After seeing those screen shots from "The Adventures of Robin Hood" from Red Fox, does anyone have or know where I can find a complete listing of this company's releases?

I'm wondering what else I may look for at some point.

Don't get wrong, just like Deraan and other companies, those beautifull colors only appear on film released after 1980 when LPP was introduced. Other titles released in 1970s would have faded now to red/pink (except those printed on AGFA stock) that include Red Fox releases.

I jave seen Red Fox full feature with very pink color.

Let start, I have the following features that I think are Red Fox releases
Twisted Nerve, Eastman, faded
The Black Stallion LPP
Poltergeist flat print LPP
War Games LPP
North by Northwest Agfa low fade so,I think a re-print by Derann
The time machine Agfa low fade, think re-print by Derann

Don't forget they're incredible copy (on Agfa film stock) of the complete "Hoppity Goes to Town", which isn't missing that 6 or so minute chunk near the beginning of the film which, sadly, the Derann LPP does miss out on.

It was actually 1982 that LPP was introduced.

When did Red Fox films go out of business? I suppose anyone with a catalog from its later years would be able to give us a good idea of the color films they were doing, which would help determine what amy come available on the resell market.

I stopped purchasing directly from Red Fox in 1984 when, from one issue of their catalogue to the next, super 8 films disappeared and were replaced by laserdiscs.

I believe the final Red Fox Super 8 catalog was their Winter 1984-85 issue. It mentions the new Red Fox & MGM/UA release of The Black Stallion.

Just for your additional info, the owner of Red Fox, is still in business and is also on Ebay selling posters, movie stuff, old Red Fox catalogs as well as Red Fox super 8mm empty boxes. I forgot what is his Ebay ID.

It's important to remember that many releases continued to be available via Derann after Red Fox stopped selling them. Derann were importing some Red Fox releases up to the end and then must have bought large number of negatives. I bought several Derann Red Fox re-releases, such as the feature "Gorgo" and certain trailers. For some reason, though, there were certain negatives that they didn't appear to get. E.g. in view of all the Derann Hammer releases, I'm sure they would have sold 'Prince of Terror' (the 4 minute 'Dracula AD 1972' promo), if they had obtained this.

It's sad to thinks of all the negatives that were produced by Red Fox, Steel Valley, Kempski, etc, that were also destroyed when Derann went out of business.

I had "Jack the Giant Killer" in the original Red Fox box. I thought the film was really cheesy and bad but the quality of the print was stunning! Sharp and the colors were truly beautiful.
