Viva VHS #16: Hong Kong Box Art

Thunder of Gigantic Serpent
So, I came across this catalog for IFD videos and was so smitten by the garish cover art, I felt the need to share.  I'm no expert in this genre, but I can tell you IFD was a Hong Kong production company that churned out some amazing batshit crazy flicks in the 1980s.  Their IMDb resume lists some badass titles for films I've never seen: Inferno Thunderbolt (1986), Bionic Ninja (1986),
Concentrational (!) Camp for Girls (1986), and Raiders of Buddhist Kung Fu (1982) to name a few.  And here is some glorious cover art that accompanied these videos. Enjoy!

    I predict a Kickstarter campaign to remake Crocodile Fury.

    Only if the movies were as good as the posters. I think someone has a helicopter fetish. Nick

    The "Dark Day Express" guy has some sort of triple-barrel shotgun with a grenade launcher on the side in an over-middle-under-to-the-side configuration.

    I would watch these movies based on the the titles alone, but seeing the box art puts me on a quest!
