Palace X Video: from Fantasyworld (1979) [edited] AussieRoadshow 2019-06-25 | The start and end of a Palace X Video, taken from the VHS release of Fantasyworld (1979), with edits. This particular title was released around September or October of 1984. The Palace X Video label was created in 1984 for the purpose of releasing X-rated hardcore pornographic films for the Australian home video rental market, and it operated for a limited period of time. The X rating was introduced by the Australian federal government in February of 1984 specifically for the home video rental market, to accommodate not only porn films, but any film considered too violent, explicit or extreme for an R rating. X-rated videos were required to be placed in a separate, closed off section of a video library where children were not permitted to enter.As with other retro 'start and end' home video content on my channel, it is presented here for its historical interest, curiosity value, and to educate people about the type of promotional material they contained. I realise it is weirdly edited and I apologise for this. But all of the sexually explicit content needed to be removed because none of it is permitted on YouTube (see Community Guidelines). So it is either this version or nothing at all. The video is therefore suggestive, but not explicit. It sits behind an age restriction and is not intended for viewing by minors.The video is as follows:* X rating advice* Palace X Video opening logo* The Miss Layed Genii (1973) - trailer* Expose Me Now (1982) - trailer* Caligula (1979) - trailer* Stay watching advice (edited, with the titles of the movies added by me)* Start of Fantasyworld and some of the end credits* Object of Desire (1983) - trailer* Expensive Tastes (1978) - trailer [heavily edited]* Intimate Lessons (1982) - trailer [heavily edited]* Prisoners of Paradise (1980) - trailerAside from the titles listed above, the following films were also either released in their uncut hardcore form, or promoted in various video trader magazines as 'coming soon' on the Palace X Video label:* Insatiable (1980)* Up 'n' Coming (1983)* Nurses of the 407 (1982)* Tropic of Desire (1979)* The Good Girls of Godiva High (1979)* Carnal Olympics (1983)* Marathon (1983)We therefore think fifteen Palace X titles in total were released, or intended to be released. With the exception of Caligula, all of these trailers were extensively edited to remove their hardcore scenes. I'm sorry to say the trailers for Expensive Tastes and Intimate Lessons were so sexually explicit that they both lost a lot of footage for inclusion here.

