Picked this one up recently as an upgrade from my old Image
Entertainment DVD.

We all know the story, bunch of former Vietnam vets played by John
Saxon, John Morghen and Tony King get a taste for human flesh and go on
the rampage in Atlanta.

The new Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber is exceptionally crisp and clear, so
much so, that the difference between the Vietnam stock footage at the
beginning and the scenes from the film that are intercut with them is
very noticeable, but aside from that its a wonderful print.

Extras wise, it contains most of the same features from the old Image
DVD. A making-of with interviews with the cast and crew, a film location
tour, a couple of trailers and an alternate intro, which is basically
the same as the regullar intro, but with an "Invasion of the Flesh
Eaters" title card.

But, new to this release you also get an audio commentary with film
historian Tim Lucas, who provides and effective "Trivia track" for the
film, and there's a new interview with Tony King.

All in all a very nice release, it is a Region A Blu-Ray though, so
you'll need a multi-regional player.

As an aside, I used have a number of Bootleg VHS releases of this back
in the day and noticed there were 2 slightly different intros, using
different stock footage for a couple of scenes.

Most VHS releases showed a couple of Twin-Rotor Chinooks flying through
the air, as the credits display the names of the scriptwriters. Whereas
the old UK VHS release showed a couple of Single-Rotor Huey's taking off
at this point.

Similarly, the previous Image DVD used the more common intro with the
Chinooks. However, I noticed the new Blu-Ray uses the alternate scene
with the Hueys taking off. Just a minor point for all you nitpickers out
there.

I pretty much HAVE to keep my old DVD, since it's autographed by John
Saxon, but I've been thinking of picking this edition up. It sounds worth
it.

This is the best blu of the year so far, despite almost all the extras
being recycled from the old Image DVD.

The new interview with Tony King is revelatory; I never realised he was the stablehand in THE GODFATHER. In CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE he always reminds me of
the old Bernard Manning gag, “Lovely smiles, though. LIKE FULL BEAM.”

Sounds like just another day in Atlanta.
