Flesh Gordon (Blu-ray) review summaries:
Flash's
Flesh Gordon is a softcore parody of Flash Gordon, which combines the right level of camp, cheesy special effects, and ambition behind it to be a fun film, even though the originally conceived hardcore version was never to be. Fans of hardcore films from the 70s should find a lot of fun here, while also trying to find the blue screen actors and actresses from the era in the film hiding in the remaining close to hardcore footage. Hen's Tooth Video has done a decent job with their Blu-ray release of Flesh Gordon. The picture exhibits some heavy grain, and the colors appear to be overly muted in places however, this is likely the best the film will ever look for the home video market. [read the full review]

M-3D The Movie / The Playmates review summaries:
Flash's
This release from Asterix combines two of Stephen Gibson's Deep Vision 3D movies, one that originally had a hardcore version and one that was only softcore. M-3D!: The Movie is an enjoyable film even though only the soft-X cable cut is available here and The Playmates in Deep Vision 3-D wasn't as good. Asterix did a poor job with this release utilizing poor transfers that don't look very good or work well with the 3D. The extras that have been collected for this release are lacking, to say the least. Stephen Gibson has said that 3D Blu-rays are coming for both titles, so it would be wise to wait for them instead of seeking out the old Asterix DVD. [read the full review]

Beach Blanket Bango review summaries:
Flash's
Beach Blanket Bango is an adult film that had some thought behind it, an attempt at a good plot, and some decent production values. The plot has issues though, mostly trying to do so much in such a short time that what is here gets too watered down. Classic X Collection has only included the softcore version of Beach Blanket Bango on this release which has more plot than the hardcore version but the hardcore sex is poorly chopped out. The release itself has issues with a low quality transfer. [read the full review]
