Nice bargain set of films that inspired that great Tarantino
With Miramax licensing their catalogue to both Lionsgate and Echo Bridge Entertainment we have been seeing loads of bargain sets of their films pop up. Distraught on how Echo Bridge was handling many of the titles I waited until I read some reviews to see if buying this Lionsgate triple feature was worth it. Now I can confirm that it is!
The set is made of up three Exploitation films from the 70s that helped inspire director Quentin Tarantino, whose Rolling Thunder pictures re-released the films in the 90s. All three films were previously released on DVD in single editions and this new triple feature set has all three films on a single sided, duel layered disc. I was disappointed at first as I was hoping it would be a double disc set along the lines of Shout! Factory's Roger Corman sets but alas the quality of the transfers doesn't suffer too much from being crammed onto one disc and the set is FAR better than the bargain Miramax sets Echo Bridge has been pumping out...
Good Quality Schlock
I love that cheesiness and schlock seems to be making a come back and one of the people most responsible for that is Mr. Quentin Tarantino, he definitely has good taste as far as cheesy good/bad low budget movies go and this set is no exception, my favorite of the 3 is Switchblade Sisters and I've never seen it in near this quality, I think it alone is worth the price of the set, the producers really took their time and cleaned up these movies beautifully, all 3 movies look amazing, great set if your into non mainstream low budget flicks done well.
True Drive-In fare!
If you love grindhouse or drive-in action films, this is a nice set to have. It features the MIGHTY PEKING MAN, a King-Kong ripoff that is so bad it's kinda fun--especially with the good-looking and hardly-ever-clad Evelyn Craft around.
None of these films has the slightest bit of class--and that's why they're fun. Just go with it--and enjoy yourself.
