Severin Films has dated its standard retail Blu-ray edition of Guy Magar's Lookin' Italian (1994), starring Jay Acovone, Matt LeBlanc, Stephanie Richards, Lou Rawls, and John LaMotta. The release will be available for purchase on February 24.
Description: Seven years after unleashing his horror classic RETRIBUTION, filmmaker Guy Magar rolled the dice to write, produce and direct the low-budget mob drama he described as "a tribute to Martin Scorsese" and which introduced an unknown Matt LeBlanc only months before landing his breakout role in Friends: Having survived a New York City shootout gone horrifically wrong, a former mafioso (Jay Acovone of Beauty and the Beast and Stargate SG-1) is now living a quiet life working in a Los Angeles used bookstore. But when his reckless nephew (LeBlanc) gets involved with local gang culture, they're both dragged into an unforgiving urban jungle where fear is weakness, vengeance is destiny and family bonds can never be broken. Three-time Grammy winning soul legend Lou Rawls co-stars – with Denise Richards in one of her earliest film roles – in "Matt LeBlanc's lost movie, featuring the young actor like you've never seen him before" (Inside Edition), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 2 hours of Special Features that include a long-unseen 1993 on-set interview with LeBlanc.
