British distributors 88 Films have provided a promotional trailer and final details for the upcoming Blu-ray release of Teruo Ishii's Detonation: Violent Riders (1975), starring Sonny Chiba, Kôichi Iwaki, Tomoko Ai, Junko Matsudaira, and Hiroshi Nawa. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on July 21.

Description: Iwaki (Koichi Iwaki) is a motorbike mechanic with big dreams of racing professionally. Then temptation arrives in the shapely form of Mayumi (Junko Matsudaira), the wild and free lover of Mitsuda (Yusuke Natsu), the leader of the Red Rose Gang, a pack of speed freaks tearing up the town. Iwaki meanwhile has his sights set on the sweet and innocent Michiko (Tomoko Ai), but any potential romance is hampered by her overprotective brother Tsugami (Sonny Chiba) and Mitsuda's bullish plans to make Michiko his own trophy. Does Iwaki take the straight and narrow option, or opt for a more dangerous road?
