BEST OF THE BEST – The Complete Collection (2-Disc)


The 4 film true cult classic series released for the first time on Blu-ray.

Best of the Best

"Alex Grady (Eric Roberts), an Oregon welder and widowed father of a five-year-old son is chosen for the US National Karate Team. He finds himself in the company of Travis Brickley (Chris Penn), an urban cowboy with an attitude and a host of other off beat characters and their coach Frank Kouzo (James Earl Jones), a hardened veteran of high-powered Karate competition. Its a team with rough edges and problems that must be resolved if theyre to win the international competition and become the Best of the Best."

Best of the Best 2

"A classic sequel to the brilliant original. Alex Grady (Eric Roberts) is a martial arts champion who, along with Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee), is seeking revenge for the death of his friend Travis (Chris Penn). He finds out that Travis has gotten involved in a secret, high-priced, gambling event in which fighters go to the bloody extremes, attempting to become the champ. This is another breath taking action film that is punctuated with the fight scenes."

Best of the Best 3 – No Turning Back

"Tommy and another former members of the US National Karate Team join forces to avenge the death of their friend, who was brutally slain in competition at an underground Las Vegas fighting club. An initial confrontation between the revenge-minded pair and the murderer leaves the evildoer with a horrible facial scar, and he vows to bury the two former internationals. After he makes a few attempts to gun the duo down, they finally settle the score in a bloody grudge match at the club."

Best of the Best 4 – Without Warning

"Russian mobsters have stolen a computer disk which will allow them to print money, and have hijacked a truck containing blank currency paper. Unfortunately for the mobsters the disk is accidentally slipped into the possession of Tommy Lee. Desperate to get the disk back, the mobsters kidnap Tommy's daughter, and in order to rescue his child Tommy must face deadly temptresses, high- tech gadgets and an array of explosive weaponry."

Heres some treats to look forward to on Blu-ray in 2017:

TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995) – "The often-requested anthology film (Executive Producer by Spike Lee!) will finally make its Blu-ray format debut."

DEADTIME STORIES (1986) – "Another fun and highly-requested anthology movie that many remember from the 80s which features Scott Valentine, Melissa Leo and a title sequence song that youll never get out of your head!"

FIRESTARTER (1984) – "Stephen King's fiery psychic tale is planned for the Collector's Edition treatment and will receive an all-new 2K film transfer!"

DEMENTED (1980) – "Many remember this obscure exploitation revenge outing because it was originally on the early Home Media VHS label (once the home for Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street and other classics) and its cover art was in video stores everywhere. Stars Harry Reems (of Deep Throat fame)."

WHATS THE MATTER WITH HELEN? (1971) – "Debbie Reynolds and Shelly Winters star in this offbeat and melodramatic thriller that has its fair share of fans. Also stars Dennis Weaver and Agnes Moorehead in supporting roles."

THE SCREAMING SKULL (1958) – "We head back into the 50s bring you this enjoyable spooky gem about newlyweds that scared plenty back in its day."

PSYCHO (1998) – "Gus Van Sant's ambitious and highly-publicized (at the time) remake of Hitchcock's classic makes its debut on the Blu-ray format."

THE VAGRANT (1992) – "Bill Paxton and Michael Ironside star in this interesting and unique comedic horror film executive-produced by Mel Brooks!"

THE ANGRY RED PLANET (1959) – "A trip to mars turns into terror in this campy sci-fi thriller classic."

VIRUS (1999) – "Speaking of Sci-fi thrillers, we have another one to addbut this one stars legendary Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis! Also features William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland and has been long due for reevaluation."


There you have it! Please note that we have very little specific details about them at this time other than what we have provided above. As always, well provide more information down the road when we can.

David Cronenberg:n SHIVERS – Kylmät väreet a.k.a. They Came from Within (1975) Arrow Films ‑julkaisun hankintaa harkitsevat tahi elokuvan jo ostaneita saattaa kiinnostaa seuraava lausunto julkaisijalta leffaa koskien:"The Shivers restoration was carried out by TIFF (the Toronto International Film Festival) and supervised and approved by David Cronenberg. As such this four-to-five second discrepancy between the film as it appears on our release and how it played in cinemas is likely to have been the result of damaged materials and/or approved by Cronenberg. We are, however, investigating this matter thoroughly and will get back with a full answer as soon as we can."

