Little Tony has seen better days. https://www.rapsheets.org/oklahoma/doc-prisoner/KRASSER_TRAVIS/220526
If you like Blood Lake and have a weird obsession with it, you might try checking out this podcast. He does "One Minute With Blood Lake and Iced" episodes starting with episode 220. I found it oddly addictive. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/eventually-supertrain/id1136263578?mt=2
AGFA/Bleeding Skull really nailed this release. I watched it the other day, and the transfer is a noticeable improvement in visible detail over my old VHS. There is just a tiny bit of information missing from the top of the frame compared to the VHS, but it's hardly noticeable. While shot on video, it's obviously never going to look great...but this is most likely about as as good as it's ever going to look. I honestly prefer it that way too, it's a time capsule of the era. The audio commentary was one of the best that I've listened to in a while. Even if you dislike (or just vaguely like) the movie, it's well worth playing...very informative and a lot of fun. Tim Boggs comes off as a very likable guy, and his early short film Ashes on the disc was quite original as well. It's a shame he never directed another film, but he has been very prolific over the years in the Hollywood sound/editing field (just check his extensive IMDB credits).
Someday I hope I understand why I NEED to buy movies like this. I KNOW it's going to suck, but I'm powerless to resist the allure of Lil' Tony. There goes $15 that ain't comin' back. I unironically look forward to checking this out.
