THE JESS FRANCO ONLINE HOME VIDEO GUIDE




Visit THE JESS FRANCO ONLINE HOME VIDEO GUIDE at www.cinemadrome.yuku.com. Just hit the link at the top of the sidebar at right. I will attempt to individually log all the Jess Franco VHS and DVD releases since those formats began. Select Grey Market items will also be logged. Each post will cover a single presentation and since many films have numerous DVD/VHS incarnations this will be a pleasantly ongoing enterprise. They will not be sequentially ordered, but I'll go according to my mood, what I have and can find out about. There will be as much technical information as I can find/cut and paste in. I'll try to include vintage covers whenever possible. Everything from the 1980s WIZARD VIDEO videos to the most recent DVD releases will be included along with screenshots from the presentations when available.



I'll also be giving each presentation my own rating for the film itself, audio & video quality of the presentation. Please feel free to add any corrections or information by hitting reply. Comments are welcome and encouraged. This will not be a listing or review of ALL JF films, it will just attempt to gather as many of the VHS/DVD releases of his films as possible in one place with some commentary. Discs and videos from all regions will be included.

In the meantime I'm looking for the alternate X rated [not hardcore] OOP [at Xploited, at least] R0 PAL DVD of DORIANA GREY [Label: ABCDVD]. If anyone can help me out please contact me by email or comment below.

Let me see if I got this straight... Does the ABCDVD have a different DORIANA GREY version than the one from the Jess Franco collection? One without the HC scenes that only ruin the mood IMHO?

There exists a non hardcore version. It says on the Xploited ad that it is an "alternate" X version. I haven't seen it so I'm not sure. But it may indeed be a non hardcore version. This is what I'm trying to find out about.

Has anyone seen the DVD in question? Thanks.

Great initiative! I'd like to help with your problem, unfortunately I wouldn't know anything about it. Good luck!
