Great news for fans of classic adult films on Blu-Ray!

Later this summer, Command Video will release a brand new 4K restoration of Cecil Howard's film Firestorm (1984), starring Kay Parker, John Leslie, Tina Marie, Eric Edwards, Sharon Kane, Sharon Mitchell, Veronica Hart, and Joanna Storm. The Blu-Ray features a new audio commentary with Eric Edwards.

Also, a new 4K restoration Howard's film Spitfire (1985) is also set for a late summer release. It stars Samantha Fox, Sharon Mitchell, Robert Kerman, John Leslie, Tigr, Joey Silvera, and Eric Edwards. The disc will feature a video interview with archivist, film historian and Vinegar Syndrome co-founder Joe Rubin.

Rubin is an insightful, entertaining guy. I just listened to his interview with actress Kay Parker on the Vinegar Syndrome "Taboo" Blu-Ray and was impressed with the breadth of his knowledge.

BRAVO to Command Video and Vinegar Syndrome for dusting off and polishing adult films, giving them a respect from a cultural, historical and artistic perspective that few people must have imagined they would ever get when they were playing in the XXX houses.

[Edited to change the title to become encompassing of Command as a whole - Flash]

More info on these releases: commandcinema.com & blu-ray.com.

I see Commandcinema's website has Babylon Pink and Neon Nights up there as well which is great as they can be hard to find.

Really looking forward to Firestorm, not familiar with Spitfire but I don't think I've been disappointed by a Howard film yet.

^ Cecil Howard according to Hustler Magazine never made a bad movie this is what they had to say back in the 80's. That was the ultimate compliment because Hustler had some pretty harsh critiques they didn't pull any punches they would tell it like it is and a majority of the time they were usually right especially when it came to reviews of Adult Movies.

I think, but don't quote me, that they got the remaining stock when the Media Blasters deal went south (Same with VCX, Ltd.).

I have been waiting for this release of FIRESTORM for what seems like years. I saw it once--a pirated copy that was so dark and grainy you could barely make out the performers. And yet, I watched it to the end because it was so good.

Firestorm and Spitfire are both now available for pre-order through the Command Cinema website. They are also currently available in a two-pack, which shaves off $10, only until the release day of January 11, 2021.

Pre-ordered. i was tempted to add Neon Nights to the order but I'm glad I didn't now that I know a blu ray release is planned!

Somehow forgot to pick up Fantasex, I may have seen it a long time ago, anyone got an opinion on it?

^ As Hustler Magazine said " Cecil Howard has never made a bad movie" . Also it's great to see Cecil Howard (Ward Summers) and Chuck Vincent (Mark Ubell) in non sex roles as well there is an excellent video interview with lead actor Jeffrey Hurst. Do not hesitate to purchase Fantasex (1976) !!!!

Glad that these are finally being released.

Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for the next batch of movies to be released next time.

Farewell Scarlet came out today on Blu-ray. I'm surprised it wasn't a UHD release.
