Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray releases of Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995) and Brian Trenchard-Smith's Turkey Shoot (1982). The two releases will be available for purchase on September 1.
Showgirls
Label description: The cult classic Showgirls is the first title entry into our brand new sub-label 'Sensual Sinema'. This volume includes exclusive extra features and limited O-Ring packaging and artwork restoration.
There are films that merely tiptoe into the world of the erotic – and then there is Showgirls. Ridiculed and reviled on release, arguably responsible for derailing the Hollywood career of its star Elizabeth Berkley… but more recently re-examined as a satirical inversion of the American dream into a glitzy nightmare.
Small-town girl Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) is determined to make it as feature dancer in the bitch-eat-bitch, sex-soaked world of the Las Vegas showrooms.The reigning queen of Sin City Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon) is not going to give up her crown – or man (Kyle MacLachlan) – without a fight.
Imagined by master stylist director Paul Verhoeven and legendary screenwriter of the outrageous Joe Eszterhas (the duo behind Basic Instinct), Showgirls is more than a movie – it's a phenomenon.
To launch Umbrella Entertainment's Sensual Sinema collection, we invite you to sneak into the dressing room and slide into a stage-side seat as Nomi, Cristal and the uninhibited Showgirls troupe leave nothing to the imagination. This uncut Blu-ray release exposes Showgirls in all its sexy, crazy, flamboyant glory.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Label description: Relentless violence! Gratuitous nudity! Deformed circus freaks! Prepare yourself for the most infamous and controversial Ozploitation shocker of them all!
After refusing to conform to the rigid, strictly ordered society of futuristic 1995, Paul Anders (Steve Railsback) and Chris Walters (Olivia Hussey) are labelled 'deviants' and delivered to a brutal maximum-security behaviour modification camp. They soon discover that their only chance of freedom is to survive the "turkey shoot" - a vicious and bloody manhunt devised by ruthless camp warden Thatcher (Michael Craig).
The odds are stacked against them and the hunt is on. Who will survive this outrageous blood and thunder shocker? Ozploitation mavericks Brian Trenchard-Smith (The Man from Hong Kong) and Antony I. Ginnane (Patrick) unite and proudly deliver the ultimate high-camp splatterfest!
