Toy Robot Video has announced that it will add four new titles to its catalog this October. They are:
Manhunt (1976), Watchers (1988), Trick or Treat (1986), and High Road to China (1983).
Manhunt
MANHUNT sees the iconic Ken Takakura (A FUGITIVE FROM THE PAST, BLACK RAIN, THE YAKUZA) reunited with Japan's top action director Junya Sato (THE BULLET TRAIN) in a high-octane crime thriller that takes him across the whole of Japan.
When Fuyuto Morioka (Takakura), a chief prosecutor for the Ministry of Justice, is arrested for a crime he didn't commit, he escapes from custody. Trailed by a detective and two shadowy figures wielding shotguns, Morioka's investigation into who might want to see him locked away sees him uncover a dark web of government and corporate corruption involving a dangerous mind-controlling drug developed by a sinister pharmaceutical company.
A star-studded blockbuster featuring some of Japan's most familiar actors, including Kunie Tanaka, Ryo Ikebe and Ko Nishimura, MANHUNT proved a surprise box-office smash, inspiring a 2017 remake by John Woo, and is now presented in a brand new high-definition restoration with original lossless stereo audio.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
UK STREET DATE: OCTOBER 19.
Watchers
It started as a secret experiment... It ended as a new breed of terror. They were created in a top-secret government laboratory, enhanced by genetic masterminds, given superior intelligence, and bred to be the perfect weapons. Now they are on the loose.
Corey Haim stars as Travis Cornell, who befriends a stray golden retriever. Little does he know that this extraordinary dog is about to lead him on the most terrifying adventure.

Trick or Treat 4K Blu-ray
Sammi Curr is a rock'n'roll nightmare. His fans won't let him DIE. He won't let them LIVE. Rock'n'roll will never die in this 80s cult favourite, starring Marc Price (Family Ties) as Eddie Weinbauer, a teenage outcast who is devastated after the death of his heavy metal idol, Sammi Curr (Tony Fields). But as Halloween approaches, Eddie soon realises that only he can stop Sammi's vengeful soul from making a horrifying encore from beyond the grave.
Featuring special appearances by Gene Simmons (KISS) and Ozzy Osbourne and a legendary soundtrack by Fastway, this Dual Format release features a 4K restoration of this heavy metal horror classic, a new head-banging 5.1 surround sound mix and hours of bonus material.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
High Road to China
Tom Selleck (MAGNUM P.I.) and Bess Armstrong (JAWS 3-D) star in this freewheeling action comedy set in the roaring twenties. Patrick O'Malley (Selleck), a washed-up and alcoholic aviator, meets his match when he's hired by high-strung heiress Eve Tozer (Armstrong) to find her father, long-lost somewhere in Asia. Making their way eastward in O'Malley's WWI biplane, the disparate couple bicker their way through several high adventures, narrow escapes and encounters with dangerous bandits along the way.
With its thrilling aerial action sequences and a charming old-fashioned romance plot, HIGH ROAD TO CHINA also boasts a terrific soundtrack by John Barry and a fantastic support cast, including Brian Blessed (FLASH GORDON), Wilford Brimley (THE THING) and Cassandra Gava (CONAN THE BARBARIAN).
