Bangkok Dangerous
Description: A deaf-mute killer stalks the glittering, rain-slicked streets of Bangkok, guns blazing in total silence. One man. No words. Zero mercy. Until a chance encounter with a gentle pharmacy girl shatters his world and forces him to choose between love and the only life he's ever known.
Explosive slow-motion shootouts. Pulsing club carnage. Heart-wrenching romance drenched in blood and rain. The Pang Brothers' raw, stylish, gut-punching debut that put Thai cinema on the map. This Blu-ray is pure, uncut 90s Asian extreme cinema adrenaline - relentless, and ready to blow your mind all over again.
STREET DATE: MARCH 31.
Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis
Description: In 2004 Thailand, a smug SARS-free paradise crumbles when a mutant virus, smuggled by a bug, zombifies a Bangkok apartment block. Enter the ragtag heroes: battery-powered sword master Master Thep, virgin rescuer Khun Krabii, feisty kidnappee Liu, and exploding-vaccine doc Dr. Diana.
Armed with machetes, swords, and zero budget, they slice through undead hordes in a glorious mess of blood, boobs, and Star Wars jokes so bad you'll need a vaccine against cringe. It's Shaun of the Dead on ya ba, Attack of the Clones on crack, and the greatest Thai zombie flick you'll ever see while questioning your life choices.
STREET DATE: MARCH 31.
Cutie Honey: Tears
Description: Sometime in the near future, the once bustling city of Tokyo rapidly erodes under the constant downpour of toxic rain. While those on the streets struggle to breathe amid the fumes, the rich and powerful look down upon them within an ivory tower at the city's center.
With Tokyo under the thumb of a merciless android and her countless assault drones, scant few have dared to buck the status quo. That is, until a daring reporter comes across a mysterious woman who just might hold the key to the city's salvation.
Humanity's last hope emerges from the darkness and into the neon light in this cyberpunk reimagining of Go Nagai's (Devilman, Mazinger Z) iconic heroine! Presented in the original Japanese language with English subtitles!

Voltes V: The Complete Series
The merciless invaders of the Boazan Empire have set their sights on Earth. But their coming was foreseen: Many years ago, Dr. Goh and his allies began constructing a giant robot to battle the coming threat. Dr. Goh went missing soon after, but his team chose five elite youngsters to pilot the mighty Voltes V... including his own three sons!
As the second of Tadao Nagahama's 'romantic' robot series, Voltes V continued to cultivate the high drama and social relevance that would make mecha shows an all-ages affair. An international hit exploring themes of family, prejudice, and the nature of humanity itself, Voltes V was and remains an enduring masterpiece of the genre!
