Emmanuelle 5

Emmanuelle 5
France 1987
directed by Walerian Borowczyk
with Monique Gabrielle, Crofton Hardester, Dana Burns Westburg






imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092962/

Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1
Audio: German, English
Subtitles: None

There are three different version of this movie. The orginal french version directed by Borowczyk, a french HC version (this one features some HC, but deletes some story line) and the US version, which was cut new by Roger Corman and features new filmed scenes, while deleting others.

I used the german Pay-TV Broadcast from Premiere. The german version is based on the french version and the Premiere broadcast seems to be the best version so far. I added the HC scenes from the french VHS and created and composite print, with all the scenes from the original french version and the additional HC scenes.
This one also got an english audio track.

I created a new menu and even some supplement with the alternate scenes from the french version (these were replaced by the HC scenes from the VHS) and a Monique Gabrielle Slideshow.

Ceremonia sangrienta

Ceremonia sangrienta
Italy/Spain 1973

Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1

Subtitles: None (only english for the italian scenes in the second version)

The movie is also known as "The Legend of Blood Castle", "The Female Butcher" and "Bloody Ceremony".
First of all, so far, there hasn't been a satisfying DVD release of this awesome movie. The spanish DVD from filmax only features the clothed version with no english audio/subtitle option. The mya DVD is based on the spanish DVD version, but is censored in one scene. Still only the clothed version.
My goal was to created the best version of this movie using the best available materials: the spanish DVD, the mya DVD and the finnish VHS version. My basis was the spanish DVD. I added the nude scenes from the VHS back into the movie with customized english audio tracks (from the mya DVD and the VHS, there are some differences between these two tracks.) This is the first version. Basically the uncensored international version with two english audio tracks (and of course the spanish one).
For the second version I added the deleted scenes from the mya DVD back into the movie, creating the longest version of the movie. These scenes are in italian with optional english subtitles.

I created a new menu. Both versions are on one DVD and both feature twice the english and the spanish audio track.

I ragazzi del massacro

Ragazzi del massacro, I
Italy 1969
directed by Fernando Di Leo

imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195209/

Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 (anamorphic widescreen)
Audio: Italian, German

I used the italian DVD and added the german audio track from the german VHS. I also used the old DVD structure. So, basically, it's just the italian DVD with an additional german audio track.

Quelli che contano

Italy 1974
directed by Andrea Bianchi
with Henry Silva, Barbara Bouchet, Fausto Tozzi









imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154468/

Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 (anamorphic widescreen)
Audio: Italian, English, German
Subtitles: Italian, German


Quelli che contano is also known as "Cry of a Prostitute" and "Guns of the Big Shots". The german title is "Die Rache des Paten".
A lot of work went into this one. My basis was the uncensored italian DVD. I used the english audio from an already dubbed source. No fixing was needed. The german audio was taken from the german Bootleg DVD. There were a lot of problems with this track. Here and there some litte audio issues and in one scene the audio was out of sync. All this was fixed, a big improvement over the old track.
I translated the german subtiles (no dubtitles!) myself, based on the italian subtitles/audio. Way more closer to the italian version than the german or english dubbing. The DVD also got english/german subtitles for the not dubbed scenes.

The DVD got a new menu and even some supplement material in form of an image gallery and a music video.

Sleepaway Camp

USA 1983
directed by Robert Hiltzik
with Felissa Rose, Jonathan Tiersten, Karen Fields










imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086320/

Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 (anamorphic widescreen)
Audio: English (from DVD), English (from VHS)

This one is a complete uncensored version of Sleepaway Camp. I used the Anchor Bay DVD and the old Media Home Entertainment VHS (Rated R).
I added the missing scenes from the VHS. Luckily the VHS is in Fullscreen (Open Mate) so it was no big problem to do a proper framing. (btw. 1.85 is the correct aspect ratio)
The Anchor Bay DVD also had some censored audio. These scenes were fixed with the help of the VHS audio.
The DVD got two audio tracks. The first one is based on the original english DVD audio. I fixed the censored parts so it's completely uncensored. The second one is directly from VHS.
The DVD got a new menu incl. audio setup.
