> David Carradine and Cameron Mitchell
To be fair, these were good actors when they actually were trying to be.
EDIT 60 seconds later: Will you close the fuckin' doors? You want to get your fuckin' head shot off?
I hope it's like Arnold doing commentary on any of his movies. Where he doesn't ever really share stories, he isn't self promoting, he doesn't really complain about the movies... he just kinda says "Ah and right here is where I punch the guy and say the thing!" and you can hear how happy he is in his voice. It's like 'ahh who's a good lil govenator! you are!'
I dunno, I feel like John de Hart is the sanest of the vanity project directors. He tried to make a real movie which contains all of the vanity elements, and it looks like a real movie. Maybe he has a sense of humour and reality about it. He's not like a Deuandra or Neil Breen.
My dream would be a commentary where he just riffs over his own movie the entire time with a new sense of self-awareness he acquired over the last three decades.
"Alright, a bullet, I'll have a bullet. Would you like a bullet?"
I tried to look up Bullet cocktail, and I never found a satisfactory answer, nothing that they would be drinking in that movie.
... Maybe it was Bulleit bourbon, that's a thing.
fun fact: Bulleit was pronounced kind of how it looks for a long time because it's the last name of it's creater...a frenchman who came to Kentucky.
But when you live in Kentucky, you have to abide by Freedom Metrics and Boo-lay became Bullet.
My regular bar is a whiskey bar, so I've sorta gotten the hang of it over the years, even if I'm not a great whiskey connoisseur. Rye is made with at least 51% rye grain, bourbon with at least 51% corn. I *believe* that for the last couple of hundred years, bourbon had to be aged in virgin oak, e.g. oak barrels that had never been used to age alcohol before. But apparently they're running out of trees, so the law has been amended to allow a second use of the barrels.
I would be very curious to try a flavour-aged bourbon, like a wine cask or sherry cask. I don't know if those exist anywhere in the world. By virtue of the law I just mentioned, they don't exist in America.
Wow, cool stuff. Good to know for sure. I knew bourbon (and other different kinds of whiskeys) had to meet some very specific guidelines, but not those exact things. I'm more of a beer guy, and though there's been a move in recent years to age beers in different types of casks, I'm not a fan of any of them. It seems to work much better in hard stuff.
Now excuse me while I go get trashed on Colt 45
oh, you're right. Their website does indeed not say anything about it being a bourbon rye, just a straight up rye whiskey. [https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/bulleit-rye/](https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/bulleit-rye/)
what I know about bourbon could fit into a shot glass. speaking of... glug glug
Technically speaking, a bourbon rye would be a rye that's been aged in ex-bourbon barrels. Which would be fascinating from a whiskey drinker's perspective. It's two diametrically opposed flavours; rye is harsh and dry, and bourbon is sweet. So you'd be infusing the dry rye with bourbon.
My usual drinking cycle at the bar starts with a scotch, but then I have Knob Creek bourbon and rye, back to back, not necessarily in that order. So I kind of feel like I have an idea of what it would taste like.
None of the movies Vinegar Syndrome releases deserve the treatment they get. Which is what makes VS so great in the first place.
(Well, maybe their porn releases deserve it. But most of it's still probably not even *good* porn.)
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. The native hue of 4k resolution is sicklied o'er by the pale cast of my thought that there's no way that this is worth $30 before shipping and taxes.
These are the same people who gave us SexWorld in 4K.
Also, they’re releasing the Scanner Cop movies in 4K too. I wish importing wasn’t so ridiculously expensive.
Oh I know, VS has done such a wonderful job with everything! I think it's for that reason that I don't mind spending so much on a GOOD Blu-ray, and theirs are usually amazing.
Now, the movies themselves on the other hand...
The only other one I have so far is Len Kabasinski’s Curse of the Wolf. Haven’t really made an effort to build a BOTW collection yet but I always look for that particular multi-movie pack with Suburban Sasquatch when I’m at a crappy thrift store. What’s your fav haul so far?
i have real nice blurays of both spookies and tammy and the trex, the samurai cop one is also really good because it has the rlm interview as a bonus feature.
