[formaldehydepictures]

Brilliant stuff. Do you watch the tapes these days... or do you stick to the digital versions?

[AussieRoadshow]

@formaldehydepictures

Oh yes definitely still watching old tapes. VHS still lives in my household for sure!!

[vinto34]

due to censorship restrictions,some titles may not be available in all states ..alot of my roadshow tapes have this written on the back cover.

[AussieRoadshow]

Palace covers had that advice on the back as well. Conservative states like Queensland and South Australia outlawed some of the more violent movies.

This brings back so many memories for me as I used to work for Roadshow home video in the late 80's at their Sydney distribution branch in O'Riordan st Alexander. I used to send all those posters out by the 1000's and all other merchandise mainly to video shops. God those were the days..thanks for the memories.

I was in that store you brought up at 4:37 and I bought Creepshow 3 and Mega Piranha

[CogLife]

you've got some good stuff there. That insemenoid is a classic , came out on dvd couple of years or more, with some good extras. I missed out on some great x-rental and closing down sales bout ten or so years back, blast.

G'day mate, just found your channel as I was looking around for Roadshow VHS stuff. I just got a few more to my collection of tapes, including the awesome Naked Fist! Thanks for the tip in this video about the date stamp sticker, I can read now that it was released 27 9 (198)2. It's an early one with the Previews label in the bottom right corner. Quality was great after all these years and the movie isn't on DVD!

Of Course I Know Some Of The Previews On Scanners

The Never Dead

King Of The Mountain

And Alvin Purple

[LoneWolfHowl1]

I'm surprised you didn't point out Gallipoli on the back of Blood Beach there.

An Aussie classic and one of Mel Gibson's finest works.
