I am pleased to say that Blue Underground became our distributor and put in an amazing effort to bring back the good old days⌠some of the reviewsâŚ: âItâs a real labor of love for a jaw-dropping, wildly entertaining film that almost slipped through the cracks.â- Mondo Digital: Get Mean
âGET MEAN appears to be a forerunner to todayâs stereotypical action filmâŚâ Dan Basile, Pop Kernal http://popkernal.com/get-mean/
ââŚa fantastic interview with producer Ronald J. Schneider as he details the difficulties of keeping the film funded and his history in the business.â Matthew Hartman, High-Def Digest http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/23579/getmean.html
âGET MEAN so wholly and completely shatters Spaghetti western conventions that it really shouldnât be saddled with that label at all. Itâs fast, itâs frenetic, itâs entirely too much fun, and itâs defiantly unique. Blue Underground has done a phenomenal job rescuing GET MEAN from obscurity, lavishing it with an outstanding visual and aural presentation as well as piling on several hours of extras. If youâre willing to let the movie take you on this wildly imaginative ride, GET MEAN is a hell of a rewarding discovery on Blu-ray. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!âAdam Tyner, DVD Talk http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/69639/get-mean/
âGET MEAN is just one of those wild and fun movies that needs to be seen to be believed. What starts out as an honest-seeming western goes from 0 to 90 in about the first five minutes and never lets up on the gas. I had a blast with this one. Gather up some friends and you should have a pretty great time too. Blue Underground has brought GET MEAN to Blu-ray in fine form featuring a fantastic A/V presentation as well as a huge load of fun and informative extras. Considering the size of the smile on my face after seeing this one, Iâm left to call it highly recommended!âMatthew Hartman, High-Def Digest http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/23579/getmean.html
âJust when you think that you have seen everything that could be seen from the Spaghetti western genre, along comes a film like GET MEAN that knocks you off your feet with its most unconventional take on this well traversed genre. Overall Blue Underground rescues a rarely seen Spaghetti western and give it an exceptional release, highly recommended!âMichael Den Boer, 10K Bullets http://10kbullets.com/reviews/g/get-mean/
âExecutive producer Ronald J. Schneider devotes most of his ten-minute interview to Get Meanâs grueling financing: being encouraged to start shooting before all the money was in place, then fighting to rustle up enough cash to keep production going a few days at a time. Itâs fascinating to hear more about the business side of independent filmmaking in the '70s, not to mention Schneiderâs start in the business under the legendary Allen Klein.!â
âGET MEAN is not your typical western⌠Watching this film reminded me a little bit of the Tarantino-style western mixed with a little LONE WOLF AND CUB (the hero protecting an innocent) along with a grindhouse-style, completely off kilter vibe with some of the characters⌠The film looks and sounds better than ever⌠If youâre a spaghetti western fan then this is one you wonât want to miss!âJames Harland Lockhart V, Fulvue Drive-In Get Mean (1975/Blue Underground Blu-ray/DVD Set)
âAn overall entertaining film⌠You canât tell me ARMY OF DARKNESS didnât get a bit of its tone from this one here. From the look to the way the lead acts, Sam Raimi had to love this oneâŚThis is THE release to get!âChuck Conry, Zombies Donât Run http://zombiesdontrun.net/reviews/get-mean-1975-blu-raydvd-review/
âOne of the damned craziest westerns I have ever watched⌠The vibe and tone of the movie brought to mind a mash-up of Raimiâs ARMY OF DARKNESS by way DJANGO, with a fun rogues gallery of evil-doers⌠Blue Underground have done a fine job of bringing this one to Blu-ray with a new HD transfer and loads of info-laden extras!âKen Kastenhuber, cBastardâs Mausoleum MCBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM: GET MEAN (1975)
