Leo Fong's REVENGE OF THE BUSHIDO BLADE, finally, the way it was meant to be seen!

For years, fans of Leo Fong actioner REVENGE OF THE BUSHIDO BLADE (aka LAST REUNION, NINJA NIGHTMARE) was stucked with a garnished, reddish ugly TV print that was available on video for years, well not anymore. We went back to the original negatives and did a 16x9 master, and as you can see from the results, the film now looks like it was shot yeserday! Now you can make out those dark night shots! Plus, the negatives contained additional nudity not seen before! Leo already recorded an audio commentary for this, so we hope fans of this actioner will now see the film in a new light!

CODE RED GOES TO THE "TERROR CIRCUS"

We didn't want to annouce this film so soon as it's not in our 2008 planned release schedule yet. However, we could not keep it a secret any longer and want to let the fans know we have made a deal with the rights owners of the missing exploitation film BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD (aka TERROR CIRCUS) directed by Alan Rudolph! This is the first authorized U.S home video release (according to the rights owner, the vhs wasn't even authorized) and we hope the vault elements the rights owner will be sending us will make this one fantastic DVD. Andrew Prine has politely declined to give us an interview for this film, but some of the other people involved have shown interest. Stay tuned!

Code Red looks into THE UNSEEN

Code Red has acquired the 1981 thriller THE UNSEEN, starring cult faves Barbara Bach, Sidney Lassick, Stephen Furst, Doug Barr and Karen Lamm. We will be doing a new 16x 9 master from the original IP, and special features to include an audio commentary with veteran producer Tony Unger and star Stephen Furst moderated by Lee Christian, photo gallery, and more extras TBA. This is a very twisted tale, and we hope it will find a new audience with this release!

Code Red gets LUCKY 13/RUNNING HOT

We have just acquired the 1984 drive-in action film RUNNING HOT (aka LUCKY 13) starring Eric Stoltz as a young man convicted of murdering his father, who's on the run from a sadistic cop (Stuart Margolin). Directed by Mark Griffin, we will be doing a new 16x9 master from the original negatives, with special features TBA.

Some screenshots of our up coming release of CAN I DO IT 'TILL I NEED GLASSES?

Here are some screen shots of our up coming title CAN I DO IT 'TILL I NEED GLASSES.The funny comedy stars such up coming comedic talent like Roger & Roger, Walter Olkewicz, Vic Dunlop, Tallie Cochrane, Ollie Planter, and a young Robin Williams before MORK & MINDY! We had access to the original vault materials, and we did a new 16 x 9 telecine. Extras TBA.

Dir: James Bryan / 1982 / Color / 88 min. / 35mm

11pm | Only $5!!!

Everyone has nightmares about the ugliest way to die.

Four young co-eds set of into the wilderness for a weekend of camping, hiking and sexual hi-jinks. However, their idyllic summer fun quickly turns into a living nightmare when they encounter a crazed killer on a rampage of slaughter and destruction! 13 unlucky victims will meet their grizzly ends as they're dispatched by fire, knife, windshield, machette and sharpened stick! This gore-soaked and notorious "video nasty" transcends all known limits of cheese and almost becomes an art-form separate from film. . . and logic!

We have a new email address

From now on, please email us at codereddvd@yahoo.com , instead of our previous hotmail, as we had many difficulties with that email service. Thanks.

Some screenshots of our up coming DVD of BEYOND THE DOOR

Here are some screenshots of our up coming release of BEYOND THE DOOR. Unlike the Japanese DVD, as you can see, our release is 16x9 anamorphic. It is the longer DEVIL WITHIN HER cut (about 10 minutes longer)!

We are still adding more extras on this DVD release, including a planned interview with Richard Johnson, in addition to the already filmed interview with Juliet Mills, Alex Rebar and an audio commentary with JULIET MILLS with Film historian DARREN GROSS and HOSTEL producer SCOTT SPIEGEL as well as a second audio commentary with OVIDIO ASSONITIS with Mondo Digital's NATHANIEL THOMPSON, both moderated by LEE CHRISTIAN. And who knows, we might be adding even more extas to make this the ultimate release of this cult title! Stay tuned!

some screenshots from THE VISITOR

Here are some screenshots from our transfer of THE VISITOR. We did a brand new 16x9 transfer, and we feel techicolor Rome did a fantastic job, and by going back to the negatives, the film is much much longer than ever before! About 17 min longer than the U.S cut in fact! And it is even longer than the UK version by 8 min! Not only is Franco Nero now in the beginning of the film, telling the children about the plot but as you can see from the above screenshots, Sam Peckinpah has all his scenes back in as well!

The DVD will feature a full length commentary by star PAIGE CONNER moderated by SCOTT SPIEGEL and JEFF BURR, as well as scene specific commentary with star JOANNE NAIL, as well as on camera interview with both!

Leo Fong invites you to enjoy the real Grindhouse!

We just finished the telecine work on Leo Fong's TIGER'S REVENGE. We were going to inspect the print, but Leo went ahead and gave it to the lab without allowing us to QC it, and the result was, well, interesting. Yes, it is 16x9, but the print has green lines and many jumpcuts. Not only that, reel 2 and 3 were mixed up and in the wrong order! When we showed all of this to Leo, he approved of it, stating this is the way the film was probably shown in most Grindhouses! So unlike some DVD's which have used a full frame tape master for their so called Grindhouse DVD's, we at Code Red bring you a true 16 x 9, just like seeing it on the big screen, of Leo's 'classic' film, complete with authentic pops, skips, and green motion scratch lines! Leo calls it a "Leo Fong experience!" Check out these screenshots! And wait until you here his audio commentary! And if you think this looks to be in rough shape (considering it was suppose to be from the best out of 3 different set of prints), you haven't seen nothing yet! Just wait until you see the condition of the prints for THE REDEEMER which look 10 times worse!
