Picked up a disc that I had not heard of but just found and it was stupid expensive on YJ, lucked out on a cheap copy on ebay.
Gdleen (1989) [TLL 2160]

I thank everything that nobody is on ebay anymore and I can get great deals once again.

I love anime, now we need Heritage to start buying up anime LDs and stop with the million dollar mario 64......

You need to make a topic of this one, I think it was a computer graphic box set or something???
Or is this something else that I can't make out the words on the side.

Might do that once I finish watching the whole thing, there's about eight and a half hours of content on this thing, but yeah, it's all oldschool computer animation, shorts ranging from around 30 seconds to several minutes, spread across 20 CAV sides.

While the contents seem to be fine as far as I can tell, the outer box is in a lot worse shape than I expected, there's a couple of spots where the silver finish has worn down and exposed the white cardboard underneath :sick:

Winter time here and starting to get low on Laserdiscs to watch.
Spent a day out hunting around locally for discs,
The usual standard movie discs id never watch, actually came across a large pile of Anime but its not my jam,
Best to leave for the next guy i figure.

I love my Motorsport so caught these.

Image

Macau Grand Prix (1990) [C59-6402]
Was sealed and rot free thankfully.

Image

Car Graphic Video Library: vol.1 Targa Florio Storica [PCLP-00158]

Mmmm Targa Floria very pleased with this Gem, will have to upload cover the the DB i guess.

Image

Car Graphic Video Library: vol.4 Ferrari F40 [PCLP-00161]

Another one sealed have not check for rot but the colour insert is fabulous, almost frame worthly.

Image

Grand Prix Requiem (1987) [G98F5052]

This one is brutal, if you want 100 minutes of just raw death and disfiguring mostly F1 crashes with occasional flute jass this is your LaserDisc

I love all of those except that last one. I don’t know what kind of monster would want that, to be honest. I hope the producer is in hell.

Yeah rough. The footage of that poor young marshal being destroyed by a F1 car in the Tom Pryce death incident was disturbing and was unaware was even footage of that.

Roger Williamson burning to death with marshalls just watching while David Purley screaming at them trying to put fire out while flute jazz is playing was rough.

I got a couple of those not so long back. The Targa Florio disc is excellent, I've watched that through. Not watched the F40 one yet but agree it looks superb in terms of the sleeve design.

I wonder if that last one you have there, the thing that sounds like an F1 mondo video, I wonder if the Tom Pryce footage is the same as that in a 1982 film from Italy, Pole Position: I Guerrieri della Formula One?

It's a documentary, and a genuinely decent one at that, which inexplicably has footage from the crash (and some others) which is not found anywhere else (unless your disc has it now too). It's pretty grisly and unexpected but is also set to some bizarre lounge music too. It could very well be the same footage.

The film has an atrocious English dub and is near impossible to find (afaik). You can get it on DVD though in Italy, direct from Rai Italia, which is what I did. You get the original Italian audio track but sadly no English dub or subtitles. It's the only way, for now, to get the film. Well worth it though regardless of the 'added footage' and Italian audio (if you do not speak Italian).

I guess on the face of it, it is a good thing that the grisly footage was captured. Not for entertainment value, but to help investigators and historians to ascertain what exactly happened in a crash or other accident. The recent events in the Denmark match at Euro 2020 could have helped in a medical enquiry. Though there was no need for the broadcaster to sit there lingering on events for public transmission.

I wouldn't mind getting that grisly F1 disc, just to see if any of the footage, not just the grisly stuff, is robbed from the Italian.documentary for the Japanese market. Sure they do love a bit of mondo in Japan. Faces of Death, for example, was a huge hit there.

Edit: Just had a look at the LDDB notes that someone mentioned this is a USA/Japan/Italy co production and features grisly footage up to 1982, which is exactly where Pole Position finishes. I've a feeling this may well indeed be the same documentary just repackaged.

Curious to know more. Does your disc have any English audio or English LDG? Any chance you can take a couple of non-grisly screenshots?

If the opening credits feature an on board camera view of a driver in a blue Parmalat car then it's 99.9% the same film.

Edit 2: Another thought sprang to mind. The soundtrack for Pole Position was done by the legendary Guido and Maurizio de Angelis brothers, aka Oliver Onions (they did the masterpiece Dune Buggy from the magnificent Terence Hill and Bud Spencer film Watch Out We're Mad! amongst millions more tracks).

Here's a clip of one track from Pole Position. Maybe it's on your disc? If the soundtrack is by them, it's the same film just rebadged for Japan. Has to be?

Really looking forward to watching Targa Floria.

Good-bye hero has a American narrator, he isnt bad at all,
The jap subtitles also are very small which is nice, in fact the smallest out of all my jap discs.

Hmm. I'll have to go through the disc to see. I don't recall that. It could be that the Japan disc may have extra footage tacked in as it was released later?

The intro is here (WARNING. NSFW OR FOR THE SQUEAMISH):



One point to note on the above is that it is from the USA release as the credits are in English. On the Rai Italia DVD the credits and title logo/graphic are in Italian.

Edit: Really rare video here, the trailer for the film. Never seen this before. May show footage in Grand Prix Requiem?

Yep. Also Speed Fever which Pole Position was the sequel to. The Quick And The Dead has similar footage but not some stuff that's in Pole Position. Some footage is exclusive, for want of a better word, to that film.

I think Jeff has The Quick And The Dead last time I looked.

Found a copy of My Summer Story (1994) [ML104970] at work.
Appears to be from a shop in Footscray (Melbourne) that was called "Khai Tri" I guess?
Still has shrink wrap that has been cut to allow access to disc.
Khai Tri barcode sticker on shrink wrap, "special" sticker and rating sticker (PG).
Khai Tri price sticker on shrink wrap too. $60
Paper sleeve is in good shape and the plastic inner is ok too
Disc has Khai Tri barcode on side 2.

Not a movie I'm interested in tbh, but only cost a couple of dollars and my collection is still very small.


There was another LD there that I didn't bother getting because it is PAL:
Smokey and the Bandit (1977) [LVG 1009]
