Note from the distributor:

Warning: This DVD contains graphic violence, gratuitous nudity and material many may find offensive, vulgar, crude or just plain disgusting. It's 42ND STREET FOREVER, what did you expect?!

Ban 1 Productions is proud to present 42nd Street Forever Volume 1. 42nd Street Forever is a celebration of exploitation films from the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. 40 crazy film trailers remastered directly from the original prints (with no distracting on screen logos) that inhabit the Ban 1 Productions vault are featured full-length as they were seen years ago by audiences on the famous 42nd Street grindhouse movie theaters in New York City.

Many of these trailers haven’t been seen in years. Some have never been seen before by many audiences worldwide. This all-star line up of splatter, sleaze and wall to wall guffaws includes the notorious blaxploitation Welcome Home Brother Charles, the sickening Pier Paolo Pasolini vomitous masterpiece Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom, the 1930’s horror classic Freaks, the talking vagina sex comedy Chatterbox, the Klaus Kinski thriller Creature with the Blue Hand and the 70’s revenge flick that was one of the big influences on Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, The Hooker's Revenge.

Is that it? No way! There's over 30 other equally off the wall, eye popping trailers.
