Platinum Disc Corporation must die!


Okay, so I got this movie pretty cheap, only bought it because the cover-art was very well-made (a painting of a woman's legs as she stands with her skirt blowing in the wind, holding a small gun), and of course because Reb Brown was starring.

Anyway, the DVD-manufacturing company (Platinum Disc Corporation) apparently decided, that not only didn't they need to restore the picture or sound quality, but on top of that threw their watermarked logo on the screen every 15 minutes or so!

But WHY!? I mean, the people who watch their $1 VHS-transfered DVD's actually PAID MONEY to see the film in - what they hoped was - decent quality, but with their ugly logo popping up all the time, we might as well have seen the film on youtube - the quality isn't even that much different, and on youtube we can at least turn off pop-up windows!!

So let this be a warning to all that want to see this film... AVOID Platinum Disc Corporation's DVD edition of the film! The picture is awful, the sound 1.0 mono, and they smack their logo on the screen every 15 minutes, so it looks like you're watching a screener-edition! AVOID AVOID AVOID
