New on Blu-ray: DISCO ITALIANA (1978-1979) - 3-Film Collection

Product Description: From the country that brought you Sharksploitation, Nunsploitation and Indiana Jonesploitation comes the white-suited subgenre that stayed alive for less than 18 months. Severin Films is now struttingly proud to resurrect this trio of Italian Discosploitation classics, on disc for the first time ever: AMERICAN FEVER, starring Mircha Carven, Zora Kerova and co-written by George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori, boldly confronts a young man's disco dreams. The deliriously cheesy GREASE ROCK fearlessly blends comedy, action, drama, surreal dance-offs and non-stop music. And in the now-restored Complete Version of JOHN TRAVOLTO: THE FACE WITH 2 LEFT FEET, Giuseppe Spezia – who bears an uncanny resemblance to the American star – goofily pursues disco DJ Ilona Staller (aka adult star/politician Cicciolina) with a little help from his friends. All three films in this collection have been scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and include 5+ combined hours of Special Features plus a JOHN TRAVOLTO Bonus Soundtrack CD.

DISC ONE - AMERICAN FEVER

The very first Italian Discosploitation film is also the closest in tone to SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, thanks in large part to its smart screenplay co-written by George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori (ANTHROPOPHAGOUS, ABSURD): Mircha Carven (SS EXPERIMENT LOVE CAMP, DEATH WILL HAVE YOUR EYES) stars as Tony, gas station attendant by day and king of the Rome discos at night. But Tony's dreams of becoming a movie star in America are complicated by his best friend's deepening debt to loan sharks, his growing relationship with an ambitious beauty (Zora Kerova of CANNIBAL FEROX and TERROR EXPRESS) and the cold-hearted realities of the Italian film industry. Gianni Medici (FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD) co-stars in this surprisingly grim drama directed by Claudio Giorgi (A MAN FOR SALE), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time ever.

DISC TWO - GREASE ROCK a.k.a. BRILLANTINA ROCK

In his first and only film, Monty Ray Garrison delivers a star-making performance as Robbie, a goofy yet charming rogue who loves his sidecar motorcycle, hair grease, and disco. But when he meets a high-class American (Auretta Gay of ZOMBIE fame in her screen debut), he'll pursue her through a polyester odyssey of tight outfits, insane dance-offs, rival gangs, car chases, J&B, a disco cover version of 'Satisfaction' and the big King & Queen of Rock Contest. Fiamma Maglione (EATEN ALIVE!) and pop star Cecilia Buonocore co-star in this defiantly WTF? mash-up directed by Michele Massimo Tarantini (MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY, A MAN CALLED MAGNUM) and featuring wall-to-wall music by Gianfranco Reverberi (THE REINCARNATION OF ISABEL, DELIRIUM), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time ever.

DISC THREE - JOHN TRAVOLTO: THE FACE WITH 2 LEFT FEET

The most infamous Italian Discosploitation film of all is "everything you would imagine such a thing to be" (Dangerous Minds) and then some: In his sole leading role, Guiseppe Spezia stars as clumsy wallflower Gianni who spends his nights at 'John's Fever' hopelessly in love with the club's beautiful DJ (adult film star/Parliamentarian Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina). But after his friends give him a complete makeover, Gianni becomes a dead-ringer for a certain American movie star who just might win the heart of a disco queen. Massimo Vanni (RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR), Sonia Viviani (NIGHTMARE CITY) and Angelo Infanti (THE GODFATHER) co-star in this "treasure of Travoltasploitation" (Cinetarium) directed by Neri Parenti (FRACCHIA VS. DRACULA) from a screenplay by Giovanni Simonelli (A CAT IN THE BRAIN, JUNGLE RAIDERS) and Oscar® nominee Massimo Franciosa (THE FOUR DAYS OF NAPLES, SPASMO), now scanned in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever with a Bonus Soundtrack CD.
