Oh, those wacky bootleggers

Images of Hong Kong bootleg DVDs.

Notice, in particular, the MPAA warning on the back of the Dukes of Hazzard one. If it were actually accurate, I might want to see the movie.

oooOOOooo! That's a Dukes of Hazzard that I wouldn't mind seeing...

[yendi]

Just some good ol' boys, meanin' lots of harm.

You know, the torture could be the fact that if ye rent it, you have to actually sit through it. The torture could be the movie itself!

You got your Miike in my 70s TV show retread!

[yendi]

It's a Reese's Peanut Butter Retread!

Did you notice the AOL keyword was "feardotcom"?

[yendi]

Heh. Yeah -- guess they just grafted the warning from an older DVD. Weird choice, though.

I can see the taglines...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to "Hazzard" County...

They call it "Hazzard" county for a reason...

Enter "Hazzard County," and you'll leave screaming back towards the county line...

On the Sin City box, the aspect ratio listed is for "THEY" not Sin City.

I'd missed that one!

Hooyeah! Boss Hogg, grisly torture, and Malay subtitles. I want me some of that. ;-)

I'm pretty sure there's fanfic out there that's got at least the first two.

Yes, but does it have all the fine production value I've come to expect from bootleg DVD's? (which I've never actually purchased, *ahem*)

[unrepentant.livejournal.com]

The people being tortured are in the audience.

UH-OH!

I wonder if the subtitles talk about how Anakin was "just made by the Presbyterian Church".

[ketzl.livejournal.com]

What, you don't think it features grisly images of language?

[yendi]

Well, that's a good point.

Hee. Yes, I get much joy from the misspellings on the back of my HK bootleg of Deadwood season One. Which I didn't know was a bootleg when I bought it on eBay. Although I guess I should have, given how little I paid for it.