Ja vielä enemmän kiinnostanee se tieto, että Arrows Filmin blu-ray Shiversista onkin leikattu!http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=819977

Ollut tiedossa asian julkistuksesta saakka. Sääli sinänsä, kun tietää Arrow ‑julkaisujen laadun – lafkan painoksien muitakaan seikkoja fyysistä formaattia arvostavien kannalta sivuuttamatta. Veikkaan, että lähitulevaisuudessa Shivers nähtänee kokonaisuudessaan sinisäteellä(kin).

Arrows on julkaissut aiemmin tänä vuonna Shiversin myös leikkaamattomana. Uncut-version tunnistaa esimerkiksi levyn etiketti-puolta kiertävästä teksti-litaniasta, joka päättyy "2nd pressing" mainintaan. Leikattua versiota ei ole vedetty markkinoilta. Ilmeisesti semmoisen saaneet voivat vaihtaa levyn leikkaamattomaan? Uncut-versio löytynee varmimmin Arrowsin omasta kaupasta.

Dark Sky Films has officially announced and detailed its upcoming 30th anniversary Blu-ray release of John McNaughton's film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The release will be available for purchase on December 6.


It was a true game-changer, a film so upsetting in its blunt depiction of an amoral murderer that it made the slasher films of its time look like cartoons by comparison. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer became a lightning rod in heated debates about cinema and censorship but has only grown in stature since its first showing in 1986.

"Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a chilling profile of a cold-blooded killer that, 30 years after its historic festival premiere, has lost none of its power to shock. The film, loosely based on a true story, has been hailed as one of the most disturbing and terrifying examinations of mass murderers ever filmed. Henry (Michael Rooker, The Walking Dead) is a psychopathic drifter who has coldly murdered a number of people for no particular reason and without any remorse. Leaving bodies in his wake, Henry makes his way to Chicago, where his he settles into the run-down apartment of his drug-dealing former prison friend and occasional roommate Otis (Tom Towles)."


"Also moving into the space is Otis's younger sister Becky (Tracy Arnold), who is fleeing her abusive husband. As she fends off her brother's incestuous advances, Becky finds herself attracted to Henry – unaware that he, along with Otis, are continuing their murderous rampage."


Director John McNaughton completed the film in 1986, and it was shown at that year's Chicago International Film Festival. But it wasn't until 1990 that a U.S. distributor was brave enough to give it a wide release. Henry predates the NC-17 rating and received its predecessor, the X rating, on three separate occasions. As a result of it and related issues with Almodovar's "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down," Phillip Kaufman's "Henry & June" and Peter Greenaway's "the Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover," the MPAA created the NC-17 as its replacement on 9/26/1990. Henry's current rating is "X (Surrendered)" though a renewed rating is pending. The film's violence, and the clinical, detached portrayal of Henry by the unforgettable Michael Rooker, originally earned it the MPAA's highly restrictive NC-17 rating.


The response from both critics and the public was as visceral as the film itself, and it went on to gain praise as one of the most compelling and disturbing films of modern cinema.


In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer returns to Blu-ray after a thrilling cinematic theatrical rerun. Dark Sky Films, a division of MPI Media Group, proudly presents it in a brand-new 4K scan and restoration from the 16mm original camera negatives, and featuring a new 5.1 audio mix from the stereo 35mm mag reels, all approved by director John McNaughton.

Mill Creek Entertainment will bring to Blu-ray director Paul Michael Glaser's film Band of the Hand (1986), starring Stephen Lang, Michael Carmine, Lauren Holly, John Cameron Mitchell, and Paul Calderon. The release will be available for purchase on January 10.


Synopsis:

"Out of Jail. Trained as a team. Their battle to clean up the streets of Miami is about to begin.Welcome to the jungle, Miami-style, where fast cars, dirty deals, hot women, and acid-washed jeans all come with the turf."


