Viewing Notes

Was shocked as hell to see this on the shelf at the Erie Library. This is a Discotek release (not cheap or easily obtainable) and really far from the typical titles that High Plains District carries. Definitely had to be a special order by someone who really wanted to see it.

I have a bootleg dvd I got on eBay 20+ years ago. I’d upgrade to this Blu if the price was more reasonable (discotek films start around $30 and are never on sale). Hadn’t seen this since the pre-logging days so I was overdue for a revisit anyways. Forgot how horny this story is but certainly makes it more fun. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the English dub so I watched a good two thirds in English. It’s good!

Holy crap this Blu-ray goes for $60 atm via Amazon. But Discotek released a 4K UHD and it’s only $34.99. Nuts!
