This Is A Cushing Film (Image Release Version).......2005-09-26
Let's face it, this movie was a low-budget horror film with bad special effects. But, it does have one saving grace; Peter Cushing is wonderful as a police detective trying to follow the trail of a blood-feasting (totally ludicrous and campy) giant moth woman.
The picture quality of the DVD is fairly good, and the sound is fine. It is presented in letterbox (non-animorphic), which is much more pleasing to view then the Pan-and-Scan vhs copy that I first saw this picture on. The setting is Victorian, and having a British cast, the performances are believable and elegant (even if swallowing the idea of a giant Deaths-Head moth makes you gag a little). If your after a film of the quality of "Horror of Dracula", or "Curse of Frankenstein", then don't bother. But if your a die-hard Peter Cushing fan, like I am, you'll probably enjoy this movie, as I do. There's not much suspense, but there is plenty of dry British humor, and some fine performances. Just don't expect to be dazzled by the special effects. Think of it as Sherlock Holmes meets Godzilla, and you'll do fine.

Crosby and Hope in Great Form........2004-03-17
I enjoy all of the road films and 'Road to Bali' in particular.
Sadly, this VHS release appears to have been copied from the worst print available. It would appear that the DVD copy is just as bad if not worse. It is a pity that the film appears to have been released by an independent rather than MCA who use to own the copyright to all of Bing Crosbys films
Beware, great film, abysmal DVD.......2003-04-30
The Road to Bali is one of my favourite Bob Hope films. However, the producers of this DVD have ruined it with a very inferior product. This is the only one of the 'Road' movies to have been made in Technicolor, but in this copy the colours are extremely dark and very muddy. I gave up watching it after 20 minutes.
disgusted.......2001-12-02
This film is a classic, as it was Bing & Bob's first "Road" picture in colour. Alas, this copy is
about a third or fourth generation copy. Anyone
thinking about buying this DVD from Orbit should
go elsewhere! Be warned!
