Ultimate Dolph

Nameless Media presents two new limited editions that are "almost exclusives" for the upcoming Week-end of Hell convention where Dolph attends next week. First one gets my vote:

You can still order them here:

The first one is very nice, loe the retro style that’s getting popular these days!

U are right !!! The old VHS covers are the best !!! Someone says - that was the time when covers were better than movie itself ( I mean the VHS era '80s-'90s) !!! In the case of Red Scorpion both of them - VHS COVER AND MOVIE- were good !!! Joseph Zito did a good job on this, reminded me his work in Missing in Action (1984) starring Chuck Norris which is considered by fans one of his best movies and the best in Missing in Action Trilogy !!!

Russian VHS (1997)

30 years ago today was the French theatrical release (in a heavily cut 92 min version), no publicity to announce it (though in magazines for the past year) and I happened to visit Paris with my family when I saw large posters of Dolph on street and cinema marquees. It sold 105,000 tickets and only ran for 2 weeks and I managed to see it (alone in the theatre) the night before the movie was taken out.

At a RED SCORPION event (premiere?) in Malaysia.

The woman posing with Dolph is a Malaysian actress it seems.

Never seen that trailer before, it seems to have been used by Vestron who released the film in the UK straight to video...

A brief but interesting account of the debris left behind by the making of the film - and of the role played in its production by the SADF.

I must have posted a link(s) to the entire newspaper(s) at the time above (which were then spotted by the NY Times who made it the big story). PDF of the vintage newspapers are online.

EDIT:
Here they are:

Thanks, Jox; I hadn't seen those before.

Some dodgy dealing to get it made - but an underrated film all the same.
