Kung Fu Rascals and Despiser (Amazon links) are works meant to be enjoyed as simple popcorn entertainment back when they first released. As Steve Wang pointed out (my interview with him can be read here), his film was his first foray into directing, and admitted there were problems. Despite some flaws, it’s a work to be appreciated because it helped show to Hollywood what he was capable of.
As for other works in this distributor’s catalog, one can find other movies were their final film school project, or perhaps something else. Some were attempts to test the waters of some genre, others designed for fun, and the rest–it’s like a roulette wheel: one can never be too sure if it’d be a wild success or not. Whatever the case, this label has a commitment to revive these works to show that it’s possible to love these lowbrow works for what they are.
In what this company does is to restore those works and create some new material to go along with the blu-ray release. They have works like Suburban Sasquatch, Scream Queen, Vampires And Other Stereotypes and Moonchild available to purchase. And as for what else there is, we recommend checking out some retailer pages, like Amazon USA or Diabolik to see what they got.
Before diving into a detailed, written look at the bonus material included in the films we requested (that’ll have to come in November), we got this unboxing video to show the goodies that come with!