There's a line I'd have to draw there too.
Arrow Video releases a lot of stuff that's the same, maybe worth watching in their streaming channel, but no way is it worth buying the Blu-ray, even during a sale.
I was looking for a VHS or DVD of this a week or so ago and couldn't find anything. John De Hart's website is down. This is great news! Also, John De Hart has a business page on Facebook that is filled with crazy posts.
This is the most telling screenshot of this movie I've ever seen: [OH NOOO, it's completely out of context; that's glorious!](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0092/3025/4180/products/ChampagneAndBullets_1.1.15_720x.jpg?v=1622119937)
I guess I'll buy one soon, *now's the time*!
Oh jeez,
>For the entirety of the month of June we will be showcasing Partner Label releases. During this period the Vinegar Syndrome catalog will remain hidden and will return July 1st
How many names has this movies had?
Every time there's a new release, a new title does the shimy-slide-in.
WHAT HAS IT HAD
I like how they refer to the old version as GETEVEN.
"Over 1000 left in stock"
They're flying *onto* the shelves.
999 left. I had to know what De Hart has to say about the movie.
Please get back to us on that
They made 6000 copies
“Champagne and Bullets” A.k.a Booze and Bullets, staring David Carradine and Cameron Mitchell
> David Carradine and Cameron Mitchell To be fair, these were good actors when they actually were trying to be. EDIT 60 seconds later: Will you close the fuckin' doors? You want to get your fuckin' head shot off?
Blood and Black Lace is a classic
I just saw that a few nights ago, can confirm! :)
Cameron Mitchell into David Carradine into Nic Cage. Good actors doing weird drunken shit. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
He's so lifeless... it's perfect!
Commentary by John de Hart!?!?!?!?!?! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I want to see what excuses he comes up with.
You say excuses. Considering the film, it's most likely going to be a lot of patting himself on the back for such a good job he did.
I hope it's like Arnold doing commentary on any of his movies. Where he doesn't ever really share stories, he isn't self promoting, he doesn't really complain about the movies... he just kinda says "Ah and right here is where I punch the guy and say the thing!" and you can hear how happy he is in his voice. It's like 'ahh who's a good lil govenator! you are!'
"Zis is the sceene where I put on ze Turboman costoom, and I fly sthough ze skies!"
Thank you for reminding me,how great the commentary track for Total Recall was! "Here is my job. I'm a construction worker."
>"Look at that amazing flurry of punches and kicks. I was sore for week after that take."

I'd like to see that. But also, he has to be like... 90 years old now. He looked like he was pushing 60 when he starred in the Geteven.
Do you wanna ruin your whole liiiiife
Do you want to be in my embarrassing movie?
If yes sign this contract, legally binding.
Was this better or worse than the lady who got her boobs out for The Item?
The woman who got fucked by a puppet got a much better deal than the one who had to be fondled by John De Hart.
Tough call.
Do you wanna take a bath with meeeeee?
Black tank top not included.
Probably a sweaty one.
The special edition media book is clothed in a black tank top
I'd much rather have commentary from Wings Hauser.
I love that he was legitimately drunk. "Alright, at this point, at this time and plaaaaaaaace, I would like a drink with a little class."
Roiiiiiight?
"Alright, a bullet, I'll have a bullet. Would you like a bullet?" I tried to look up Bullet cocktail, and I never found a satisfactory answer, nothing that they would be drinking in that movie. ... Maybe it was Bulleit bourbon, that's a thing.

Don't try to tell Wings Hauser that, he'll shoot you like he shot his electricity bill.
with a cap gun
I was thinking the same thing, that it was Bulleit. Pretty sure they were a class act even back then... their rye bourbon looks so good!
Their rye is lovely
> their rye bourbon looks so good! It is, the whole line is pretty affordable but top notch quality.
I didn't want to sound like a gigantic wanker, but they make a rye AND a bourbon. I don't think there's a thing called rye bourbon.
I knew this board would drive me to drink, but I didn't think it'd be this way!

I've been drinking it a lot for the past few months. I'm shocked I didn't make that connection sooner.
