I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of B and exploitation films, but dang, you always manage to enlighten me to films I had never even heard of. And this film sounds kind of awesome. <br /><br />And good to see you posting again! If only I could follow suit. R.S.

I'm going to look up that Grant Page post on your blog.

I wrote up Grant Page over at the blog a couple of years ago - amazing man. I'd like to get a DVD for the video vault, but will have to wait for a super sale or lucky catch on Ebay as $35 is too steep for one movie. Excellent post Dick!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875942433636843700.post-41916095885123071132015-04-14T06:55:14.730-04:002015-04-14T06:55:14.730-04:00Hi JP,

Your right the homemade feel of the film does help it and I too have become a fan of it. The past year or so, I've really been getting into the Australian stuff.

I waffled on this one for awhile as Bill wants $35.00 for it whenever it periodically shows up in his store (I got one off ebay awhile back for about $20.00). The extras are almost better then the movie !Dick https://www.blogger.com/profile/00409849079342411514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875942433636843700.post-20510011744787792632015-04-14T04:00:13.666-04:002015-04-14T04:00:13.666-04:00Another one I'm a big fan of.

Grant Page is great (as a stunt man, not necessarily as an actor!) and I love his work in Mad Max. Interesting to see that Van Halen was considered for the band... Sorcery are OK, but I think a stronger act might have elevated the piece (though as you say, the bands theatrics probably helped with the cult nature of the film). The Code Red DVD goes for a hefty chunk of change these days. My DVD is an Australian release, which features the documentary 'Stunt Men' by BTS, which I really should watch.JP Mulvanettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381363705787780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875942433636843700.post-48142534994553810072015-04-13T22:01:22.024-04:002015-04-13T22:01:22.024-04:00I flirted with buying this one, Dick, and never di...I flirted with buying this one, Dick, and never did. I noticed Bill had some additional copies in his store (likely gone by now!) during one of the "blink and you'll miss it" moments when it's open. Fantastic write up, though.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
