Hi Everyone

I recently read several reviews of Belladonnas "My Ass is Haunted" and on the strength of these decided to buy it. When I got the disc home however I was disapointed to discover that some of the action mentioned in the reviews was missing, particularly the Roxy Jezel scene which I was looking forward to. On closer inspection the box cover shown on the reviews states that it is a 2 Disc set and my cover, in all fairness, it does not.

I accept that this is completely my fault but wondered if it is a common problem. Being based in the UK I would ask the question whether we only get the 1 disc set or indeed was that a limited edition which I merely missed out on.

I am concerned as I am also after the Feeding Frenzy series and one of them (6 I think) is also advertised as a 2 discs and would naturally be disapointed if the same thing happened again.

All I would say is beware! when ordering and check that the box cover you buy (especially in the UK)states that what you are buying is infact a 2 disc set - don't be as dopey as me...... by the way it is still a fantastic film.

Cheers - The Ripper

I think this is a general problem abroad.

Here in Germany we also get many films bare-bone, although the US-release has a bunch of extras on a second disc.
But THE FEEDING FRENZY 2-disc-edition you mentioned has been released in its full glory in Germany.

Guess that depends on the money the American producers charge the European distributors for extras included.

Hi,
did you buy an original "US DVD" or a "UK" licensed one ?
I suspect it was a UK one.

Just as with the main feature any extras have to be submitted to the BBFC for classification , at additional expense . Not surprisingly most of the time Shiva (or whoever licenses the content) decide to forgo on extras . Then again it's probably cheaper for you to buy the original Evil Empire version from the US anyway , so that would be my recommendation .

Thanks everyone for your replys.

It does make sense what is being said and explains the lack of additional discs. I wil certainly keep my eyes open in the future when buying such titles.

it's about the same thing with UK material getting here. you have DVDs for sell there that are of the big breast variety and I wonder why they weren't released in the US.

When I started buying porn I bought movies sluaghtered by a local distributor, those version were cut everywhere, hade like no info at all, they squeezed in two volumes on one dvd of some series etc... Once I realized this I didn't care how much extra it would cost to get uncut originals.

I've been told that it's often due to the 2257 record keeping requirements. If the original producers haven't saved the records necessary for US distribution, nobody here will take it.

we get the same problem here in australia, they are some companies downunder that are making their own liscened versions of the disc and they do not hold up to the us dvd releases.
I am a big fan of the evil empire and i can tell when i got genuine product. almost all of the liscened product is on a single layer disc rather than a dual layer, The video quality is sacrificed for this, and sometimes its the running time of the vhs version that just pisses me off.
Some discs do not have any special features at all.
The worse thing is that they charge the same price for a genuine us dvd as is to their liscened product.

Actually for most European producers it would be illegal to share those records (even if we would have them exactly like required by 2257) without prior permission from the model involved.
