Eddie Murphy: Raw Blu-ray Movie
Paramount Pictures | 1987 | 90 min | Rated R | Jan 09, 2024 | Martin Liebman
The movie opens with Eddie as a young boy, entertaining and eventually shocking his family with some decidedly nasty jokes. What follows is 90 minutes of some of the harshest and strongest stand-up you'll ever see. Filmed in 1987 at the Felt Forum in New York City, Eddie Murphy Raw stands as one of the finest comedy concert films ever made.Eddie covers his favourite topics - sex, money and women. He uses his mouth as a comedic weapon, and his skills as an impersonator are equally as impressive. Eddie’s takes on Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby are hilarious, with some of his best material revolving around his own family.

Kill Butterfly Kill & American Commando 6 Blu-ray Movie
Neon Eagle Video | 1982-1987 | 2 Movies, 3 Cuts | 177 min | Not rated | Dec 12, 2023 | Dr. Stephen Larson
Years after being assaulted, a young woman (Juliet Chan) seeks bloody revenge on the five men responsible. She is aided by a retired hitman sympathetic to her plight (“Tattooer Ma” Sha) and a group of like-minded girlfriends. One by one, each of the creeps are caught in a trap and done away with, but her final quarry has a few tricks up his sleeve, leading to a violent climactic confrontation. KILL BUTTERFLY KILL (aka UNDERGROUND WIFE) is a prime example of the so-called ‘Black Movie’, an exploitation sub-genre popular during the early 1980s in Taiwan. Though cheaply made, these were stylish and potent action films with often socially conscious aims and two feet planted firmly in the gutter.
