hi,

I have a few questions :

1
does anybody know why french movies like the ones released by RIBU are available ONLY in GERMAN and not in FRENCH?

2.
How can I find french classics that were produced by other french productions other than VMD,RIBU or Blue One/Alpha .
I remembered lots of french movies were produced by CINEVOG. But nowadays the only french classics I can find are either from VMD, Blue One/Alpha or RIBU which don't include some titiles I used to see on FRENCH CANAL PLUS between 1984 and early 90s

3.
Why is it that the AUDIO in most french(or italian) movies (except the early VMD videos) have to be (badly) dubbed in FRENCH . Does it mean that most X performers don't know or remember their lines?

1. Some, like Jailhouse Sex (Ribu) have also been released by Blue One in French (Prisons tr?s sp?ciales pour femmes) - recent DVD release. I think it is to do with distribution rights. When French companies release American videos on DVD, for example, you seldom get an option for an English soundtrack.

2. Either try to get the Italian releases - where you then enter the minefield of fake titles, or get American versions (also a minefield of titles and cast credits), or get copies of dubious legality from sites which specialise in vintage or cult films. Plus Colmax have released two or three 80s French films on DVD and Golden Blue have released one (Poker Show).

3. If you are talking about modern releases it is probably to do with the fact that the cast is multi-national with varying degrees of fluency in the language concerned. In the past that also applied to some extent, but it was also a standard practice, not just in porn films, known as the Italian method (I think), adopted so that the director could shout instructions to the cast as the action proceeded. This is sent up in the American porn film Blonde Ambition where the two heroines (one being Suzy Mandel) get work on the set of a porn musical where Jamie Gillis is playing the director. He explains the above system and then proceeds to choreograph a scene where a row of 'cowboys' take a row of saloon girls in several positions (synchronised fucking?) by bawling orders through a megaphone. No doubt there are other reasons too.

Hi rosebull!

To 1.)

It is the costs for the synchronous studios.
RIBU doesn't have any money for this.
At that time, the RIBU films only were for sex shops and sex movies produced and only into German synchronizes.
The films were sold on "super 8/120 m".

The beginning of RIBU.
Boss was Werner Ritterbusch ("Mr.RIBU") of RIBU film, in Hamburg at that time.
He signed contracts with most beautiful Mesdames France
and Germany at that time.

The film for example passes 'Sweet Young Girls' (VHS RIBU309) from the segments:
'S??e Verf?hrung' (RIBU 039 /Super 8/120 Meter)
'Geile Bescherung' (RIBU 040 /Super 8 /120m)
'Nyphomaninnen' (RIBU 041 /Super 8 /120m)
'Die Orgie' (RIBU 042 /Super 8 /120m)

The films could be bought "with acoustics" and "without acoustics".
Per film 1978 200 DM (100 euros)(with acoustics) was required.

wow, thanks for the info,
do u know anything about Tabu video maybe?
I have some where Bea Fiedler introduces some trailers, but mostly these
are cut from various US & French movies, 70s and 80s mixing (badly).
There were subjects like the largest, all pussies, fellatio,...
the compilations were mostly like Ribu, 2-3 scenes, but mostly all German,
sometimes French(i didn't knew that much about it when i first rented those..from the long-gone-age of finding a Lahaie like Ma?tresse d'amour next to standard porn)

btw:Bea Fiedler was in Linda/Nackte superhexen vom Rio Amore.
maybe give her a spot,alec?

she also was in these soft features:
Insel der tausend freuden(hubert frank)w Olivia Pascal.
(tiroler?)comedy:Hurra - die Schwedinnen sind da(Frans Josef Gottlieb )
Popcorn und himbeereis(FJ Gottlieb)w Herbert Fux!,Ursula Buchfellner & Olivia Pascal.
Myriam(Lester C. Williams?)in which she starred.
(info from imdb)

Thansk a lot for all the info in this and other posts yesterday. I've got Linda, but haven't had time to go through it in detail. I'll consider the Bea question when I do.
