Lady Reporter is a 1989 USA / Hong Kong action comedy by Hoi Mang (as Hoi Man)
Starring Cynthia Rothrock, Siu-Ho Chin and Hoi Mang
Exists as a shorter Hong Kong Version and a longer Export Version. Summary Notes Rothrock stars as Cindy, an American FBI agent who travels to Hong Kong to arrest a
criminal newspaper editor, Ronny Dak (filmmaker Ronny Yu) who prints counterfeit money using the newspaper's presses (a dubious notion, but storyline is not the film's strong point). While investigating Dak's crimes, Cindy hooks up with her old friend
Judy Yu (Elizabeth Lee), an undercover cop (Chin Siu-ho), and an intrepid journalist (director Mang Hoi) to battle his kung-fu henchmen.

28th May 2024
Promotional Material *This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful
restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. When the FBI learns of an international counterfeiting operation being run through a Hong Kong newspaper, they send one of their leading agents, Cindy,
undercover as a reporter in order to investigate. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Cindy quickly becomes a headline herself after being photographed by a rival tabloid saving a child from a burning building. It doesn't take long for the criminals to realize
what is happening and soon they are after Cindy and her good friend Judy. To make matters worse, Judy's father is the lead prosecutor trying to convict the head of the counterfeiting ring and the criminals will stop at nothing to remove him from the
case. With the help of a few new friends, Cindy soon finds herself facing off against a wave of henchmen and hitmen all hellbent on stopping her from exposing the truth. LADY REPORTER (aka Blonde Fury ) was
Cynthia Rothrock's first official leading role, as well as one of her last Hong Kong productions before switching to American-made films. Directed by actor and stunt coordinator Mang Hoi ( Yes, Madam! ) and featuring

college-bound life spirals out of control when his parents go out of town for the week and an enterprising call girl (Rebecca De Mornay) invites him to walk on the wild side. While Cruise boogying in his briefs yielded one of the most iconic pop-cultural
moments of the 1980s, it is the film's unexpected mix of tender romance (enhanced by a moody synth score by Tangerine Dream) and sharp-witted capitalist critique that remains fresh and daring. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

develops for her, leading to the two being intimate and eventually sleeping together. In one sequence, a woman feigns death during sex with the teenager, which includes bloody detail. The latter and other sexual scenes place emphasis on female breast and
buttock nudity. Other sexually abusive and sexist behaviour involves teenage boys leering at women, sometimes in states of undress, through bedroom windows, binoculars and from photographs. Although the treatment of these issues can be considered as a
reflection of the time period in which the film is set, the behaviour is not clearly condemned.
UK: Passed 18 after 3:20s of previous BBFC cuts were repeated prior to submission for:
No further BBFC cuts were made when re-submitted in 2006. However the version submitted was pre-cut to eliminate the same material as the previous version. The increased running time is additional, uncontentious footage. UK: Passed 18 after

- 1992 Braveworld VHS
- 1987 CIC VHS
- 1982 cinema release
The BBFC cuts were:
- Cuts were made in several scenes under the Protection of Children Act. Basically every shot where you could see Kristel's nudity and the boy in the same shot was removed. The scenes affected were the striptease, the bath scene and the two sex scenes.
In the storyline the boy was meant to be 15 years old

US: Some DVD releases are reported to feature a version with Sylvia Krystal nudity replaced with a body double others have pixellated the nudity. Summary Notes But just to let you
know, it has been altered from the version, which is on VHS tape. It has also been revealed that Silvia Kristal had a body double, her name is Judy Helden. However, Ms. Helden only appears in two scenes in the movie, and they are not the famous scenes
which those of us in the 35 to 40 age group, who love the movie all know. Miss Helden's scenes appear towards the end of the movie, where we see aroused nipples on a breast, in one shot of the backside that does not match up with Sylvia Kristal's.

