British label 101 Films has partnered with the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) and will begin releasing its titles in the United Kingdom. The first two titles to be released on Blu-ray are: Lady Street Fighter (1981) and Effects (1980).
Lady Street Fighter
Official description: She makes the bad guys bleed! Written and produced by exploitation demigod Renee Harmon (FROZEN SCREAM) and directed by the legendary James Bryan (DON'T GO IN THE WOODS), this is the story of Linda (Harmon), a tough-as-nails karate cop on the trail of the ruthless scumbags who murdered her twin sister! From the outrageous fight scenes to Harmon's incredible outfits, LADY STREET FIGHTER (1981) is a joyous blast of no-holds-barred chaos from one of the most important lady filmmakers in genre history. Don't miss the special appearance by Trace Carradine, the most elusive Carradine brother of all!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Effects
Official description: Cobbled together with loose change by George Romero's friends, EFFECTS (1980) is a mesmerizing D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. A group of coked-up filmmakers -- including Tom "DAWN OF THE DEAD" Savini, Joe "DAY OF THE DEAD" Pilato, and John "TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE" Harrison -- gather in Pittsburgh to make a slasher. As filming begins and "accidents" happen, it's clear that something isn't right. EFFECTS is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own.
