[GSyren]

I haven't posted my new purchases before, because I didn't have an easy way to create nice formatted posts. I finally did something about it, so here is what has arrived to me in December, so far:

Compañeros UPC 827058-704694 | Italy 1970 | 119 minutes | Blue Underground Yodlaf Peterson (Franco Nero of DJANGO) is a suave Swedish arms dealer with a love for fast money.

But when the two men team up to kidnap a professor who holds the key to a fortune in gold, they find themselves hunted by the American army, stalked by a marijuana-crazed sadist (Academy Award® winner Jack Palance) and trapped in the middle of a revolution about to explode. Can these two enemies blast their way across Mexico together without killing each other first? Written and directed by the legendary Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO, THE GREAT SILENCE), COMPAÑEROS is a once-in-a-lifetime teaming of the two greatest European stars in 'Spaghetti Western' history. Fernando Rey (THE FRENCH CONNECTION) and Karin Schubert (BLACK EMANUELLE) co-star in this action-packed comedy classic that also features a remarkable score by Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY). Now freshly transferred in gorgeous High Definition from the original negative, COMPAÑEROS is presented here in both its English and full-length Italian Versions for the first time ever!

What seems like a desperate cry for help leaves the space travelers trapped on a shadowy planet, where each is taken over by a diabolical force intent with an evil plan beyond their worst nightmares. Now in glorious high definition, this dazzling mixture of suspense, sci-fi and full-blooded horror from cinematic maestro Mario Bava (Black Sunday, Black Sabbath) inspired decades of chilling alien classics and now proudly stands as one of the most electrifying, visually stunning cult classics of Italian filmmaking's golden age.
