Just got my copy of Days of Vengeance. All looks well, except the typo in the synopsis.

As expected the audio is rather ropey throughout. A couple parts do sound âhome dubbedâ on this disc, but I could be wrong. Also, a logo appears at the top right in a few scenes. (A TV station logo?)
But overall, better than Cult Action of course.
Sloppy! 
A TV logo? I never would have expected that from Wild East. Perhaps they made a composite using the edited Spanish version available on the X Rated disc.
Thatâs really quite strange for Wild East, at least it doesnât look too distracting. Iâm still waiting for mine to arrive, looking forward to re-watching this one in a better quality than my bootleg.
If people had known these films would be so hard to find decades from now, they shouldâve just stolen the prints from the theater projection booths.

LOL That crossed my mind when I finally got to see a 35mm print of GBU ⌠that seems recent to me, but it was actually 20 years ago ⌠also, re-runs at my local have been digital copies ⌠and Iâm just not interested in that. 
A station logo so small would be quite easy to blur with some basic editing software - I donât recognize the logo.
I guess any print without the added scenes is sacred!

The print I saw was the same as the UK TV broadcasts, with Maria (fresh young whore) giving away Bill Carson after one slap.
Also it had the Italian signatures on the freeze frame for each character 'il brutto, il cattivo, il buono - for years I didnât realise these were Italian and was quite surprised when I saw the English lettering on the DVD release. Dâoh! 
I wonder what will be next for Wild East. Hope another double feature comes out soon. I would like to see more macaroni combat releases, too.

I agree! Love that double feature disc of Churchillâs Leopards and Salt in the Wound. Definitely want more decent releases of movies from this genreâŚ
I did an interview with Eric Mache, vice president of Wild East, for my blog a while back and asked him if there would be any more future Macaroni combat releases as I am a huge fan of the genre. He said unfortunately not as the Salt in the Wound/Churchillâs Leopard double feature was a huge flop for them and sold extremely poorly. That totally bummed me out 
Thatâs a shame! If you are interested, thereâs Czech releases of Battle of the Damned and When Heroes Die with English audio.

I interviewed Eric Mache, vice president of Wild East, a number of years ago for my blog and also keep in touch with him on facebook. He said their first Blu release was a major flop due to the extra cost they had to charge to make up for the high price of manufacturing. WE is a two man crew and they make no money from their releases. All money they make goes into their next release so they break even in the long run. It truly is a labor of love. If Sony didnât charge so much up front for the opportunity to press blu-rays, small companies like Wild East could afford to release more.
I donât see the point in Wild East releasing blu-rays when they canât ensure such high quality. Iâd rather Koch and Arrow take care of that. Wild East is just a nice alternative to the DVD-Rs and AVI discs I already have and Iâm happy to keep supporting them for the sake of owning an âofficialâ (even if theyâre not really lincened) DVD.

Well honestly, the films chosen for blu ray release werenât the best choice.
vice president ? hehehe thatâs pretty funnyâŚ. like Wild East is a big company with hundred of employees.
Wild East is just two guys doing bootlegs dvds and selling it on amazonâŚ. I wonder if the Wild East name is even registered.
You have this guy named Ally Lamaj
And the other one is Eric Mache:
