This is so stupid. It's one thing if they just borrow a layout or something, but to use such easily recognizable material with the faces of well-known performers in full view... that's just plain pathetic.
And the bogus performer names... "Sphie Shlong", "Joy Scream", "John Pierce", "Paul Long", puleeaaase!! that looks like the names that labels like Videorama used to put on their compilation tapes.
I'm wondering whether it's just the cover art, or if the entire movie is a bootleg.
Good point.. IAFD dosen't turn up any hits on either the movie, or 'Joy Scream' or 'Eva Labelle'..
I'm almost tempted to order a copy just to see, but that would be putting profit into the wrong hands, and I already have the original in my collection.
The production date came from the adultdvdempire listing.. the dvd release date is given as 7/11/2001, and the release date for GBG 22 is given as 6/11/2001..
Classic X Collection uses covers, pictures and usually performers that have nothing to do with the actual film on the disc. The disc for Teenage Runaway is actually the 1976 film Punk Rock by Carter Stevens with Wade Nichols, R. Bolla (as Richard Bolla), Jean Sanders, Susaye London, Don Peterson, Bobby Astyr (as Bob Astyr), Randy Coppasquatto, Crystal Sync, Martin Ford, Clea Carson, Tony Richards, Anna Livia Plurabella, Eric Edwards, Paula Morton, Roger Caine (as Al Livitsky), Phyllis Flowers, Peter Andrews, Susan Le Beau, Mark Le Beau, Madeline Jack, Wayne Anthony, Joanne Shallow,, Pepe and Joy Peters.
Thanks for the details, Flash. I don't get the reason why they don't market a classic X-rated movie like this under the original title and with the original cover art, unless it is indeed a bootleg.
I have a mild interest in good classic stuff myself and might buy a movie like that if I read a favourable review on it or heard something good about it. I'd NEVER buy anything as obviously fishy as this though, if I have any reason to suspect that a cover doesn't accurately represent the contents I stay miles away from it.
I wonder if the person who made up the fake cast list is aware of the linguistic connection between 'Susan Le Beau' and 'Eva LaBelle' BTW.
XrickyromaX, it's impossible for the 'emptor' to heed his 'caveat' with mail order, so indeed it is a scam.
Classic X Collection seemed to be a legit company. I don't think they were a bootleg company. I also don't think they are in business anymore. I'm not sure why they didn't market their discs correctly. They probably would have done much better. Then again some of the films on the discs are complete crap that would never have sold.
