I found some images online from the Japanese manga adaptation (turns out Mike and the Bots were wrong; GSI did get an international release!), and I would kill for the full thing, untranslated or not.

Obscenely, Stingray Japan's BD of GSI includes the comic book.

Hey Jason, We have a deal where certain Dark Force releases will be going to the major stores through MVD. The first 5 titles will be available on March 17. As of right now Teenage Hitchhikers and Hollywood High will only be available at the Dark Force store but that could be subject to change. Best, Tom, General Manager, Dark Force

Demon, when did Dark Force stop being customs friendly?

Just got hit with a £19 customs fee for 5 titles.

ps: Happy New Year to Bill and yourself

Thanks for the info!

First time buying from Dark Force for me over xmas, just received Steel Arena blu ray in the post in the UK. Can't wait to check the film out, also well packaged & no customs charges. Really pleased, i will definitely use again if there's something i want.

Snagged the Teenage Hitchhikers/Loners Drive-In bundle. Good deal!

I’ve ordered plenty times before and never been hit with customs until now. They always ship really quick and always been customs friendly.

Maybe because I ordered 5 titles? Shame either way but such is life.

What was the value marked on the label?

Still awaiting the package mate but had the card come through today and it came up as from Dark Force. Will let you know what the label says when I receive it.

Just disappointed as £19 would have paid for another title. VS sends me a good few titles each month and I never get hit with customs.

Will update when it is in hand.

With HOLLYWOOD HIGH hopefully coming soon, what are the chances of Dark Force releasing another Peter Perry film from the mid-1970's, THE YOUNG CYCLE GIRLS?

THE YOUNG CYCLE GIRLS seems like a template for Tarantino's DEATH PROOF, but no spoilers from me.

The TV cut of the film, CYCLE VIXENS, deleted all of the nudity/swearing/violence. The theatrical version, as THE YOUNG CYCLE GIRLS, is a different experience entirely.

Cheers mate.

I'll let you know for sure on Thursday when the package arrives but when I entered payment info for it, the sender was listed as Dark Force.

[JoelGoodsen]

Demon/Tom, here you go. First time I have been hit with custom fees ordering from Dark Force. Hopefully not a sign of things to come.

[Davidian]

Damn, they really know how to shaft you don’t they? 18 quid on a $50US order? Jebus.

[DukeTogo84]

Have there been any updates on Death Rage and Redneck? Really looking forward to owning those.

Don't look at it as a customs charge, look at it as an Autograph Fee. We here in the states would never get Dave's autograph with each purchase.

Cool. Thanks. From the sounds of it, this won't be coming out in January. Glad it will include the Italian cut, but still wish it also had the complete Italian audio.

[DukeTogo84]

Also, it looks to have the Italian cover for the release? (Death Rage) That's interesting. It looks like it's embracing the Italian title and the Italian cut of the film, but won't have the Italian audio? That doesn't make that much sense to me.
