I think I caught three. One when they're loading up the van, two when the first kid gets killed in the woods, and there was a third one but I can't quite remember where it popped up.

The real question Mushi Minion is why would you look at a B-movie that microscopically when it's filled with production flaws naturally anyway. The poor thing never looked better with a new HD scan from the original negative with extensive scene by scene color correction yet you were able to find a couple of tiny glitches literally on a few single frames that would be tough to find if you had to. I truly hope you are not that critical when you look in the mirror.

I watched the stream of Hollywood High (1976) and it looked horrible. The color was so washed out it looked like it had no color at all. I was thrilled at the work Dark Force did on the blu. Even with the print damage, it looks gorgeous and you guys are my heroes. Sadly, the color in Classroom Teasers (It's called The Student Body! The main character yells that at one point) leaves a lot to be desired. Oh well, it did have a high bitrate but perhaps Mushi Minion could still point out some compression issues lol.

Are you ever going to send my replacement movie that you said you'd send three times now?

Certainly hope that this isn't what I have to look forward to.... Ordered a bundle recently and one of the blus wasn't what I ordered. Just received and email response yesterday from DF that stated they would mail me the correct one.

You're absolutely right, and for that you have my most sincere .

It's hanging from the top of the cage. Step inside and grab it...if you dare.

Watched Double Nickels last night. It was way better than I thought. Fun watch, lots of car chases that were nicely filmed. Its a keeper for the collection.

You're calling out a customer for pointing out the flaws (however minor) on a Blu-ray you produced when it was you who should have caught the issues when QC-ing the disc? Just owe up to it and say you'll do a better job next time. Better yet ignore it and do a better job next time. People pay good money for these things and deserve better that your "whatever, dude, you're being too anal about the glitches on a Blu-ray of a flawed B-movie my company produced" attitude. Mistakes happen, but don't pass the buck to your customers for noticing glitches you yourself should have caught.

quentin tarantino briefly mentioned blank generation on his new podcast (he hated it)

Have no idea on here who you are or what the problem was. If there was an issue with something contact us either through Facebook or via email and we will resolve it. We don't recall anyone having to request an issue 3 times to be resolved so you can hit us up on Facebook or via email at defal3@aol.com and we will look right into it.

Don't worry about it Savage_Blu. We always take care of our good customers. Have had a lot of major issues with Banana Man's deteriorated health lately, but your replacement will be shipped this week.

Hey Mark these are very expensive limited edition runs on these movies and many of them do have microscopic flaws that even if we did find them in QC they would not be cost effective enough to fix based on the numbers we sell. Obviously any significant issues we would not let get by but some of the very tiny ones that you really only can see unless you are looking at one frame at a time under a microscope are not worth fixing as they will not affect the viewing of the movie one way or the other. And if you want to be anal enough there are tons of flaws in these releases that would be impossible to cost effectively fix.

Demon, everyone is antsy because we are all waiting for KILL CRAZY! I have a feeling it is no longer on the table though.....

[RickDalton19]

As mentioned above, I love the heck out of Hollywood High (1976) and Classroom Teasers (1976) so more like that, please. I'm not sure what's available, but I'm sure you guys can rescue something I love even if I haven't heard of it. Thank you.

Maybe that's why it taking three requests regarding the missing title....

Thank you sir!

Can't wait for Hundra! Hopefully you have a few copies of Ator with the slip floating around?? Would be cool to put those in a 2-pac bundle with Hundra so I could snag one
