Shout Factory has informed us that it will add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog:
Deadly Outlaw Rekka (2002) and
Samurai Resurrection (2003). The two releases will be sold exclusively through the label's site on December 19.
Deadly Outlaw Rekka
Description: Kunisada is on a violent and surreal road trip as he searches for those responsible for the death of his gang boss. But with a violent temper and mouthy demeanor, he's quick to find trouble with enemies and Yakuza allies alike! Can he track down those enemies and avenge his fallen master before he's taken out by his allies?
This expertly crafted tale of criminal vengeance and underworld betrayal is a masterclass in crime filmmaking with a pulse-pounding score and a cameo by the man, Sonny Chiba!
Samurai Resurrection
Description: 37,000 peasants perished in the Shimabara Revolt; among them, the leader of that uprising, Shiro Amakusa. More than a decade later, Amakusa rises from the dead, hell-bent on revenge. Resurrecting a ghastly army of living dead master swordsmen by way of an occult art called "Makai Tensho" (demonic transmigration), he sets his sights on overthrowing the Shoganate. Standing in their way is legendary samurai Jubei Yagyu, who will have to fight the reincarnation of his own father before the fierce final confrontation with Shiro Amakusa himself!
