I'm very excited about it, for what it's worth. That and The Stuff I'll be getting as soon as they're out, probably Narc as well.

[Bradsdadg]

I've been hoping for an upgrade to The Stuff for a while now. Definitely a cool announcement

[WJB]

Looks like I'll be getting yet another version of ZFE! Hoping for superb artwork - I've never been a huge fan of the Jerry Gross 'We Are Going To Eat You!' USA art.

As far as I can remember, I've already bought:

- VIPCO cut VHS 1993
- VIPCO cut LBX VHS 1993
- Edde Entertainment uncut NTSC VHS 1994
- Roan LD 1998
- Anchor Bay DVD 2000
- Shriek Show DVD 2004
- BU DVD 2005?
- BU BD 2011
- Arrow BD 2015
- BU BD 2018
- BU UHD 2020

I think this is my personal record. No wonder this hobby isn't too popular with my wife.

You can't please everyone. That should be the motto on this forum!

Or the entire trilogy with Baywatch.

I've had 8 of those - plus the 'less cut' version VIPCO put out and part of Anchor Bay's Video Nasty boxset.
