[jaws3dfan]

The following is the official website for the re-release of Comin' At Ya! in 3-D.

http://www.cominatyanoir3d.com/

The site contains a 5 minute promo reel of the film.
In flat only. Just keep in mind it will be in 3-D in the theatres.
Some slight changes have been made to the film (for the better).
Think what George Lucas did to Star Wars in 97' only this time it won't suck.

After you view the promo take the time to explore the site.
They have a gallery of the new film's posters as well as a short history on how this re-release came about.

As the weeks go by much more will be added so be sure to register yourself on their mailing list so you can be one of the firsts to be notified of the additions.
Soon they will have an online store that sells posters, t-shirts, baseball caps and even the films rousing score by Carlo Savina.
A video gallery will be added eventually and will feature radio and tv spots from the original theatrical release of Comin' At Ya! back in 81'.
Behind the scenes footage, interviews and video reviews of other Spaghetti Westerns will be made available for download.

The site also has great sounds to set the mood on every page, so be sure to have your volume up!
At the moment the sound is only for Internet Explorer users.


Check it out and register with them!
And come back often!

I STILL remember commercials for this movie!

And then it seemed like it disappeared...

Maybe that's part of being a kid at the time but don't ever remeber it actually making it to theaters. I thought it looked so cool back then.

I'm sure it did and I just don't rmemeber.

Probably because it was a cheap import spaghetti-western from the makers of "Treasure of the Four Crowns".

(But it made enough onscreen-gimmick money to singlehandedly spawn the 3D Second Renaissance from '82-'84, that us older folk remember so fondly.)

Yep it sure did and it made 12 million dollars at the box office which would be like 44 million today, not bad for a low budget 3-D movie. I can't wait to see it in Digital 3-D.

The same producer/star Tony Anthony also made and starred in TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS in 3-D which is another fun 80's film, sort of a rip off of Indiana Jones but still fun.

And the fact that it played at ONLY 200 theatres is even more of an achievement.

I saw JAWS 3-D, AMITYVILLE 3-D and SPACEHUNTER all on opening weekend but I never got to see Metalstorm or Treasure of the Four Crowns in 3-D. I hope this is the start of a trend where all the studios re-release these kick a$$ 80's 3-D movies in digital 3-D!!

And don't forget Starchaser: The Legend of Orin - a full-length animated feature from 1985.

I remember it, and.....it wasn't.
Still, I remember the ripple of "Ooo... " when our local first-night audience saw their first opening depth shot.

Now, Warner re-releasing the Vincent Price "House of Wax", OTOH...

You can thank Tony Anthony for making that possible.

Treasure of the Four Crowns took a beating by a lot critics only becasue they didn't like 3-D or they thought it was a Raiders of the lost ark clone but it really stand on it's own as an action adventure movie.

This is what Roger Ebert said":

"It's fun to find a 3-D movie that doesn't beat around the bush. Within 60 seconds after "Treasure of the Four Crowns" begins, the movie is throwing things at the audience. This is, of course, in the great tradition of 3-D movies that began in 1953 with "Bwana Devil," a horrible movie that made a lot of money by throwing stones, spears and elephants at the audience. You want to get your money's worth.

Here is my rough checklist of things thrown at the audience in "Treasure of the Four Crowns": knives, spears, darts, bones, jeweled daggers, balls of fire, laser beams, boulders, ropes, attack dogs, bats, shards of stained glass, a set of dishes, a large kettle, a stove, a corpse, a python snake, an empty glove, birds (both real and artificial), arrows, unidentifiable glowing objects shot from guns, keys, letter openers, several human heads, skeletons, large sections of an exploding castle, one bottle of booze and assorted spoons.

In the midst of this melee exists a plot, hanging on for life, about an age-old search for the secret of four crowns. Legend has it that the Visigoths placed several great eternal secrets on scrolls that were locked within silver balls mounted on magic crowns designed to protect them. The Moors destroyed one crown centuries ago, unwisely trying to pry it open.

The movie is about the three surviving crowns. It stars Tony Anthony, who in his younger and leaner days was one of the second-tier stars of spaghetti Westerns, equal to Gian Maria Volente but far below Clint Eastwood. Now Anthony has the Harrison Ford role, in a movie that's sort of a rip-off of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It's a rip-off in story and approach, that is, but you've got to give it credit: "Treasure of the Four Crowns" is a hardworking action movie with a lot of elaborate sets, a lot of special effects, and a superior 3-D process.

The process, a one-camera 3-D method that uses sort of grayish glasses instead of the familiar red and green lenses of the great 3-D movies of the past, has been used so far in two box-office hits: "Comin' at Ya" and "Friday the 13th, Part 3." It's especially good at creating the illusion that objects are actually hurtling off the screen and into the audience. There are moments when spears dangle in front of us, almost as close as our noses, and the audience squeals with delight. The process is so effective in its illusion of depth that it makes up for a certain dark murkiness in its picture quality.

Unfortunately, "Treasure of the Four Crowns" is so much in love with its dandy new process that it spends too much time using it and too little time getting on with its story. That's a common failing of 3-D movies, which forget that they have to be movies, first and foremost, and not just special effects shows.

With a whole slew of new 3-D movies set for this summer ("Jaws 3-D" and "Amityville 3-D" among them), I'm afraid that by mid-July I'll be very tired of having things hurled at me (especially, I have a feeling, things like sharks and green vomit). In fact, with its cheerful high energy, "Treasure of the Four Crowns" may not only be the first of the 1983 3-D wave but one of the best."

Or, because it was really vague, crappy and Italian.

House of Wax aside (and yes, they tried bringing Andy Warhol back, too), it's hard to say what was the "best" of the 80's Renaissance, but conventional wisdom had the process on "Friday the 13th 3" as the better of the pack.

(Starchaser was too View-mastery, Spacehunter had less plot than Metalstorm, Amityville was pure you-gotta-be-kidding-us, and nobody even saw Steve Guttenburg in "The Man Who Wasn't There".)

Sounds like we've got an anti-Italian bigot here guys

Anyway, to elaborate what I said about HOUSE OF WAX before...

This COMIN' AT YA! re-release is not just great news but it's also historically significant because it is the first time ANYBODY has taken the "Over and Under" 3-D format and digitized it.

Because of Tony's innovation we can now go back to classic 3-D films like Dial M For Murder, Man In The Dark and House Of Wax and do the same to them.

In fact, the makers of the The Stewardesses already approached us and asked "how did you manage this?"

Back in the glory days, our local big-city arthouse cashed in on the renaissance with a one-month festival of the major Big-studio 3-D movies, Dial M, Kiss Me Kate, and Lumber-Jack Rabbit included.
(..And wouldn't you know, I had to miss it. )

Anyone who can bring that back deserves their ten bucks.

Here, here!

Getting a little off topic...

Has anybody ever seen the remake of House Of Wax?
House Of Wax (2005) has very little to do with the Vincent Price original and has more in common with a little known horror movie called Tourist Trap.

I'd recommend TP by the way. It gets a lot of flack but Chuck Connors is worth the price of admission.
