even released on DVD
• Times Square (1980), only available on a long out-of-print DVD
• End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2003), only available on non-anamorphic DVD
• The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1980)
• Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982)
• Suburbia (1984)
• Parasite (1982)
• SLC Punk (1998)
• Weirdsville (2007)

[JoelGoodsen]

Can't believe these don't have a release as of yet. Used to love discovering flicks like these in the video store

I reckon Eric has seen a couple of those.

In addition to some of the great suggestions in this thread, and since MVD Rewind is certainly open to releasing 90s fare, I'm wondering if there's any chance we might see some of Shannon Tweed's erotic flicks hit Blu.

Possessed By The Night certainly has weird genre elements, and would be a cool place to start. I'd welcome the lot of them, though.

I'm with you, the production value shown in the trailer is not in the same league at all... it looks more like a "porn parody" type production. ;-)

Wow, I hadn't heard this. That's really unfortunate because I've been wanting The Willies on Blu-ray for forever. It's a fun little flick.

[WesReviews]

I wish Jason Schwartzman and Talia Shire would license this one to MVD Rewind...

[deltatauhobbit]

Any chance for Six-String Samurai or Spaceman? Not too many films from the Palm Pictures library has been released on blu-ray so no idea on whether they'd be willing to license them out, doesn't look like they're in any rush to do it themselves.

I'd pick it up for sure!
Also wish someone would release 1984's Night Patrol with Linda Blair, Pat Paulsen and Murray Langston.

[GODHOOD]

No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers this needs a proper release, even though it has a ridiculous story.

I don't know anything about what it takes to obtain rights for releasing movies, so maybe these aren't possible. But since there's so many requests being thrown out, here's a couple I'd like to see.

Long Gone:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093433/?ref_=nv_sr_1

The Quest:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091810/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Neither have had a proper DVD release to the best of my knowledge. The Quest did have a very poor quality DVD release overseas.

Wow, how have never even heard of The Quest??? Seems like something I would love.

[Marsupial Werewolf]

The Quest is excellent!

My dad rented that for me wayyyyy back in the day based on the cover alone and it wound up becoming one of my childhood favorites.

Sadly, I haven't seen it since the 80s.

I'll have to try and track it down somehow.

[Blu-Dre]

Over The Edge (1979) seems right up MVD Rewind's alley. It's a cult classic, with a great soundtrack, never released on BD. I don't know if it's still with Warner Bros, the DVD was over ten years ago.

Totally agree, The Quest (aka Frog Dreaming aka The Go-Kids) is quite awesome that deserves to be on blu-ray, it's basically Australia's version of The Goonies.
