Warner Home Video will release a number of catalog titles on June 26th. Arriving under the "Cult Camp Classics" banner are Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, The Big Cube, Caged, Colossus Of Rhodes, Giant Behemoth, Hot Rods To Hell, Land of the Pharaohs, The Prodigal, Queen Of Outer Space, Skyjacked, Trog and Zero Hour!. All come with newly mastered anamorphic transfers, except Caged which is fullscreen. Retail is $14.97 apiece.
The titles also will be available in themed boxed sets, including Cult Camp Classics vol. 1 - Sci Fi Thrillers, Cult Camp Classics vol. 2 - Women in Peril, Cult Camp Classics vol. 3 - Terrorized Travelers and Cult Camp Classics vol. 4 - Historical Epics. Retail is $29.98 each.
For me, the real interesting release in this set is Zero Hour! a film which I've been trying to find for almost twenty years after seeing a clip of it on television. Zero Hour! was a 1957 film that the Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrahams saw and spoofed in their film, Airplane! Among the actual lines of dialogue "homaged" by ZAZ are "I guess I picked the wrong week to give up smoking" and "Our survival hinges on one thing - finding someone who not only can fly this plane, but didn't have fish for dinner."
On it's imdb page, Zero Hour! is described as "A routine flight turns into a major emergency as passengers and crew succumb to food poisoning - is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"
It's a shame that they didn't have an auto-pilot like Airplane! did.
