Many thanks to Steve for sending me a copy of this film. Very rare movie never even released on VHS I think, quality is very poor but it’s still watchable imo, I was able to improve the audio a bit, I’ve seen some screenshots of this film on Google which makes me think there is probably a better looking copy out there, for now this is the only one I was able to get, if anyone out there has a better copy please contact me so I can replace this one. Thank you.

      You’re very welcome, Jimmy! Sorry it took so long 😭, during the next few months I’ll be uploading many films that have been requested long time ago so this is just the first of many 🙂
