What movies are available? I've been a major fan ever since reading years and years ago in an interview with Rob Zombie that he once met Kitten Natividad in a video store, and she signed a picture of her that he carries around with him.

I thought her name was fantastic, and the picture was even better :) and tried to track down movies with her in.

The first one I found was 'Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens', and it was on SKY Movies Gold that night!

Completely hooked from then on, and have seen every one I could track down, my favourites being UP! ("Haven't you forgetten somesing?" ;)) and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

I think MB is a fan, I think we talked about RM before on a thread ages ago.

Guys, any info?

They are out in France, I've got Faster Pussycat Kill!Kill! and Beneath the Valley, they are really cheap but the quality isn't that great, but it's better than nothing.

I believe MB did some reviews of them at bullets and babes.

And you are right, they are great films.

Six titles are available on the Fravidis label - <I>Motor Psycho</I>, <A HREF="http://www.bulletsnbabesdvds.com/article.php?sid=226">Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!</A>, <I>Vixen</I>, <A HREF="http://www.bulletsnbabesdvds.com/article.php?sid=438">Supervixens</A>, <A HREF="http://www.bulletsnbabesdvds.com/article.php?sid=240">Up!</A> (aka Megavixens) and <A HREF="http://www.bulletsnbabesdvds.com/article.php?sid=337">Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens</A>. All have English and French soundtracks and optional French subtitles, with some reasonably entertaining mostly text-based French-language extras.

I've reviewed four of those in full - click on the titles for details - but they're much of a muchness: clearly sourced from masters originally intended for VHS, the transfers are very soft indeed, doing no justice whatsoever to Meyer's normally ultra-crisp visual style. Still, they're cheap (roughly a tenner each) and they'll do until something better comes along.

Got this mail last week re R1 DVDs:

"Up," "Mondo Topless," and "Cherry, Harry & Raquel" will be released on dvd early next year. Possibly in January.

Other titles will follow.

Thank you for your interest in RM Films.

Expect them to be expensive as they sell the videos for £50!!
