Frustrated

[octothorpe]

I'm surprised at the lack of information on Wikipedia about the Joe Gage trilogy.

One thing I did find out is that they re-mastered the trilogy for DVD release. I'm going to have to track that down, or find H264 versions of that, rather than the VHS versions I have.

So what are your thoughts on the Joe Gage trilogy? Great trilogy, or greatest trilogy?

I have the current dvd releases from HIS Video

They are clearly missing a couple of scenes. Also, I think they were made from Videotape and a direct film to DVD transfer.

I do hope that a full restoration is made, if it is even possible.
Joe Gage is alive and well and I wish he would restore those three films. They really are a great piece from their time.

I know that there have been folks who point out the very different cuts they have seen from the "GAGETAPE" editions of the flicks. (That was Joe Gages company). The films were sold and are now owned by HIS Video. The HIS Video copies, whether of VHS or DVD are shorter and are missing scenes. The most obvious example is the clearly cut "fight" scene in the restroom with Richard Locke.

I would pay for a restored box set anyday. I would love it if Joe Gage/Tim Kinkaid (Kinkaid is the name he used to make sci fi films like "Breeders" and Slasher and women in prison movies). If you ream his IMBD entry you can get more information about his work.

That's the version I have... there is a re-mastered version *not* from VHS that contains the "lost" scenes put out in 2006. I have one of them, but I can't remember which off the top of my head (my porn collection is HUGE).
