Black Rain
$29.99
I found a used DVD on eBay for $35. It wasn't worth it. The image is letterboxed, but so small that you have to blow it up to resolution-killing proportions. I also own the VHS and laserdisc of "Black Rain." The tape offers a MUCH better image. The laserdisc gives the best results of all. I am outraged at the prices being asked here. I really hope this great movie will be re-released with proper care, and that the people who want to rip you off will be left holding the bag.

Schoenberg: Die Jakkobsleiter; Friede auf Erden
$14.98

Burn Up (Dub) [VHS]
$19.98
of VERY brief nudity, not-very graphic bloodless violence and adult situations. Maki, Reimi and Yuka decide to go after McCoy, the head of a White Slavery ring, but find he is not just very powerful, but also ruthless.
My tape was used but even when you take that into account the artwork was also aged, very dated. The tape's copyright was 1991, which places the production of the anime in the late 80s. The tape did have bonus production art, both in the closing credits and afterwards, so don't turn it off just because the credits stop scrolling. There is a couple of trailers at the start of the tape.
Only two things link this story to Burn-Up W! The song "Burn Up Your Heart" and the fact that I was able to recognize Tiffany Grant's voice as one of the characters - Maki I believe. She is also Maki's English voice in Burn-Up W!
Maybe a DVD would of gotten more than three stars, but the story is too bland to get more than three even with the extras.
