Restored 2.35:1 Anamorphic PAL release with all the footage, including the removed scene and a commonly misplaced scene being in the right place (Their are major problems with the French, American, Australian, and Holland releases of this film). This DVD also has sensational features. This is by far the best release of NY Ripper ever.

Format:Blu-ray
Why oh why have 2 video reviews been transferred to this product? Absolutely pointless.
I have owned every format of this film from the NTSC VHS to the Anchor Bay DVD, the Another World Restored edition and now the Blu Ray.
I remember watching the restored AWE DVD and being stunned by the transfer quality. I gave it a much deserved 5 stars.
After watching the Blu Ray last night I am absolutely stunned (again), but even more so this time. The quality of the transfer is a thing of beauty for a film that was made 30 years ago and not with top of the range equipment. It is a thing of beauty.
The extras are o.k. but not as good as I had hoped.
For anyone who is yet to watch the film be prepared for some rather graphic and sleazy violence and story. This is one of my favorite films and I find a couple of scenes rather horrid. The locations make the film and I can't think of a film that show's New York in the start of the 80's better.
5 stars all the way.

Format:DVD
Wow, what can i say. It's definatley my favourite of Lucio Fulc's films. I do love the Zombie films he did but this is just a bit more of a shocker.
It is a disturbing gorefest about the police trying to track down a serial killer who bizarrely does speak with a 'Donald Duck' voice. It's a good take on all those Starsky and Hutch, Streets of San Fransisco old cop programmes but with that psychotic violent edge to it.
The killing scenes are awesomly graphic and the sound effects just add that extra edge of shock. It will appaul some people with the very anti-women kinda killing,the killer is very angry against women and really takes it out on them. The gore is of course old school and not always too convincing but with the brilliant camera work and soundtrack and sound effects it makes a very sick and enjoyable horror film for me. It's up there with Argento's 'Opera' as one of my faves.
If you like sick old a bit gory films then you should enjoy this. Yeah for sure it's nowt like his zombie flicks but it's a really well done film for it's day, and one that will offend and appaul some, which is why we love it just that bit more. :-D

Format:DVD
One of Fulci's exploitation/slasher/giallo movies.
If you are a Fulci fan or a fan of the graphic, violent Italian horror films of the 70s and 80s I suspect you'll like it and would give it more than 3 stars. It is a violent giallo film that has the usual Fulci explicit gore in abundance.
It revolves around a serial killer (who speaks in a Donald Duck-type voice! - yes, really!) and is essentially a violent whodunnit with some false leads and twists.
Not a bad film (for the genre), some good sequences and a bit of tension at points. The reason I've only given three stars is because it feels a bit uncomfortably misogynistic. (I'm a bloke who will quite happily watch Argento films all day long without feeling that he's misogynistic).
If you are a Fulci fan and don't own this it is probably one of his better films and you'd probably like it.
If you are not a Fulci fan there are much better giallo films out there - try some Argento's ("Tenebrae", "Profondo Rosso"/"Deep Red") for example.

Amazing Blu Ray!
Amazing picture quality. DTS sound is as good as it can be considering the age of the film. One of my favourite slashers from one of my favourite directors. Worth the money! Read more

Shame about the duck
More sadistic giallo from the Italian splatter master Lucio Fulci. I would have to say this is the most depraved film I've seen of his. Read more

SLEAZY
I love Fulcis films. I dont like this one though. It just doesnt seem to gel or work. Obviously the gore and violence are just as extreme and realistic as anything he has done... Read more

Odd film. Best left to the Fulci fans.
This is one of the director Lucio Fulci's 'giallo' films. Giallo being derived from many italian detective and mystery novels being published in the past with yellow (gialli)... Read more
