Member since: 1/25/2011 | | Coleman Francis Trilogy | | I would LOVE to have a set of the Coleman Francis trilogy. While "Skydivers" is available uncut on the Vol. 1 boxset, and "Beast of Yucca Flats" is in the public domain, I would love to purchase a DVD set including the not-on-DVD, "Red Zone Cuba", especially with any kind of special features that could be made **cough** Frank Conniff commentary **cough**!! Anyone else agree? Or am I just a masochist, wanting to burn my eyes out with endless viewings of Cherokee Jack? |

Member since: 8/10/2008 | | RE: Coleman Francis Trilogy | | Yes, I definitely agree. I enjoyed Frank's commentary in the Abbott & Costello boxed set I picked up a while back (I mentioned that to him when I went to see Cinematic Titanic and he said nobody'd ever said that to him before) and I believe he'd be great. I was lucky(?) enough to find "Red Zone Cuba" on VHS a long time ago (there was an Anthony Cardoza website and it was for sale there - I don't think the site's up anymore), but anyway, it'd be so cool to see it on DVD. |

Member since: 1/25/2011 | | RE: Coleman Francis Trilogy | | Well, it's nice to know that SOMEONE else would be down for such a thing. I have a VHS rip of Red Zone Cuba, but I'd love to see them all together in a little restored set on DVD, and I'm sure Frank would be down to say something about them. He seems to have a great fascination (as I do) for Coleman Francis and his trilogy of films. Also, thanks for telling me about those Abbott and Costello commentaries! I had no idea those existed. I'll have to pick those DVDs up. |

Member since: 1/25/2011 | | RE: Coleman Francis Trilogy | | Awesome! Thanks. Yeah I loved Abbot & Costello when I was a kid, used to own them all on VHS, so I'll definitely have to pick up that boxset. I want it even more, now that I know that Frank's on them! |
