Spotting him just hanging around in the background as a random henchman is literally the only thing I remember about the movie Blow.

He's also in the Rifftrax of Bermuda Triangle, which I highly recommend. There are many Pumaman callbacks.

Saw the showing of "Eegah!" here in PDX tonight. They must be just raking in the dough on merchandise on this tour. I'd completely blocked out how creepy parts of the film were. "Here, daughter of mine. Pretend to drink this nasty water or he might sexually harass you." WTF? Also, BANG

Here's how the rights are for the "MIA" titles: Rocketship X-M is owned by Wade Williams. While he licensed other titles before, he apparently finds the film "special" to him and won't license it. The two Godzillas are obviously owned by Toho and likely to remain MIA if they made Rhino take Megalon out of print. I think the US rights are also with Classic Media, which is now part of Dreamworks/Paramount. The Amazing Colossal Man, It Conquered the World, Terror from the Year 5000, and I Was a Teenage Werewolf are all owned by the Samuel Z. Arkoff estate and they apparently want an absurd amount of money to license the films, which is why they've remained MIA even unriffed. Attack of the the Eye Creatures seems to be part of the AIP library (owned by MGM), so I'm confused to what rights issues could be holding it back. It seems to be a remake of a film that's part of the Arkoff Estate holdings, so perhaps that's why. Fire Maidens from Outer Space, The Deadly Bees, and The Space Children are owned by Paramount (who also owns Girls Town and Diabolik), but currently licensed to Olive Films, who has put out recent DVD/Blu-Rays of the unriffed films. My guess is that Olive isn't able to sublicense the films to Shout! while they have the rights due to a contract or something. No idea what's holding back Quest of the Delta Knights. Last video release was from Hemdale Home Video, which later became part of MGM. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Aug 1, 2017 |

Still, managing to do official releases of all but 12 out of ~190 episodes is pretty good. But yeah, seriously movie owners just release the drat things. There's no reason not to.

At this point you'd think these companies would just do it to avoid being one of the last holdouts and thus getting nerds banging their door down about it.

They're insane hardasses about rights and licensing in every way. They once scuttled a DVD release of a film that wasn't available stateside because some unauthorized behind the scenes photos made it into the special features. This was a movie from 1972, mind you.

It's also possible that the Godzilla movies were never supposed to be licensed in the first place. Wikipedia says Megalon was incorrectly assumed to be in the public domain for some time and I doubt Film Ventures International properly licensed it from Toho directly. That's exactly how the initial DVD ended up being an issue - the rights holder Rhino was dealing with didn't actually have the rights. After doing some more research, I think The Eye Creatures might be owned by Retromedia since the DVD was from them. Also, I wonder if Shout! would be able to pull a "switcheroo" by licensing the three Paramount/Olive episodes to Olive Films rather than licensing the films. Maybe after rights become available in the future, Shout! can capitalize on them being "lost" episodes.

Glad Diabolik and Girls Town made it to the final set. Both are classics. I really want to know more about what's up with Delta Knights. The rights issues for the other episodes all make sense, but who the hell is holding up Delta Knights?
