New blog post.
Calum writes that one of these 10 films are set for a 88 films release. We can exclude some of them outright, leaving:

Street Law (Enzo G. Castellari, 1974)

The Gestapo's Last Orgy (Cesare Canevari, 1976)

The Heroin Busters (Enzo G. Castellari, 1978)

Contraband (Lucio Fulci, 1980)

The Bronx Warriors (Enzo G. Castellari, 1982)

Eleven Days, Eleven Nights (Joe D'Amato 1987)

Killer Crocodile (Fabrizio De Angelis, 1989)

Maybe we can exclude even more? There's a somewhat recent DVD release of Contraband by Shameless.

Hopefully, it’s Street Law. But I’d happily settle for The Heroin Busters or The Bronx Warriors.

88 had this image on their Facebook so it's possible it could be Killer Crocodile.

Ah, I thought it was something new.

Well I received a notification last night that a copy of Dragon Missile that I apparently placed with amazon.co.uk back in the beginning of January (no recollection of this) has shipped.

I contacted 88 Films to see if they could swap movies on my order since one of them is out of stock and preventing the order from shipping. Funny enough I only ordered that film to hit free shipping because Five Element Ninjas was out of stock, which is in stock now. I don't know if they will, their contact page communication has always been hit or miss for me. Sometimes they answer and other times they don't.

Just received Dragon Missile and Sea Fog from Amazon. Both came with slips, which I wasn't expecting.

Your post reminded me that I ordered Touch of Death over two months ago on Amazon, but it is still out of stock there. Hopefully they will get more stock in eventually.

Alice looks like its SOLD OUT.

splintersan · 03-26-2018, 12:54 PM

I heard from 88 Films this morning, they said they will swap the movies I ordered and ship out today! So excited. I've put off watching Alice Sweet Alice for years in hopes for a blu. Has any one received their copy and care to comment on A/V quality?

Still nothing for me (I'm on the Northeast US coast). Some US posters boast that they get stuff from the UK in about a week. It's never happened for me

I've never ordered from 88 directly before but my normal delivery time from ship in UK to delivery in NY is usually 2 weeks.

It went really fast. I ordered on Thursday and I believe they sold out that night.

I've been trying to get touch of death since December. Had it on order with Amazon for 2 months then ordered through hmv when it was added to the 5 for 30 and I only just got a dispatch email on Friday. I saw 88 are getting more copies pressed so that's good

nekromantik · 03-26-2018, 06:08 PM

Offerings has no slip.

meeksyneil · 03-26-2018, 06:25 PM

Hi, does anyone know if the One Armed Swordsman Slip-cover is a 88films website exclusive or will it be available from retailers for the first print run like the Dragon Missile Bluray was?

My copy from HMV turned up today with a slip sealed under the cellophane.

FOPP posted a picture on Twitter showing them in-store with slipcovers, so YMMV.

Got my copy of Alice Sweet Alice in the mail today (alongside the US Limited Edition of Deep Red).

Keep up the good work, 88 Films.
