I just acquired another movie on film! I got the 1973 Martial Arts film, and my personal favorite, Chinese Hercules on 16mm! Bolo Yeung is a complete bad ass of a villain in this movie. When he's asked about what's to be done with someone in the way; "WE KILL 'EM ... AND DUMP 'EM!"
I believe that the film is in the public domain as there is a ton of copies of the film out there. So, that means I now have five films that are in the public domain that I own on celluloid. With this new addition, I do believe that a film festival is in order? This is what I have on celluloid:
Chinese Hercules (1973) - 16mm
Lucky Texan (1934) - 16mm
The Monster Walks (1932) - Super 8mm
Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror (1922) - Super 8mm
S.S. Girls (1977) - 35mm
S.S. Girls is most likely not in the public domain. But, I do think that the U.S. rights are up for grabs as the license expired from the hack studio that originally released it on DVD here in the States. Also, I have a mysterious 16mm reel with some sort of television programming from Japan. Watch it be like that Nic Cage 8MM that came out in 1998.
So, maybe in the Fall of 2013, set up a film festival and screen all of these films prints, minus the Japanese 16mm and S.S. Girls and screen Traumatic Possession: The Director's Cut and Into the Madness as well?
