OK I know Rex Borsky and Alex De Renzy are the same director but I would like to know specifically which movies are the best of the ones he did under the name of Rex Borsky (must be available on DVD) ?
I think there is a number of titles from Rosebud, which ones would you recommend?
I gotta tell you...many of these titles from Rosebud directed by Borsky/DeRenzy are not that good. The video and audio quality is top-notch, but there are no extras to speak of, and the ones I've seen, by and large, look like a bunch of compiled outtakes with no real beginning. (Sometimes, the action starts seemingly mid-stream.)
I bought some of the Francesca Le ones like GANG BANG THRILLS and ANAL LOVER because I'm a fan of hers only. Just beware that what you get may be substandard.

Thanks for the advice Diesel!
Come to think of it the fact that so many movies of his are available from Rosebud looks a bit suspicious, like you said most could be totally made up from outtakes.
I wish Butt Sluts 2 which was a really good movie (like Butt Sluts) was available. The one from Borsky I mean, there are different "butt sluts" series on the market, nobody copyrighted the name I guess

Joey--if you want to try some of the Rex Borsky movies you can go to rame & search for Borsky-it brings up 194 movies. There are reviews for quite a few. Pick out a good one, based on it's vhs reviews (one that's now on dvd). I think I probably saw about 50 of them-many years ago. I liked them because the sex was good & the video quality was generally very good. But, as diesel said, it's like you come in right in the middle on most of them, with very little dialogue. Pretty much the same sequence of sex acts in each one-they just switch the participants around from scene to scene. I can't remember any to recommend, other than I did like the Anal Cuties of Chinatown series (especially a girl named Misaki that I craved at the time). Then, of course, the ones with Peter North-the girls usually got hosed down good with Pete in the flick.---menace
Be careful to double-check that rame's link takes you to the right movie for reviews & dvd availability at stores-as you prob. know, their link from Borsky's Butt Sluts 2 takes you to Metro's version & a not very good review from Evil_Rip (for the METRO version,of course).
I have to disagree somewhat with Diesel on this one...
I've purchased a few classic Rosebud titles and they appear to be exactly the same as the VHS title was -- For instance if you select "Anal Cuties of Chinatown", the entire movie is intact and I think the digital transfers are pretty good quality so far. It is true that there are no extras, but the price is low and the movies are 5 to 10 years old wall to wall/gonzo type. I'm not sure what kind of extras would be realistic here.
Now, Rosebud does offer some 4 hour budget priced DVD compilations as well which may not contain the entire scene. An example is "Asian Party Girls 1-5" -- but even with these, most of the scene appears intact to me. More often then not, classic Rosebud scenes would jump right into it, with no interview, tease etc. For the price (which appears to be about $10-12), I still think they are a good value.
keep in mind people Alex de Renzy started making these movies in the early 90's, they were definately not substandard for the time. This was before digital, and i'm sure the camera masters went bad long before dvd, thus no extras to be put on the dvd. I think the transfers are immaculate considering the source materials, and trust me i've seen the source material from these movies.
Jules, I completely agree with you. Alex de Renzy (may he rest in peace) was a true pioneer and definitely ahead of his time and he influenced the way adult movies are made to this day. I've been a big fan of his work for many years and still have around 50 of his movies on video. I can only hope ROSEBUD will release more of his awesome work on DVD...
I have seen a couple of the Rosebud DVDs after having been a fan and having bought about half of their titles on VHS. The picture quality is OK. There are no extras, and what Diesel described about scenes starting at the midpoint is normal for the series.
I just got one of their four hour comps, Asian Party Girls 4, and I was very disappointed. The picture quality is pretty bad. There is a lot of noise in the picture and pixelization from the transfer. These where originally for 4 hour VHS comps so I am guessing that no attention was paid to keeping a good picture quality since it will ultimately look like shit on VHS EP anyway. So stay away from the four hour comps if picture quality is important.