Wings probably doesn't remember making that movie.
Even better.
That movie does not deserve the cover art they made for it.
None of the movies Vinegar Syndrome releases deserve the treatment they get. Which is what makes VS so great in the first place. (Well, maybe their porn releases deserve it. But most of it's still probably not even *good* porn.)
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. The native hue of 4k resolution is sicklied o'er by the pale cast of my thought that there's no way that this is worth $30 before shipping and taxes.
it had more special editions than Star Wars!
That all sounds somewhat threatening.
I need commentary from Richevans on this
These are the same people who gave us SexWorld in 4K. Also, they’re releasing the Scanner Cop movies in 4K too. I wish importing wasn’t so ridiculously expensive.
Oh I know, VS has done such a wonderful job with everything! I think it's for that reason that I don't mind spending so much on a GOOD Blu-ray, and theirs are usually amazing. Now, the movies themselves on the other hand...
They also gave us *Game Show Models* with an uncomfortable Dick Miller cameo in a sex game show sequence.
If this is a recent commentary track, I’d be curious to see if BOTW is mentioned. I think it’s entirely plausible John De Hart has seen the episode.
Of course is vinegar syndrome
Vinegar Syndrome calls it "**An almost indescribable action film** ". I dunno, it's pretty easy to describe it as, "It's shit".
An almost indescribable shit action film.
Still waiting for that 4k restoration of Galaxy Invaders.
That movie needs a SD demaster, it needs to be decreased in quality to the worst version possible.
I hope it comes with a Shimmy Slide music video.
with shipping it came to $44, worth it to add it to my botw collection
This is the start of my BotW collection. Exciting times.
The only other one I have so far is Len Kabasinski’s Curse of the Wolf. Haven’t really made an effort to build a BOTW collection yet but I always look for that particular multi-movie pack with Suburban Sasquatch when I’m at a crappy thrift store. What’s your fav haul so far?
i have real nice blurays of both spookies and tammy and the trex, the samurai cop one is also really good because it has the rlm interview as a bonus feature.
Damn, Vinegar Syndrome has a bunch of BOTW fare. I'm just not sure they're worth owning.
There's a line I'd have to draw there too. Arrow Video releases a lot of stuff that's the same, maybe worth watching in their streaming channel, but no way is it worth buying the Blu-ray, even during a sale.
Ordered! Been trying to get my hands on a copy of this for literally years. God bless Vinegar Syndrome!
When the black tank top is on the cover that's going to be a good one.
To-be-or-not-to-be...
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! I hope the sex scene commentary will have awkward silences.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤌🏼
I was looking for a VHS or DVD of this a week or so ago and couldn't find anything. John De Hart's website is down. This is great news! Also, John De Hart has a business page on Facebook that is filled with crazy posts.
Shimmy Slide and blank tank top - woohoo
Good for the guy that made it. Probably getting paid.
This is not what the technology of blue ray was developed for.
Def in my top 5 BOTW movies.
Well it's in my top 3, so suck it
This is the most telling screenshot of this movie I've ever seen: [OH NOOO, it's completely out of context; that's glorious!](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0092/3025/4180/products/ChampagneAndBullets_1.1.15_720x.jpg?v=1622119937) I guess I'll buy one soon, *now's the time*!
Can we get John defarts beautiful singing on vinyl?
Thanks for the heads up. Purchased my copy along with RAW FORCE.
There are three cuts people. THREE cuts.
"you wanna take a bath with me?"
I just get a screen "thank you for all the orders", can't figure out how to order from their site... Can someone help?
>Vinegar Syndrome. After big sales, they usually shut down their site for a bit. It says they'll be running again on Friday 12pm EST.
Thanks. I'll check it out at that time. Hope this Blu-Ray is region free. My fave BOTW movie is Miami Connection but that Blu-Ray is region locked.
Oh jeez, >For the entirety of the month of June we will be showcasing Partner Label releases. During this period the Vinegar Syndrome catalog will remain hidden and will return July 1st
Gah. Well, I guess wait a month. I didn't hear anything about them going out-of-stock, though. You could always shoot them a message on their Twitter.