Palace Explosive Video (Horror & Exploitation) trailer marathon AussieRoadshow 2011-02-26 | Thirty odd minutes of horror, exploitation and mondo trailers. Palace Explosive Video was an Australian home video label that existed for a few years from 1984. It released some notorious titles, akin to what could best be described as "video nasties". A total of 39 were released. Some of these were also released in New Zealand. Not all the films they released had trailers, but these are the ones that were most commonly promoted on their tapes. This video is as follows: * Madman * Splatter University * The House on Sorority Row * I Spit On Your Grave (aka: Day of the Woman) * Rape Squad (aka: Act of Vengeance) * Rape Squad (aka: Ms 45, Angel of Vengeance) [EDITED] * Scarred [EDITED] * The Slayer * The Dark * The Beyond * Night of the Zombies (aka: Virus, Hell of the Living Dead, etc) * Cannibal Apocalypse (aka: Invasion of the Flesh Hunters, Cannibals in the Streets) [EDITED] * Creepers (aka: Phenomena)* "Stay Watching for Further Previews" promo advice * The Evictors * Trapped (aka: Baker County U.S.A.) * Shivers (aka: They Came from Within) * Squirm * Rats: Night of Terror * Bloodsucking Freaks (aka: The Incredible Torture Show) [EDITED] * The Killing of America * Savage Man Savage Beast * This Violent World [EDITED]Some of these trailers had to be EDITED to comply with strict YouTube community guidelines in relation to nudity and sexual content. Where this has occurred I have noted it. I'm very sorry about this. But if I did not edit it out, this video would probably be taken down. I would rather you saw something rather than nothing at all. Some facts to note:~ Trailers that were in 16:9 or 14:9 letterbox format have had their ratios stretched out to fit the screen better.~ The film Ms. 45 (promoted here as Rape Squad) was never released by the label. It was instead released under the title 'Angel of Vengeance' on Warner Home Video in a censored form. ~ The mondo film 'Sweet and Savage' was promoted in trade and video magazines as a pending release on the Explosive label. But it did not end up getting released by Palace. It was instead released later on, by the Premiere label (a division of Village Roadshow) in a censored form. The film in its uncut form was originally banned by the censor's office at the time, causing a delay in its release. A teaser trailer for the film was made, however. But it only appeared on some R-rated Premiere and Village Roadshow releases, and never on a Palace Explosive release. ~ Other films promoted by Palace Explosive in print form, but not released on the label include Blood Theatre (released on Palace Films), Tenebrae (Palace Films), Empire of the Ants (Roadshow Home Video), and The Brides Wore Blood (not apparently released at all).~ Palace Explosive Video intended to release the 'H.G. Lewis Blood Trilogy', being Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, and Color Me Blood Red, with all three being promoted in written promo material as well. But the film Color Me Blood Red was unfortunately banned by the Australian censors at the time. It was never submitted back to the censors in a cut version, and remained unreleased until 2005 when it passed uncut and then issued on DVD. The other two were passed uncut at the time though, and were released on home video by the label. Other titles released on the Palace Explosive label (with some lacking promoted trailers) included:* Carnival of Blood* The Curse of the Screaming Dead * Satan's Blade* Schizo * Toxic Zombies* 2000 Maniacs* Blood Feast* Escape from the Insane Asylum* Evil in the Woods* Evil Laugh* Dario Argento's World of Horror* Dances, Sacred and Profane* Mayhem* Mindstalk* Epitaph* LA Crackdown
I gotta stop buying VHS tapes (and crappy vinyl) AussieRoadshow 2011-02-15 | Stopped by RMC Stamps in Moonee Ponds with no intention of buying, but still walked out with a bagful. It's worth a browse if you like second hand CDs, DVDs, an ever dwindling VHS stock, and a mind boggling number of books. You'd never have to pay full price for a book again. I also subject my poor subbers to some god awful 50 cent LPs from a Brotherhood op shop.

Random Xmas update & the Star Video collection.. AussieRoadshow 2010-12-30 | Filmed over about two weeks. JB does not apparently allow people to film inside, but I browsed the world cinema and horror sections anyway (my two fave sections!). The album playing in the background at JB was The National - High Violet. I only bought one film there that day, being The Horseman (2008).

Things sent to me by coffycup75 and accountwithoutrules * Flight of the Navigator (and a CD from Autolux) * Revenge Ends with my small Star Video collection, as follows, with many of these shown before: * In the Realm of the Senses * The House of Seven Corpses * The Changeling * Dressed to Kill * Caboblanco * Carbon Copy * Black Christmas * The Silent Partner * Soggy Bottom USA * C.H.O.M.P.S. * The Garden of Allah * Love Amond the Ruins * Suddenly Single * Bilitis * The Black Stallion / Robin Hood (double feature) * Peter Cottontail / The Adventures of Buster the Bear * Candy Candy / Little Lulu * The Executioner's Song * The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat

A random road trip.. AussieRoadshow 2010-10-26 | A most ridiculous random vid. At Sunbury in the morning for work reasons, but then finished up, had the camera stashed and hours to kill. So I whizzed through Sunbury and drove down a nearby road that was the setting of a Mad Max scene. I love the Mad Max original! Must have seen it 50 times, and it gets even better with age. Ate fatty foodstuffs. Then to Gisborne, Woodend, and Trentham where I pay a visit to the local cemetery (I just LOVE graveyards!). Drove through Bacchus Marsh (didn't stop), picked up a VHS rarity at Melton (I filmed there but unfortunately the movie file ended up corrupted for some reason and therefore could not be included), and then back home to Melbourne. Trawled through some thrift shops that I came across along the way, which is what I always do no matter where I go. By the way it's hayfever season shit for those with hypersensitive immune systems, if you couldn't already tell.
