This super-rare Goldstar release of "Breeders" (1986), in the small box format, has classic cover art and goes under the Korean title of (roughly) "Monster of Horror." The pic was a runaway rental champion in the North American VHS market, having been unavailable on cable or network TV or even in cinemas. In the 2000s, a DVD appeared on the MGM label. Unusual release.
This retro crime comedy, helmed by its star Dom DeLuise, wasn't a huge hit at the box office but gained some following via cable TV showings. Very rare Daewoo release features some English in the advertising come-on.
This retro cleverly linguistic cover art for "Prisoners of the Lost Universe" (1983) plays up the film's parallel universe/time travel elements. Very rare.
This vintage Samboo cover for "Mob War" (1984), released in the small-box format, promises plenty of "intense hard action" and "suspense." Some usage of Hanja rounds out the covers old-school appearance. Rare.
This second-edition Samboo release of "Mob War" (1984) gives the layout a teeny refresh and keeps the use of Hanja. Like the first edition, it's a rare one.
This oddball erotic comedy was an Austria-German (!) co-production and played theatrically in 1978. Very rare Dongyang release with 'animation' style cover.
This second edition release of "The Sin of Adam and Eve" (1969) features some way-out-there physical cut-n-paste cover art and a preview for a coming attraction on the back cover. Also exceedingly rare.
This ultra-rare first edition of "The Sin of Adam and Eve" (1969), a fleshy romp that was reportedly marketed as an earnest retelling of the Bible story, features the film's marketing come-on in English. Unusual.
This classic cover art for "Il Pentito" (1985) plays up the film's mob and corruption elements. Appears to go under the title "The Assassin" (Hit Man) in Hangeul. Very rare tape.
This retro cover for the cult/sleaze classic "Achtung! The Desert Tiger" (1977) goes under the Korean title "Prisoner of War Camp" and plays up the film's North African (?) front war elements. Released by Paek-rok Video (pronounced like "Baengnok" with the carry-over sound) in the peak VHS era - this distributor was something of a "Friend of the B-movie" back in the day. Very scarce.
This cleverly linguistic cover art for the crime/noir flick "Special Delivery" (1976) rocks some Hanja on the spine and promises a story where "the time of fate has come" (the day of your destiny has arrived?). Physical cut-n-paste artwork was common for Korean tapes back in the day. Rare.
This rare first-edition VHS release of the Korean domestic light erotic film "End of an Affair (Aejong)" (1975) promises "firecracker" romance. The groundbreaking film was provocative in its day. Unusual tape.
This rare Korean VHS release for "Big Trouble" (1986), cult/art director John Cassavetes's last film, goes under the title of "Con Artist Peter Falk." Send-up, and homage to, 40s film noir did brisk rental business in North America. Scarcer in Korea.
This rare Korean VHS release of "Orgies of Caligula" (1984) credits the Gianfranco Parolini's directing to "Frank Kramer" - a somewhat common bit of crafty linguistics back in the day. Unusual tape has a physical cut-paste collage style cover.
This goofy after-dark picture, set in 2177 AD, promises as "decadent society" on the front cover. Extremely rare tape was released by Yooho Production, an outfit that released hundreds of Korean domestic after-dark pictures. An oddball one.
This extremely rare Korea Media release of "New Wave Lovers" (1981), itself a rare film, promises "song, scandal, and love" as it tells the story of 'The Four Pin-ups'. Unusual.
This unusual cover art for the Just Jaeckin classic "The Story of O" (1975) plays up the film's literary roots and "love hurts" themes. The film indeed got an official VHS release in Korea, but not until 1993 and not without some cuts most likely. Very rare.
This extremely rare first edition of the erotic drama "Red Cherries" (1983) has all Hangul on its spine. From Samboo Productions, a big player in the early VHS era
This rare Dongyang release of the German teen sex comedy "Cola, Candy, Chocolate" (1979) plays up the film's romantic and 'sweet' elements. May have been a strong renter back in the day, as it is hard to find in good condition. Unusual.
