Has anyone ordered from them before? They have a movie that has never before been available on vhs or disc, and has been a holy grail of mine for some twenty-five years. Was really excited that it resurfaced - it's a forgotten movie, almost no-one has ever even head of it.

Sent payment three weeks ago, postal money order. My first email inquiry on order status was ignored. Just sent a second.

Voyage to the End of the Universe is it's Americanized name, originally Ikarie XB-1. From Czechoslovakia 1963, one of those slow serious types like 2001 and Solaris.

For years nobody had even heard of it, but two or three years ago it got restoration and toured with an exhibition of movies from that nation.

I saw it in the mid-Seventies on tv, local channel showed at midnight Friday in the summer and it's stayed with me since.

Hey Dreamer I ordered a Jayne Kennedy(Remember her? married to Leon Issac Kennedy they did a Grade Z Film Together called Pennitary and they Both did some Pictures Together in Playboy) Well I saw a Claim of a Private VERY "R" Rated Tape Ms Kennedy supposedly Made lol from an Outfit called "Something Weird Video" Well Long Story Short, I got the Tape BUT it was Blank! Arrgh And come to think of it in the THOUSANDS of "Celeb" Nude Sites I've Looked at I've NEVER seen ANYBODY EVER have ANY shots of Ms. Kennedy that were ANY more candid than her 1980 Pictorial in PlayBoy! I shoulda known better. Now if ya' ask for Barbara Carrera They can show ya' OBGYN Pictures! lol But What your lookin' for ISN'T ADULT So I wonder why your gettin the Run a' Round? hmmmm Well On a happier Note I did just find a Copy (in DVD no less!) of a Grail Movie of mine It's Ms. Carrera and Rock Hudson in "Embryo" FOR ONLY $3.00 on Amazon!!! did ya' try there? Boy I REALLY Sound like an Unmarried Perv don't I? lol Well TRUST ME My Wife has some VERY Improper Intentions for Angelina Jolie as Well!! lol

Something Weird Video is a legitimate outfit, John, don't know if you were just unlucky and got a bad tape or got a dupe. I've bought quite a few of of their DVD's and they usually put a lot of care into them, they usually have remastered pictures, tons of extras, period shorts, and other fun stuff. I have their Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield, one of the best "bad" movies ever made. Jayne had the misfortune to be decapitated in a auto accident about halfway thru this "nudie" film, but in the best Plane Nine tradition this didn't stop the intrepid film makers. They just hired a imitator to do the creepy "from beyond" narration, spliced in some grisly accident scene newsreel footage from the crash, and an incredibly macarbe scene where her husband and kids give a tour of her house (a female version of Jethroe's "swinging bachelor pad") and grave! Great stuff!

I've never heard of Bijou Flix, Dreamer, but I've had mail order tapes arrive long after I had given up on them, so there's still hope!

Oh yeah Phil- I TOTALLY agree with ya' Something Weird IS a Decent Place And Like I said Since then I've had the MAGIC of the World Wide Web to Browse sites such as Mr. Skin and MANY others and I collect Attractive Photos for Our Web Shots (Screen Savers) Of Course Any REALLY "Candid" Pics of Say Ms. Jolie, We keep in a File out of Public View. I have the Web Shots Set up so that for a few seconds you'll have a Pic of an Original Aurora Jekyll Glow Box Then the next Shot is Selma with the Giant Snake around her from Dusk Till Dawn Then Maybe A Blown up Pic of the Ol' "Mars Attacks" Cards. So as I was Sayin' I've Even Found Shots of Kirsten Dunce lol Losing her Bikini Top as she got out of the Beach Water(And I ONLY collect Real Candid Photos!) BUT NEVER! NEVER! have I seen ANY shots of Ms Jayne Kennedy in ANY Provocitive Pics besides those which she Posed for with her Husband (and Somehow Playboy Managed to Show you her Profile COMPLETLEY in the Buff BUT YET you managed to see NUTHIN! lol) So I think IF there were any Films Besides the Old Wonder Woman Series to see MORE of this Beautiful (well back then lol) Actress I'm Sure At LEAST a Screen Grab would have appeared! Oh and Dreamer- Phil is Also right in that These Films you Mail Order can Take For Freakin' EVER!!!! lol so don't give up
JOHN/LONFAN
BTW PHIL- Did ya' Ever See Loni Anderson Play Jane Mansfeild with Arnold as the Body-Builder Husband? Great Flick but Kinda Campy But then so was Jane right? lol

You guys got more modern wives than me, my wife thinks Jolie is a untalented skank that f-ed over that sweet Jennifer Anniston. My sole chance for a threesome is if we ever happen to run into Shania Twain.

John (and the rest of ya): any woman, wife, who's got interests along those lines has my respect! You're preachin' to the perver- uh, the converted here.

Phil, I hope you're right, They have a website that they've put money into, they've invested in original cover artwork for some of their titles, and they seem to know their obscure movies. They've got endorsements from such places as Variety magazine (assuming those refs are authentic). They also say they have only a small staff...their ignoring my two emails could mean their computer is down, or their customer relations person (to whom they direct order status inquiries) is absent...I don't mind a delay, but I do wish they would answer my emails and keep me informed. I'll write a letter tonight and ask one more time. Also check with the post office, have them trace the money order and see if it was cashed. By their own statements, it should take only a week even if payment is by postal m. o. I mailed it three weeks ago now. They ship by priority mail, and that's from one state away.

