Hi everyone ! After watching the VCA DVD version of Cafe Flesh I noticed a jump cut near the end. In fact I read that Max is killed at the end but that VCA cut it out. This seems logical since he suddenly dissappeared from screen without explanation. The ending of the film is too abrupt and seems damaged by the cut. Has anybody seen the full version and can confirm this ?
i use to have this on laserdisc. the ending was pretty dissapointing. I heard that they ran out of money so the director never really finished the movie.
Cafe Flesh locks up my PC based DVD player. On the rare chance that it starts, it locks up again if I try to skip chapters. Speaking of chapters, whoever indexed this DVD was an idiot. The chapters for the sex scenes begin AFTER the beginning of the vignette. Essentially, they wait until someone is about to penetrate before they mark the chapter. So you have to rewind to see the beginning of the sex scene. The disc is a nice picture disc, the packaging is great (some good photos from the archive), BUT the menu screen is a generic "VCA" logo, rather than anything artistic from the film (like a simple photo, for heaven's sake), the chapter points are stupid, and there are no previews for Rinse Dream's other films. Lame lame lame. Can't beleive this is from the same company that made SEX & SEX 2. On the plus side, the celluloid has not aged badly. Some flakes, but no worse than it's been.
It has been reported that Cafe Flesh has been sold to Mondo Macabro by Steven Sayadian and they are expecting a 2024 release. The bad news is the negative is MIA and all they have to work with are prints of the film, so whether UHD will come out has yet to be decided.

This topic was moved here from the The Porn Pool forum.
I'm always interested in knowing more about Terri Coperland, the girl who starts with sex at the beginning, and being able to see it on Blu Ray will be a good experience.
Any updates on shipping dates? First they said January, then March, and now it's nearly April. The website is undergoing maintenance so I can't see if they changed it again.
saw this blu ray release\restoration on amazon on sale for 17 dollars! picked it up and never having seen it before loved it. just curious what price range did you guys pay by pre ordering from Mondo directly? saw a few people say it was rather pricey but did not see what the original price was. was kind of surprised it was on amazon prime with over night shipping to be honest.
the price difference sucks for sure but it sounds like amazon canada is a little more liberal with the amount of xxx they sell. i searched vinegar syndrome and actual vinegar cleaning solution came up here in the usa lol. i was hoping to get some good prices and overnight delivery on some classics from VS as i know they do great restorations of classics. there are some classic titles like the taboo series but they are all through third party sellers and are very pricy just for standard dvds on usa amazon.
that is not a bad price considering you got a uhd blu ray and booklet. what i got was just a standard 1080 blu ray and no booklet.
i have a question that you or maybe someone else would know the answer to regarding the artwork on the cover. the blonde woman pictured on the cover is the lead actress correct? her hair is brunette in the film though. why is it blonde on the cover? that confused me lol