UK: BBFC PG rated for mild rude humour for mild rude humour after BBFC category cuts:
- 2024 Artificial Eye Film Co. cinema release (rated 30/01/2024)
The BBFC commented: The company obscured rude gestures in order to achieve their preferred category of PG. An uncut 12A classification was available.
Thanks to Jon: The BBFC were initially set to give the film an uncut 12A rating. However, when Artificial Eye heard the film was going to be a 12A, it was Artificial Eye who said they wanted a PG, because the film would be ideal for younger kids, as the film was due to be released during the February school Half-Term. It was at that point, that the BBFC stated to Artificial Eye, that if they wanted a PG, the middle finger gesture would need to be removed.
Artificial Eye went back to the director, explained the situation, and between him and Artificial Eye, they agreed that the best solution would be to animate a black rectangle over the offending moment, so that adults would still
get the joke, but kids would not, and the censorship would appease the BBFC without any cuts being made to the film's duration. The animators added-in the black rectangle, the film was resubmitted, and the film was passed with the
new censored middle finger scene as a PG. The film could easily have been left uncut with a 12A, and it would not have affected anything. But the distributor stupidly wanted a kid-friendly rating, despite the fact most kids
couldn't follow the film and didn't find it especially entertaining. So Artificial Eye really ballsed-up here.
Thanks to Scott, Jake and Chris. The rude gesture was in fact the robot showing his middle finger when
copying members of a street gang. The director was involved in deciding how to obscure the gesture by covering it up. The solution to cover up the gesture with a black strip proved more than acceptable as it gets a laugh from viewers realising that the
robot is making the gesture and that this has been censored.
Ireland: The cut UK version was IFCO G rated for consumer advice: explores themes of friendship and loss with positive resolution:

Soldier Blue is a 1970 USA western by Ralph Nelson.
Starring Candice Bergen, Peter Strauss and Donald Pleasence.
Reportedly cut in the US for an MPAA rating in 1970. These cuts have
long since been forgotten and the R rated version is the best available. The film was cut for an MPAA PG rating in 1974 but the R rating was restored in 1976. The R rated version was cut by the BBFC for X rated cinema release and 18 rated VHS. The
BBFC cuts for sexual violence were waived in 2004 for 18 rated DVD releases but new cuts were required for horse falls. In 2024 further BBFC cuts were required for previously unnoticed indecent images of a child.
Summary Notes
After a cavalry group is massacred by the Cheyenne, only two survivors remain: Honus, a naive private devoted to his duty, and Cresta, a young woman who had lived with the Cheyenne two years and whose sympathies lie
more with them than with the US government. Together, they must try to reach the cavalry's main base camp. As they travel onward, Honus is torn between his growing affection for Cresta, and his disgust for her anti-American beliefs. They reach the
cavalry campsite on the eve of an attack on a Cheyenne village, where Honus will learn which side has really been telling him the truth.

genuine sex organ on which an expert artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who can make her fantasies take form in her Chamber of Dreams, and a group of ladies smoking a
giant hookah which dispenses Essence of Man through a poor victim struggling in its glass globe. You can not help but be impressed by the special effects crew and the various ways that were found to tear off what minimal clothes our heroine seemed to

Basket Case is a 1982 US comedy horror by Frank Henenlotter.
With Kevin Van Hentenryck, Terri Susan Smith and Beverly Bonner.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release, further cut for 1987 VHS. Uncut since 1999. Originally MPAA Unrated in the US but later was R rated. Summary Notes Charming
country bumpkin Duane Bradley takes a motel room in New York with a basket and a backpack. In a flashback sequence we learn the basket contains his surgically removed Siamese twin - who is not only so physically deformed the doctors hesitated to consider
him a human, but is also the vindictive driver behind their trip, with the purpose of killing off all those he blames. But in one of those doctors' offices, Duane gets his first-ever date, with the receptionist, and wants to start a positive life. When
the freak twin escapes, the scene is set for a grim finale.
US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
Promotional Material The feature debut of director Frank Henenlotter ( Brain Damage ,
Frankenhooker ), 1982's Basket Case is a riotous and blood-spattered "midnight movie"
experience, now presented for the first time ever on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who lives in a wicker basket. Arriving
in the Big Apple and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation. Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it played on the
midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-half years), =Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS

Promotional Material Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, and brought to the screen by maverick director John Milius, =Conan the Barbarian is one of the most beloved
fantasy-action adventures in Hollywood history, which not only popularized a new subgenre -- the sword-and-sorcery film -- but also made a cinematic icon of its star, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an ancient land, young
Conan witnesses his family being slaughtered by an evil snake cult ransacking his village. Raised as a slave, the adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) rises up through the fighting pits, becoming an unparalleled and fearsome warrior. Unexpectedly freed, Conan
and his companions -- two fighters, Subotai (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), as well as a Wizard (Mako) -- are enlisted by King Osric (Max von Sydow) to free his daughter from the hypnotic clutches of the same cult that murdered Conan's
family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). Praise Crom! At long last, Milius' glorious ode to the days of high adventure (co-written by Oliver Stone) has been restored in stunning 4K with hours of bonus
features and a heart-racing Atmos remix that immerses you in the action, accompanied throughout by an electrifying, career-best score by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you! DISC ONE -- FEATURE