"While serving time in a grueling rehab program in Florida's Everglades, five young felons bond together to form an unlikely union. When they return to Miami's dangerous ghetto, the five former criminals wage a lethal war on the drug kingpins who rule the underworld of murder and mayhem. Band of the Hand goes for the jugular, never once loosening its grip until its heart-stopping climax!"




The British Film Institute has confirmed that it plans to release on Blu-ray two early Martin Scorsese films: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) and Who's That Knocking at My Door (1967). The two releases will be available for purchase in March, 2017.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

"In her remarkable portrayal that won her the 1794 Best Actress Academy Award, Ellen Burstyn stars as widow Alice Hyatt, traveling in a packed station wagon with her son along a bumpy road to a new life. With Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, director Martin Scorsese is as much at home in the semi-rural Southwest as he is in the urban environs of his signature movies. He guides the "live a little, learn a lot" of Alice's odyssey with affection unmarred by sentiment and draws pitch-perfect performances from co-stars Kris Kristofferson, Alfred Lutter, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Vic Tayback and Oscar nominee Diane Ladd. It's a slice of life as real, funny and tough-provoking as any you've ever seen. Or lived."


STREET DATE: MARCH 20.




Who's That Knocking at My Door

"For the movie world, a major talent was knocking: New York University graduate film student Martin Scorsese. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times proclaimed Who's That Knocking At My Door to be "a great moment in American movies." Harvey Keitel plays J.R., an unemployed youth content to hang out with his buddies in New York's Little Italy. But love, in the person of a college-educated girl (Zina Bethune), soon throws J.R. into a turmoil that challenges his ways of looking at the neighborhood – and life itself. Scorsese went on to make such landmark films as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and GoodFellas. Each shows he's lost none of the fire and inventiveness seen here in his debut work."


STREET DATE: MARCH 20.




Mondo Macabro has confirmed that its upcoming Blu-ray release of José María Forqué's film In the Eye of the Hurricane a.k.a. The Fox With A Velvet Tail (1971) will arrive on the market in early 2017.


Synopsis:

"Spanish-Italian giallo about a murderous menage-a-trois. Ruth separates from Michel after finding another man, Paul. When Ruth and Paul go on holiday for the summer strange things begin to happen."


Directed by Spanish helmer José María Forqué, and starring Jean Sorel, Analía Gadé, Tony Kendall, Rosanna Yanni, Maurizio Bonuglia, and Pilar Gómez Ferrer. Soundtrack by legendary Italian composer Piero Piccioni (Camille 2000, The 10th Victim).


Special Features:


· NEW 4K Restoration

· Audio Commentary by Troy Howarth, author of So Deadly, So Perverse

· And MORE...




Severin Films has confirmed that it will add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: Franco Prosperi's Wild Beasts (1984) and Stu Segall's Drive-In Massacre (1977). Both will arrive on the market in early 2017.

Wild Beasts


Synopsis:

"All hell breaks loose in the zoo of a German metropolis when the local drinking water gets contaminated by a large quantity of PCP, thus turning all formerly harmless animals into ferociously aggressive beasts. Crazed by a drug-induced blood rage, they break all barriers and soon enough prey on the unsuspecting population of the town. Now it's up to a ballsy scientist and a spunky reporter to save the day and the city."



Drive-In Massacre


Synopsis:

"A restless crowd and a cheesy double feature lead to two brutal killings at a drive-in! Detective Koch and O'Leary assemble a mixed cast of suspects that would make even Charlie Chan cringe. Is it the deranged knife-thrower, the foul-mouthed bigot, the projectionist, the janitor or the pathetic voyeur? Cold razor-sharp steel slices through warm flesh and hot blood squirts over the screen as patrons are splattered across the hoods of cars and even dismembered at the concession stand!"




***The label has also confirmed that its upcoming Blu-ray release of Cathy's Curse will contain the full uncut version of the film, as well as the U.S. version of the film. It is also expected to arrive on the market in early 2017.


