At the screening of “A Colt is My Passport” a couple weeks back at Fantasia Marc Walkow got everyone excited by mentioning that the folks at the Criterion Collection had bought up “Colt” and six other Nikkatsu action films from the 60’s for some kind of upcoming release. Well, today Marc has finished what he started and has word not only of what’s coming from Criterion for fans of Nikkatsu action, but also from Kino, Cinema Epoch, and more from Mondo Macabro! I’ll break this down for an easier read. Here goes:
Criterion/ Eclipse: Okay we knew about Takashi Nomura’s “A Colt is My Passport” (1967), but now we have to look forward to not one but two Eclipse box sets of Nikkatsu action films, plus two Criterion disks (titles yet to be announced) fleshed out with the usual special features, liner notes, etc.)
Kino: The people who’ve already brought us some great Ryuichi Hiroki and Kihachiro Kawamoto DVDs will be releasing Seijun Suzuki’s 1963 film “Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell, Bastards!” and Tan Ida’s 1967 film “Bakuhatsu sanbyômae” starring Akira Kobayashi.
Cinema Epoch: LA-based Cinema Epoch will be releasing “Bad Girl Mako” (1971) directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara.
Mondo Macabro: Of course yesterday we mentioned the release of Noboru Tanaka’s 1976 film ”The Watcher in the Attic”, but Mondo Macabro has also got Yasuharu Hasebe’s 1976 film “Assault! Jack the Ripper”, “Naked Rashomon” (1973) directed by Chusei Sone, “Sins of Sister Lucia” (1978) directed by Koyu Ohara, “Female Prisoner: Caged” (1983) directed by Masaru Konuma, and “The Marquis De Sade's Prosperities of Love” (1988) directed by Akio Jissoji.
Man! Somebody hold me up! I’m feeling giddy and light in the head. Too. Many. Releases! For more info and tantalizing clues to even more releases head over to Outcast Cinema.

where does the list of romanporno with mondo macabro come from?... as far as i can see, outcast cinema doesn't reveal those titles.
There's a link in Marc's article that lists all of the titles, plus has two images of DVD artwork for "Watcher in the Attic" and "Assault! Jack the Ripper".
oh... the cult movie forums. practically impossible to see links on the outcast cinema blog, far more so than they usually are when they're placed within a lump of text.
