Dark Sky Films has done well by fans of Eurocult fare with this disc of Ricco The Mean Machine. The transfer has some minor flaws but is solid overall: despite a few moments of video grain in a few dark scenes, it offers an anamorphic widescreen image that has a nice levels of detail. Fans will also be happy to know that the film is uncut and all the film's notorious acid-bath scenes are presented intact here. The mono audio uses the English dub of the film and delivers a solid, basic soundscape. Dialogue is sometimes low in the mix but this seems like an aspect of the mix rather than a technical flaw because the other sonic elements come through just fine. Also included are a few extras. The first is an Italian-language trailer (thankfully, the producers saw fit to add English subtitles). The more substantial extra is a video interview with star Chris Mitchum, which not only discusses Ricco The Mean Machine but also offers a nice thumbnail sketch of his career, including some interesting stories about his friendship with John Wayne. All in all, this disc is a solid and reasonably-priced effort that is worth the time for Eurocult fans.

Magnificent transfer
Great film
A Classic. Very well redone in blu- ray.
I saw 'The Time Machine' when I was a kid when it was first released in 1960. Although I was aware of the not so subtle anti-war message, it has a greater impact on my now since I lived through The Cold War, Vietnam, Iraq #twice# and Afghanistan. At any rate, it still is one of my top ten favorite sci-fi films of all time. The effects are still pretty good considering the time it was made, having won an Oscar for visual effects. The story still holds up and the acting is quite good although Yvette Mimieux is pretty bland but still gorgeous nonetheless. The real improvement is the visual quality of the Blu-ray version. The original DVD release was, to be blunt, pretty terrible. The colors were washed out and many of the shots were very grainy particularly those of the sphinx and other matte scenes. This version is nice & crisp, the Metrocolor lives up to its name and I'm seeing stuff I never noticed before. The sound track has NOT been enhanced from what I could tell but it still very good with its rousing score. So, if you currently own the DVD version, give to your local library and pick up this disk. You won't be disappointed. I should also mention that the Blu-ray also has the film's trailer along with a nice 47 minute documentary about George Pal followed by a nice mini-sequel where Rod Taylor, Allen Young & Whit Bissel are reunited to 'finish' the story. This 1993 feature was also on the DVD version.
10 is my rating the movie came on time and great service the tracking is easy and fou d it in my mail box within 7 days or less
Excellent sound & picture quality.
One of my old favorites movies finally on Blue Ray. The movies is great and I will recommend to anyone.
An old classic 1960 time travel movie starring Rod Taylor
A good movie
