VCI is releasing their version at the end of August. I know the SS has their own version but should I wait for the VCI version or spring for the other one?

Dr. G can do good work as even his detractors will admit. I doubt the VCI version will be wildly better; so, if you want one now there is little reason to wait. Of course, if you can wait, you can shop price and see whatever extras VCI may add. (The SS version has no extras that I can recall.)

A little piece of trivia: check the passenger door of the Police Car Grant Withers uses in the serial and you'll see that the decal on that side is wrinkled. Barcroft

Charter Member Posts: 479 Group: Members Member #30 Joined: September 5, 2005	Anyone notice who doubled Grant Withers? I was surprised when I saw who. RADIO PATROL is a good serial, but like SECRET AGENT X-9 it looks a lot older than serials made a couple of years later. It probably has more fights than any other Universal, but of course they were before fight choreography was perfected. Every fight had the same scenes of Withers throwing punches in front of a blank wall with two shadowy lines behind him. Much of the action took place in a steel mill, and the location work was vastly superior to the footage in chapter two of THE FIGHTING DEVIL DOGS, the next year. Pa says check it out

I put the Pirate Treasure DVD into my Mac, and the sonuva sonnuva erased it without rhyme or reason. Then it erased another DVD-R. My first Apple complaint ever. Bottom line: I still haven't seen Pirate T. Arggggh. Why me? Why always me?
