Before streaming, blu-ray, and DVD, most LVC films were only available on home video cassette tapes, usually VHS (but also Betamax). Many of us discovered these films for the first time in these formats (usually cropped and edited).Often times due to rights issues, these films were given new titles (some similar to the original, some not). Often the cover image of LVC was not from the actual film!
Here is a look back at the old VHS LVC video covers for Grand Duel!
A couple of the pictures are apparently from Take A Hard Ride to me. In 1972 I noticed a full page add in Variety for this film and it was titled " Showdown at High Noon".The producers were shopping the film for a US partner for release in the states.