On the suspicious side, though, they also claim not to be a bootleg outfit...but I wonder at the presence of a few of their titles, which seem to be the same restored prints of silent films that I thought only Kino had rights to...

BTW, they do have Killdozer! ;) By their own admission, it's not in good shape...but they have it!

Well Dave,Phil,Spe and the lot of ya' lol Here's thing (Not to take this Off WAY off Topic) How can I say this "Tamely" lol See The BEST LOOKIN' Woman I EVER saw besides my Mrs. was a Barbara Carrera/Racheal Ward Type who was working in a Fla Mall Jewelry Store circa 1994. The Amazing part of this is that it was my Wife who pointed her out!!We'd Only been married a Year at the Time and I'm thinkin' Either this Woman is Gay or REALLY COOL! (okay I stole that Line from Friends lol) Anyhoo Although you guys Don't really Know me EXcept for an Annonmous Guy on the BB I WILL Admitt ALTHOUGH that French Word has NEVER happened to us (yet lol) and Probly NEVER will Darn it! I gotta admitt just the mere Senario being set up IF you follow me ALWAYS Assures me of a Great Evening! When We lived in Fla. (and before we had Kids! lol) The Wifey and I would once and awhile Stay at a nice Motel (the Neptune) in Hollywood Fla. right on the Beach,Well we were swimming in the Motel's Pool when BOTH of our Jaws Droped. In to the Pool walks/Swims this Amazing Woman! She looked like a Version of Selma Hayek!!! and whats more,this lady was wearing a Bikini that was NUTHIN' more than 3 stratigicly placed triangles of Material that did nothing to contain her Ample Chest(s) lol Well BEFORE this starts sounding like an Adult Chat Room Lemmie just say what happened was it was my Birthday and that night after going to a great Resturant the Mrs. decided to take me over to the "Club Pink Pussy Cat" across the Street.Okay so while we are there she gets me a Lapdance (yes she IS a good sport huh? lol) Well later I devert the Wifeys attention over by the Stage and I say "Hey That Girl Looks Like The One In The Pool Today Does'nt She?" We Get her over to our Table and By God It WAS THE SAME GIRL! Now while we were Swimming She barely Noticed us BUT Now she Practicly Ran over to us, and Recognized us as "The Hot Couple From The Pool" Then she kissed BOTH of us! and told us her name was Tatinia! OMG the wife seemed pretty embarassed Especially when Tat Dragged us both down from our Table to a couple of seats RIGHT BESIDE the little runway Stage. I'll NEVER forget this Even the Songs they played as this Selma Danced "Magic Carpet Ride"everytime I watch First Contact now I always think of this! lol) and Joe Cocker's "The Letter" Anyhoo In Fla the "Dancers" or allowed to take off ALL of their Costume and so by the end of the Songs this woman went out of her way to finsh her set Directly in front of the Mrs. even Crawling across the Stage to Kiss her again! Yeah I was enjying the Show! well Later as we were leaving This Dancer Gave us her number and insisted we call her "To Party" sometime, We both agreed we were too scared to actually call her BUT Believe me, That whole Experience as it happened Fueled our Imaginations enough that within a couple of Weeks the Wife Became Pregant with are Daughter!!! lol and AFTER she was born we went back down to the Club and Found Tatinia and we told her something like "SEE WHAT YOU MADE US DO?!" lol Well ever since then NUTHIN like that has ever happened Again (darn it!) BUT I do have the advantage of being able to Talk about Actresses with the Mrs. like I would with Howard Stern! lol Well I Hope I didn't work too "Blue" here lol I have noticed as you folks may have,that it seems as though (Especially after the Famous Britney/Maddona Kiss) Women have been more and more Comfortable saying "Yeah I find Some other Women VERY Hot!!" Well I guess my Honey is just ahead of her time! and for that I feel truly Blessed!

Got an email from Laura at Bijou, they have just re-opened their offices after some kind of emergency that had to be attended to. She hasn't found my order yet, but hasn't checked their P/O. box yet. That's where I sent it, the post office box, so things are looking up! :)

So, did you ever end up getting the video? There are no dates on this thread, so I don't know when this was posted; But anyway, I just ordered a movie I've want for YEARS and have found NO WHERE and sent them a payment (not through the mail, but the computer) weeks ago and still no movie. I'm wondering if they went out of business or something? =/

I did get my movie, very quickly after I contacted them by email. Good package, movie in good shape. That was almost four years ago, though, no idea how the ecomony is affecting them. I know it's shut down at least one outfit I liked, X-Ploited (a good resource for obtaining legit copies of non-region1 DVDs).


I hope you can either contact them or recover your money. Was it through PayPal?

Yeah, I'm starting to think that maybe they went out of business, most likely because of the economy. Although, I don't know.. they still have the website up. I emailed them through 2 different contact email addresses, and no reply. No movie in the mail. Nothing. I've been dying for "Barn of the Blood Llama" (LOL) and was SO excited to find it being sold.
Nope, it was paid by credit card :(
Hm. I wonder what the problem is; especially if they still have the site up.
I guess I have to figure out some way to get my money back =/
