"One of Carlos Tobalina's better films, he seems more inspired here than in his usual adult titles. VS's transfer of this is quite good on the DVD, but if they have access to a good enough element, a Blu-ray could be great."
"Fun, sleazy take on a classic Hitchcock flick with some memorable visuals of 1980’s Las Vegas. Good transfer. Disappointed that it’s only on DVD but still worth picking up. Bonus points for Cesar Romero and Robert D’zar."
"Visuals are everything here in a sex flick taking off of the Alfred Hitchcock catalog"
"Which is never bad"
"Looks great"
"Great transfer of an absolute classic."
"Glad to add to my collection!"
"It's okay. Cheap looking with some good actors in it for a couple minutes."
"Vinegar Syndrome's DVD release of "Flesh and Bullets" revitalizes this 1980s exploitation flick with a superb transfer that highlights its gritty charm. The film's visuals are crisp and clear, providing a much-improved viewing experience compared to previous versions. This package includes an array of special features that offer deeper insights into the film's production and legacy. Overall, it's an essential addition for collectors and fans of cult cinema, showcasing Vinegar Syndrome's dedication to preserving genre classics."
"Two strangers agree to kill each other's wives, what could go wrong? While the director was mostl known for actual porn, this non-porn title doesn't even really qualify as "soft-core". You see very little of the lovely leading ladies in this. There is a nice (but brief) welcome appearance by adult star Mai Lin early on. It's sloppily and choppily edited, such that there are a few instances people are litterally cut-off mid-sentence. But if you get it at a bargain, it's funny enough in some parts. My favorite was when after Dolores tells Jeff that she had been raped, he replies (meanig to pay a compliment), "Well, at least the guy showed good taste!". Ha! Nice my man, what a gent!"
