Very cool, sagger! Do you know how rare the Finnish release is? And which other Video-Invest titles were put out in Finland?

Anyone know why some of those Swedish releases have this "line" in the middle of the sleeve?? Seen this on Nightmare, Burning, and some others...

The Hong Kong video nasty THE BEASTS from 1981. Veeeery rare! The precert page doesn't state a year of release but the cover says 1983. I have only seen ONE guy here post a cover from this release, and I've never come across anybody who actually had the tape. I've only seen it once before on eBay. I won it from a seller in the UK.

Only released on VHS in Holland and the UK. There are a couple of VCDs and a DVD from HK, all cut! (there's also a HK LD but I have no info on its cut status). The Dutch VHS (which I also own) is fully uncut and letterboxed. I don't know the cut status of this very early UK precert (probably cos it's so rare that no-one has been able to compare it to the Dutch tape). I have just quickly checked the start and the tape is also widescreen. Both the NL and UK tapes are dubbed into English.

Congratulations Jack, a nice find :)

Not wishing to steal any thunder from your post but I also have the same Pre-cert tape. I posted a picture of it in my thread here: http://z9.invisionfree.com/THE_CINEHOUND_F...topic=8141&st=0

Won it around 2005 on eBay also from a UK seller. Great tape and highly entertaining piece of HK trash.

Oh no!! :o So it's not rare at all!! I might as well chuck it in the bin now. :(

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Very cool you have a copy. I don't live on eBay so it could certainly have slipped past me without me noticing. Or it's the very same copy I actually DID see on there years ago (and lost because the notification came too late!). Still, a very very rare tape.

Yeah mate, it's worthless to be honest, I'd chuck it if I were you! :D

I did live on eBay for a good 5 years and was looking for pre-certs and Hong Kong movies every day and didn't once come across another copy after I won it back then. Likewise, I may have missed it as well, but I also still maintain that it's a pretty rare tape and definitely a great find mate.