BLU-RAY! Tsui Chik (Li) is a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life - or, at least, that's what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed
super-soldier project. In kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system has been altered to render him impervious to pain. When several of his fellow test subjects resurface and embark on a crimewave under the leadership of their former
commander Hung Kuk (Patrick Lung), Tsui is forced to use his extraordinary abilities once more. Donning a costume, he sets out to face his past - as the vigilante known as the Black Mask. Adapted from the manhua by Pang Chi-ming and Li Chi-tak and
heavily influenced by Bruce Lee's turn as Kato in The Green Hornet, Black Mask is one of the most entertaining movies in Jet Li's filmography and boasts action orchestrated by Yuen Woo-ping, who would later win an Academy Award for his work on Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in its rarely seen uncut version on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration! LIMITED EDITION TWO-DISC BLU-RAY SET FEATURES: Limited Edition of 2000

which she whispers to the fat man and he replies, resuming on "Let me see your shimmy."
From IMDb: A scene - apparently now lost - shows Agent Bind stopping to feed money into a fruit machine as the other recruits are escaping the fun house. It would seem that all existing prints of "Spying"
now fade out just before this occurs but there is anecdotal evidence suggesting that this full version had been shown on British TV at least once during the 70s.

Cut by the BBFC for 1988 cinema release and VHS. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US.
UK cinema and video versions were cut by 9 secs to remove shots of a butterfly knife being twirled and a topless woman's stabbed body due to the BBFC's strict guidelines on knife violence at that time. Only in 2024 was the uncut version granted a 15

Promotional Material THE FIRST MOTION PICTURE BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE RISE AND REVOLT OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA! The film considered too shocking for the
world! Written, edited, produced and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi of MONDO CANE fame, this epic recreation of the American slave trade atrocities was both condemned as depraved exploitation and acclaimed as an unprecedented cry of
Black anguish and rage. The Detroit Chronicle hailed it as "a graphic, moving, nerve-paralyzing film." Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it "the most specific and rabid incitement of the race war." It became one of the most
reviled and misunderstood films of its time. Five decades cannot diminish GOODBYE UNCLE TOM's impact or quiet its controversy as it has become even more relevant TODAY! In 1971, distributors forced the filmmakers to completely re-cut the film and
radically re-write its extreme narration, removing more than 13 minute of race-war politics and inserting alternate scenes - creating what would become an entirely different film - before it could be released. Now more than 50 years later, both versions
of GOODBYE UNCLE TOM can finally be seen in brand-new restorations, scanned in 4K 16-bit from their original negatives, with Dolby Vision HDR & newly restored DTS-HD Master Audio, and packed with over 5 hours of Extras!

Promotional Material It remains the most joltingly violent, psychosexual grindhouse shocker of the '80s, directed by a veteran of I Love Lucy and starring a frequently
shirtless former teen idol with an epically demented performance by an Oscar® nominee. And now it can be experienced for the first time ever in UHD : Jimmy McNichol stars as an orphaned

The Slave of the Cannibal God is a 1978 Italy horror adventure by Sergio Martino.
Starring Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach and Claudio Cassinelli.
All UK releases have been cut for animal cruelty. The film was banned as a video nasty
in 1983. There is an uncut extended version released in the US. This Extended Version was passed 18 for 2018 UK video but was still cut for animal cruelty. Summary Notes Susan
Stevenson and her brother Arthur get off a plane in Papua New Guinea, looking for her missing husband. They team up with, Dr. Edward Foster. The three head into the jungle, get in more than a few fights amongst themselves, and view lots of gratuitous
animal cruelty, notable an iguana getting eviscerated.
UK: The Extended Version was passed 18 for strong violence, gore, sex after 2:01s of BBFC compulsory cuts for:
The BBFC commented in the annual report covering 2017: Required cuts to remove sight of real animal cruelty that appeared to be orchestrated and directed for the purposes of the film (a crocodile attacking other
animals and a fight between a snake and a bird)
Promotional Material Also known as 'The Mountain Of The Cannibal God'. Sergio Martino (the director of
All The Colours Of The Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, Torso ) invites you on the trip of a lifetime to The Mountain of The Cannibal God - for tropical sun, wildlife and... flesh munching natives!
Ursula Andress (voted the Top Bond Girl of all time in Dr No - The Nurse) here stars as 'THE SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD'. The film follows her as she travels to the New Guinea jungle in search of her scientist husband
who's vanished in the untamed Green Inferno. Soon, giant spiders, killer crocodiles and deadly giant snakes bare their teeth as her expedition, led by cult-favourite Stacy Keach , journeys towards the sacred mountain of
the Cannibal God! There a flesh-eating tribe will enslave her in an eruption of frenzied orgiastic climax... Banned as a 'Video Nasty', Shameless now reinstates the original dramatic gore and the extended - and here complete - explicit scenes to
serve up this 2K-sharp restoration of this ferocious unflinching exploitation treat, to be savoured in all its blood-soaked glory! Special Features:
- 2K Restored and Regraded
- Sergio Martino interview on the Making of "Slave of the Cannibal God"

