Is this a "good" version?

Sounds like they've FINALLY bought this baby to North America. I musts admit, it certainly looks authentic, licenced, etc...

Here's a link from TLA, the Canadian distributor. The ONLY thing that makes me suspicious is the fact that Somerville House, a company with some rather dull (and older) Canadian co-production titles on their upcoming release list, would get the rights to a reasonably well-remembered cult item like this, AND deck it out with special features, including a deleted scene and TWO commentaries, one by the director, who's dead.

Nonetheless, despite the fact that the my perfect Italian import has been the jewel in my massive DVD collection for a year or more now, I'll probably give this new one a shot. At least it's got the original poster art.

But really, could you imagine what Blue Underground, Dark Sky or No Shame could have done with this!

Sigh...

Its really kind of funny to see these different companies putting out the movie. At first I thought Jef Films Inc were legit because they also released the VHS version back a few years ago but I have heard things about Jef Films which made me reconsider. I too have to wonder about Somerville House being legit and have to wonder if the DVD will look any better. I guess we will find out before too long. I just wish Anchor Bay had put out the movie like they tried to do as it would probably be a very good release.

Hey WASSSUP!!! By the looks of this, Superfuzz will be a BRAND SPANKING NEW TRANSFER ( unlike the previous Wham DVD from 2004 ) According to SuperFuzz tribute creator Cam Chaney it's going to be a totally new transfer. Just go to
www.camchaney.com and follow the links to contact him. It's going to be a SUPA SUPA February 2007 with the release of this classic 80's flick!!!!

Cam may be a big fan, but he's really gotta fix up the lyrics he's got posted at his site. They repeat the same mistakes that just about every other website has. Dig around here and you'll find at least a couple of threads that make reference to the correct lyrics in the later verses of the song.

Definitely not worth your money. Import the Italian version at all costs.
