Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers from 1997. Rare Korean ex-rental VHS released by Starmax in 1998. Found this gem on location at a flea market in Seoul.
Sharing a few images from the Japanese special edition magazine, Total Recall: The Official Edition. Published by Bandai in January 1991, it explores the story of the film and the making of selected scenes, with a focus on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, and director Paul Verhoeven. It also features a number of interesting images of printed props used in the film.
Alien Dead, released in the early 80s. South Korean ex-rental VHS issued by Cannon / Sae Yon.
Finally, it’s time for the revised complete list. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for all the interest in my old post!
This is the complete list of the 11 official US VHS editions of Blade Runner. The most difficult to tell apart are the first three original Embassy releases. These exist with two different star colours on the spine. In addition, the White Star Edition exists with two different running times on the back (119 and 122 minutes). The White Star and Black Star releases also have different labels on the tape.
The original releases, along with the so-called “Red Tab” release, are probably the rarest. The Tenth Anniversary Edition also has a red flap.
The last image shows a rare screening tape of the 1997 release of The Director’s Cut. I’m not counting this as a separate release.
The editions are shown in chronological order, with the oldest in the top left.

Frankenstein '80 from 1972. US VHS release, Gorgon Video (Maljack Productions) released in 1984.

I found this 1991 Autumn issue of Quarterly LD (LaserDisc) #26, a Japanese LaserDisc magazine featuring a Total Recall cover. Usually not a fan of the ”big blue face” cover art for Total Recall but I do like how they used it here. Total Recall is represented on the cover but inside there is only a LaserDisc release image and description included.
Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks was released almost 30 years ago In December 1996. Italian release issued by Warner / Cinema I’U in 1998.
