New on Blu-ray: VIGILANTE (1982) Starring Robert Forster & Fred Williamson - Remastered Special Edition

Product Description: New York City factory worker Eddie Marino (Robert Forster, Oscar nominee for JACKIE BROWN) is a solid citizen and regular guy, until the day a sadistic street gang brutally assaults his wife and murders his child. But when a corrupt judge sets the thugs free, Eddie goes berserk and vows revenge. Now there's a new breed of marauder loose on the city streets, enforcing his own kind of law. His justice is swift. His methods are violent. He is the VIGILANTE.

Fred Williamson (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN), Richard Bright (THE GODFATHER), Rutanya Alda (AMITYVILLE II: THE POSSESSION), Carol Lynley (THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE), Woody Strode (SPARTACUS), Joe Spinell (MANIAC) and Salsa legend Willie Colon co-star in this hard-hitting exploitation classic from director William Lustig (MANIAC COP 2) that many critics consider to be better - and more shocking - than the original DEATH WISH. Now Blue Underground is thrilled to present VIGILANTE in a pristine new 4K 1080p Restoration and fully loaded with Extras!

A train rolls into its final stop. From one of the freight cars jumps a weary-eyed transient with dreams of a fresh start in a new town. Instead, he lands smack-dab in the middle of an urban hellhole, a place where the cops are crooked and the underprivileged masses are treated like insignificant animals. This is a city where crime reigns supreme, and the man pulling the strings is known only as "The Drake." Along with his two cold-blooded and sadistic sons, Ivan and Slick, he rules with an iron fist, and nobody dares fuck with The Drake, especially not some hobo. Director Jason Eisener's blood-soaked return to the Sundance Film Festival is more than just a nod to the grindhouse flicks of the 1970s and '80s; he ups the ante in a major way, and Rutger Hauer's performance is a legendary display of brutal ass-kicking and meticulous name-taking that is not to be missed. -- (c) Magnet

"Hobo with a Shotgun" was actually featured as a fake trailer in "Grindhouse". And just like "Machete", it turned up as a full-fledged feature film in pure grindhouse tradition. What else is there to say ? If you love this kind of exploitation flick (like I do), then you will absolutely love this one. Rutger Hauer is just awesome. It's really great he gets to work as a leading actor again, and it's not so far removed from all the B films he's done in the past. Fair warning for anyone who is not familiar with the genre : it's gruesomely violent, which is why it's going to be released Unrated.
