While the sex is probably the best produced by Private with former enfant prodige Woodman, the video quality is actually grainy and not really good. But the movie has also a historical value, so why not a "special edition" like Tower 2 & 3? I'm not sure if Roger can answer this, but is there any controversy about the video's ownership? Why was it retitled and why Woodman didn't sign it with his real name? And has this anything to do with the fact that there's no disc yet (and you're putting out anthologies of "Private Stories"... argh)? [MOD: "Star Crossed"? I was staring at nude chicks while penning this] Edited by - Sbando Boy on Feb 27 2002 Topic Moved by - Saki on Feb 27 2002  [Link] |
| scipio Senior Member 1901 Posts 2/00 | Posted - Feb 27 2002 : 9:22PM Sbando Boy, I have a couple of questions about these films: What actually happened with the Tower 2/3 DVD? I assumed it was "highlights" from both onto one disc, with some stuff edited out? You mention that the Golden Triangle had it's title changed? What happened there? thanks, scipio  [Link] |

So they released Tower 2 and 3 in one disc, like the compilations. No cuts, but the visual limitations are obvious. So, if they think that GT doesn't deserve a regular edition with all the pomps, behind the scenes, stills etc., why not a single disc like Tower? On the other hand, Golden Triangle, had a troubled history. It was Woodman's first effort as a full fledged director after Ricaud's demise and the movie was meant to be called "The Bali Connection". It ended up having a different title and Woodman signed it with a different name, Jean-Pierre Bouchet. So i wonder: has this something to do with the legal troubles the crew (and Pierre) had in Thailand, or there was some kind of dispute about the film's rights or the film final cut, and is this dispute that's preventing Private from releasing the DVD? I'd like to know the story behind Bali connection, but, honestly, since Private still sells the VHS version of this fine movie, I just think they skipped the DVD because the picture quality was so awful. But like Private Magazine 1, it'd deserve a disc only for its historical value. [Link] |

There was at least another scene that was missing if you believe the stills on the back cover of the DVD. I mentioned this in my review of it. [Link] |
| Sbando Boy Euro Babe Magnet 1839 Posts 6/01 | Posted - Feb 28 2002 : 3:58PM With this knowledge, no, then I DON'T want a "Golden Triangle" special edition. So, my conclusion is that they skipped GL altogether cos they even didn't find it worth of an edited edition. [Link] |

| Comet Man Member Boston 96 Posts 4/01 | Posted - Mar 1 2002 : 9:10AM The only really bad video quality (lots of grain, etc.) I've seen from Private is on some of their collection DVDs like Zodiac, Absolute, etc. [Link] |