Killer Nun is a 1979 Italy horror mystery thriller by Giulio Berruti
Starring Anita Ekberg, Alida Valli and Massimo Serato
The 1981 pre-cert VHS release briefly appeared on the Video Nasties List. Later
released with BBFC cuts for 18 rated VHS release in 1993. Uncut and 18 rated on DVD since 2006. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Notes Legendary Swedish sex bomb Anita Ekberg
stars as Sister Gertrude, a cruel nun who discovers depraved pleasure in a frenzy of drug addiction, sexual degradation and sadistic murder.
UK: Uncut and BBFC 18 rated for strong bloody violence:
Promotional Material Dubbed the sex symbol of the silver screen, Anita Ekberg , renowned for her iconic frolicking in the Trevi Fountain in Fellini's
La Dolce Vita , delivers an amazing powerhouse performance in THE KILLER NUN . In an interview exclusive to this edition, Ekberg reveals her frustration with subsequent
"bombshell" typecasting, expressing a preference for working on films like Killer Nun and boldly declaring, "This is the kind of film I like!" Originally banned as a Video Nasty
, Killer Nun is a true "Nunsploitation" great, which uniquely crosses into the Giallo genre. Presented here uncut and pristinely restored from a 2K scan of the camera negative, this release
finally does justice to the uninhibited and frenzied vision of its creator. With impressive high-style photography and vivid, deliciously surreal murders, it is superbly enhanced by the dreamy yet dystopian score of Alessandro
Alessandroni (immortalised by his twangy guitar and his legendary whistling in Sergio Leone's westerns ). The music itself is a manic masterpiece. Based on a true story, Ekberg's tour-de-force performance
portrays a nun who turns junkie and engages in robbery, possibly torture and murder of pensioners in a Church-run Elderly Care Home - all while luring young nuns with her sapphic desires! The Nun is abetted by a hunky doctor played by Andy Warhol's
superstar protégé, Joe D'Alessandro (lionised as "Little Joe" in Lou Reed's famed Walk On The Wild Side ). Special Features:
- Interview with Fellini's muse and iconic Sex-Symbol Anita Ekberg - "After La Dolce Vita"
-
Interview with director Giulio Berruti - "God is the Drug"

Promotional Material This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Based on an acclaimed
1967 novel by Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock is set at the turn of the twentieth century and concerns a small group of students from an all-female college who vanish, along with a chaperone, while on a St.
Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir's gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to
this day.

expected more: the 'sexual revolution' had started. Ever wondered what she looks like without that bikini? Well, wonder no more and reach for The Nurse! Andress stars as The Sensuous Nurse, spending most of this romp-com undressed. Screen
legend Jack Palance (City Slickers) plays an American tycoon aiming to buy a vineyard in the beautiful Italian Veneto. But the hitch is that the aging owner won't sign, despite his madcap family's eagerness to sell and get rich. The old
man, recovering from a bonk-induced heart attack, is a randy lecher. So, the family's outrageous stratagem is to hire Nurse Andress, not to cure the old boy, but for her to... ahem... undress and, hopefully, induce another - this time fatal -
cardiac arrest. It's all barmy, fizzy fun, and the clincher? A SECOND Bond Girl! Luciana Paluzzi, the one in skin-tight black leathers on the rocket launching motorbike in 'Thunderball'. Here without leathers. Or anything.

Promotional Material ONE FROM THE HEART: REPRISE is a spectacular 4K restoration and reimagining of the 1982 cult classic from Francis Ford Coppola. Six minutes of footage have been added to replace the
original negative, previously thought to be destroyed, resulting in a brand-new REPRISE version, approved by Coppola himself. ONE FROM THE HEART: REPRISE tells the story of a Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr, Frederic Forrest) whose break-up on the 4th
of July leads them both to a night on the strip in pursuit of their romantic fantasies (Raul Julia, Nastassja Kinski). But in this town of gamblers and dreamers should they bet it all on dreams, or give true love another roll of the dice Featuring
breathtaking design, show-stopping set pieces, the stunning photography of Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor) and accompanied by the wonderful Oscar nominated* music of the one and only Tom Waits, this neon explosion of colour, sound and
innovation is a cinematic valentine for all movie lovers. UHD Disc 1 / Blu-Ray Disc 1: One From The Heart: Reprise * NEW The Look of One From The Heart * NEW The Cast of One From The Heart * NEW Reinventing the Musical: Baz Luhrmann on One From