Synopsis:

"After a terrible car accident twenty years ago killed his father and sister, a man returns to his family home with his wife and daughter. The daughter takes up residence in her deceased aunt's room and, after finding some of her possessions, becomes possessed by her spirit. Soon strange happenings and mysterious deaths begin to occur in the household as the possessed girl lashes out at those around her."

Special note:

"We do want to address our new transfer specifically here to manage expectations. Our 2K scan was made from the original film negative and retains the grain and softness you would have seen during its original release in 1974. We have not applied any digital noise reduction and restored the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio used in US theaters. Unfortunately, the negative had suffered some damage over the years but we have spent a lot of extra resources / costs to clean it up the best we could. We're pleased with our results and hope you will enjoy the presentation."


"In our efforts to make sure our overall release could be as comprehensive and definitive as possible, we have also included the prior HD version on Disc 2 (and corrected some audio sync issues it had) for those who may prefer it's 1.78 aspect ratio."

Tower of London Dual Format Blu-ray & DVD


Vincent Price and Roger Corman unite for this macabre Shakespearean classic.


Release Date: 13th February 2017


MOTHER ENGLAND MEETS FATHER TERROR!

"Having made their mark on American horror cinema with three colourful adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe The Fall of the House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum and Tales of Terror – Vincent Price and director Roger Corman enjoyed a brief hiatus from the macabre author with Tower of London. Shot in black and white, the film was loosely based on the Universal horror picture of the same name as well as two Shakespeare plays: a dash of Macbeth and a dollop of Richard III."

"Price plays Richard of Gloucester, brother to a dying king and eager to take his place on the throne. When he is overlooked in favour of their sibling, the Duke of Clarence, things take a murderous turn. Richard goes on a murderous rage, only for the ghosts of those he has slain to return from the grave and haunt himLess well-known than the Poe movies, Tower of London is no slouch. Price relishes the opportunity to flex his Shakespearean muscles, just as he would eleven years later with Theatre of Blood, and Corman works wonders, as usual, with his low budget. If youve ever wondered what a drive-in Shakespeare film would look like, youre in the right place!"


SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:


· High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation of the feature, transferred from original film elements by MGM

Willie Dynamite Dual Format Blu-ray & DVD


Competes with the best of blaxploitation on all levels.


Release Date: 6th February 2017


HES TIGHT, TOGETHER, AND MEAN.

The hands-down winner of the all-out best blaxploitation movie of the seventies, declares author and artist Darius James in Thats Blaxploitation! Willie Dynamite may not be as well-known as John Shaft, Sweet Sweetback or Super Flys Youngblood Priest, but he certainly deserves to be."


"Who is Willie Dynamite? Hes the flashiest pimp in New York he drives a personalised purple-and-gold Cadillac and wears some of the most eye-catching outfits ever seen on a cinema screen. He wants to be number one, but with the police, the D.A., fellow pimps and a tough-talking social worker on his tail, can a man as arrogant and amoral as Willie D avoid a downfall?"


"Willie Dynamite competes with the best of blaxploitation on all levels. Roscoe Orman dominates with his central performance – a star turn thats the equal of Richard Roundtree in Shaft or Pam Grier in Coffy. Multi-award-winning director Gilbert Moses balances action and social commentary as deftly as Gordon Parks, Jr. did with Super Fly. And the score by J.J. Johnson featuring Motown legend Martha Reeves is as catchy as anything composed by Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield or James Brown."


SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:


· High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation of the feature, transferred from original film elements by MGM

· Original 1.0 mono audio (uncompressed on the Blu-ray)

Chaney approaches a hustler named Speed and convinces him that he can win big money for them both. Chaney wins a few tough illegal fights bare-fisted but Speed's carelessness with his money and indebtedness to a gang of thugs Chaney to fight one last match with Street, a huge monster of a man. The final bout is a no-holds-barred, knock-down, drag-out fight that Bronson fans will love."

Written and directed by Vicente Aranda (Lovers) and starring Simon Andreu (Beyond Re-Animator, The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian), Maribel Martin (A Bell From Hell), and Alexandra Bastedo (The Ghoul), this haunting shocker of lesbianism and reincarnation is based upon Le Fanu's immortal vampire tale Carmila.
