Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of James William Guercio's Electra Glide in Blue (1973), starring Robert Blake, Mitchell Ryan, Elisha Cook Jr., Billy Green Bush, and Royal Dano. The release will be available for purchase on August 16.
Official description: With its mesmerizing visuals, Easy Rider-style social commentary and electrifying rock soundtrack, Electra Glide in Blue is the quintessential '70s cult classic.
Robert Blake (Busting, TV's Baretta) creates a vivid character of almost mythic proportions as a small motorcycle cop in Arizona who's promoted for exposing a murder. Eventually his basic virility runs him afoul of the sheriff and he's busted back down to his bike, the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. With classic irony, he finally comes into deadly conflict with a group of hippies…the very people who most nearly reflect his own values.
The brilliant cinematography of Conrad Hall (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and an uncompromising screenplay by Robert Boris (Steele Justice) highlight this stunning film debut for producer/director/composer James William Guerico. Featuring fine supporting turns by Billy "Green" Bush (The Organization), Mitchell Ryan (High Plains Drifter), Elisha Cook Jr. (I Wake Up Screaming) and Royal Dano (Spaced Invaders).
