Cauldron Films has revealed that it will add three new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. They are: Supersonic Man (1979) Emergency Squad (1974), and Urban Warriors (1987). The three releases are scheduled to arrive on the market in late August.
Supersonic Man
Description: From the director of Pieces comes another film that is exactly what you think it is.
An extra-terrestrial being (Antonio Cantafora - Demons 2) is sent to earth to save it from evil genius Dr. Gulik (Cameron Mitchell - Blood and Black Lace), intent on using his army of henchmen, a killer robot, and unstoppable weapons to bring the world to its knees. Our hero arrives just as a top scientist (José María Caffarel - Ricco: the Mean Machine) is kidnapped and sets his sights on protecting his daughter Patricia (Diana Polakov - The People Who Own the Dark), who is next on the hit list. Using both his secret identity and super hero alter-ego, Supersonic (José Luis Ayestarán - Conan the Barbarian) thwarts the villain at every turn until the final showdown!
A (mostly) family-friendly homage to Superman and Star Wars from Juan Piquer Simón, the director responsible for Pieces and Slugs is everything you could want from this kind of film… A soaring soundtrack, countless miniatures, wild optical FX, flame-throwing robots, sharks, and of course, a guy in tights saving the girl and the day! Famously ridiculed by RiffTrax, Cauldron Films unironically brings you a brand new 2K restoration from the interpositive that is going to be your next obsession of campy cult cinema. Now available for the first time on Blu-ray, this limited edition release also includes new interviews, a full color booklet with liner notes, and a Cauldron Crypt bandolier. May the force of the galaxies go with you!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: Consumed with vengeance, Tomas Milian (The Big Gundown) sets out to take down the man who murdered his wife during a robbery. Meanwhile, the culprit, Il Marsigliese himself (Gastone Moschin - The Godfather Part II) has one last big heist up his sleeve if he can stay ahead of the law and keep his own gang from mutiny!
Stelvio Massi's (Convoy Busters, Black Cobra) Emergency Squad is classic Eurocrime fueled by revenge and greed! Featuring supporting performances from Ray Lovelock (Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man) and Stefania Casini (Suspiria), co-written by the unstoppable Dardano Sacchetti (The New York Ripper) with a score by Stelvio Cipriani (Nightmare City), Emergency Squad hits every flavor note in the genre to perfection.
Now available for the first time on Blu-ray in North America with new and archival extras, this limited edition release also includes a full color booklet with liner notes, slipcover, plus an additional Blu-ray with director Mike Malloy's award-winning EUROCRIME! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the '70s (2012) documentary!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: Brad (Bruno Bilotta - Black Cobra) is a muscle-bound technician working in an underground lab when the lights go out unexpectedly. After he and his colleagues (Bjorn Hammer - Opera, Maurice Poli - Massacre) find their way to the surface, they discover that the world has suffered a nuclear disaster that has turned the surviving humans into homicidal mutants ready to kill them all! Searching for people he can trust, he meets the beautiful Julia (Malisa Longo - Ricco: The Mean Machine) and the adventure continues. It's up to Brad and the other straggling survivors to continue the human race as they struggle to defeat the mutants holding the future of humanity hostage!
Holding it's own as a late 80s entry of the Italian Post-Apocalyptic wave, Urban Warriors is a rarely seen oddity for fans of the genre and obscure action/sci-fi films. While old schoolers may remember it from the VHS rental era under the enticing "Michael Dudikoff presents" line, Urban Warriors is now available for the first time on Blu-ray from a 4K scan of the negative. This inagural limited edition Cauldron Crypt release also includes a full color booklet with liner notes by Mike Foster and newly filmed interviews by Cannibal Worlds author and featurette mastermind Eugenio Ercolani!