âThe similarities to Sam Raimiâs ARMY OF DARKNESS are readily apparent if youâve been forewarned (and now you have!). Both films suffer from a scattershot script that bounces from one desperate-to-entertain scene to the next. And while Tony Anthony doesnât have the rubber-faced appeal of Bruce Campbell, heâs just enough of an odd duck to keep you interested in what he does next. Same goes for GET MEAN itself, which has to be the most unpredictable western of its era. And thatâs kinda groovy!âGreg Walton, Movieline http://www.movielineonline.com/get-mean.html
âGET MEAN defies normal classification⌠This is like watchinâ the spaghetti western equivalent of ARMY OF DARKNESS (but made roughly 2 decades before). Ya got your greedy, smart mouthed hero takinâ on some Dark Ages style villains in a desert locale filled with castles. Throw in some slapstick, a strange trial of terror filled with laughing skeletons, and yeah, you can easily pick up what Iâm layinâ down⌠This version put out by Blue Underground is both beautiful and packed fat with extras!âDaniel Wilder, Famous Monsters of Filmland http://famousmonsters.com/archives/18483/5
âGET MEAN serves as a bizarre time traveling western where historical inaccuracies reign supreme and astounding production value meets shotgun blasting, sword wielding action⌠GET MEAN stands as one of Blue Undergroundâs crowning achievements!âMike Kenny, Mikeâs Pop Culture Playhouse http://mikespopculture.com/movies/14184322
âGET MEAN should be an essential pick-up⌠This full-blown restoration courtesy of Blue Underground is outstanding as it preserves a nutty, almost indescribable genre-bending mash-up from the tail end of the Spaghetti western era in all its 1080p (2.35) glory!âAndy Dursin, Film Score Monthly Film Score Daily Articles
âGET MEAN, Anthonyâs last run as âThe Stranger,â is more of a bizarre adventure film with a cowboy in the lead than a traditional Spaghetti Western, so keep your expectations in check in that regard, but it is a whole lot of goofy fun regardless. Anthony is fun in the lead and Lorys sure is beautiful â if nothing else, the film is different! Blue Underground have rolled out the red carpet for this one, offering up the film in a nice HD presentation and with way more extras than anyone probably ever imagined!âIan Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop! Get Mean - Rock! Shock! Pop! Forums - Cult Movie DVD And Blu-ray Reviews, Comics Books, Music And More!
âGET MEAN is a mid-1970s Western that realized the cinematic world was expanding. Facing the end of the Spaghetti Western, director Ferdinando Baldi just went for it. You want Vikings, Moors, barbarians, ghosts and a hunchback to fight a cowboy? Well, you got it. This film is the boner that the Internet never knew it had. The A/V Quality is stunning for this kind of release.Iâd recommend a purchase!âTroy Anderson, Andersonvision http://andersonvision.com/get-mean/
âGET MEAN isnât only an oddity in the spaghetti western canon â itâs a rarity, too. The film has barely been seen in North America since its initial release. In fact, GET MEAN is about a half-step away from an honest to God âlost film,â as I understand it, so this Blu-ray is definitely cause for celebration. Blue Underground has done a great job with this once semi-lost movieâs digital media debut!âGabriel Powers, DVD Active TOP 15 Best DVD Releases of 2019 - Select a Good Movie to Watch
âBarely released in American theaters, GET MEAN returns in fine form from Blue Underground⌠Itâs a real labor of love for a jaw-dropping, wildly entertaining film that almost slipped through the cracks!âNathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital Get Mean
âGET MEAN appears to be a forerunner to todayâs stereotypical action film⌠As usual, Blue Underground hits it out of the park with another solid title added to the growing list of magnificent digital transfers, and arguably a long-lost treasure many people will probably be experiencing for the first time (myself included). If you havenât seen it yet, Iâd recommend doing so soon!âDan Basile, Pop Kernal http://popkernal.com/get-mean/
âWhoa. This one is a doozy. This is not your typical Spaghetti Western. I think it could have easily been a cult film or a midnight movie with its anachronisms and its âyou never know whatâs coming nextâ screenplay. Blue Underground has done a great job presenting a film Iâm willing to bet a number of you hadnât heard of before!âBrad Hogue, EuroCult AV http://eurocultav.com/Reviews/Get_Mean__Blue_Underground__Bl/get_mean__blue_underground__bl.html
