Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has revealed an exclusive new, fully uncut 4K restoration of David Webb Peoples' film The Salute of the Jugger a.k.a. The Blood of Heroes (1989), starring Rutger Hauer, Delroy Lindo, Anna Katarina, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Gandhi MacIntyre. 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases are expected to arrive on the market in early 2025.
Label statement: "We are thrilled to reveal Umbrella's new UNCUT 4K restoration of the post-apocalyptic gladiator showdown THE SALUTE OF THE JUGGER (aka THE BLOOD OF HEROES), supervised by cinematographer David Eggby (Mad Max) and starring the iconic Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Dog skulls on sticks, tires for helmets, underground cities, and wounds sewn shut with fish hooks. A future where pride comes before life and dust coats every inch of skin where there isn't dried blood. Dreams of heroics with no choice but to bite, scratch, and claw - tooth and nail - to victory!
Directed by the writer of Blade Runner and Unforgiven, David Webb Peoples, and featuring Toecutter/Immortan Joe himself Hugh Keays-Byrne, this dystopian action sci-fi utilises the barren Australian outback as an endless arena for brutal head-to-head and head-to-hammer face-offs between hardened teams of Juggers.
A spiritual successor to the Mad Max franchise, featuring even more crossover from editor Richard Francis-Bruce to actor Max Fairchild, this collision of cinematic worlds remains one of the most underrated films of its era and returns now to bolster its status as a stone-cold cult classic!
The Salute of the Jugger joins our recent slate of 4K restorations including Hardware, Wake in Fright, Lake Mungo, Black Sheep, and even more to be announced this week."
