Excalibur

Also on February 24, the medieval epic fantasy Excalibur makes its world premiere on 4K UHD. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) brings you the definitive cinematic telling of the life and enduring legend of King Arthur, not seen in previous family friendly movies about Camelot. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 for the first time on home video, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.

The wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson, The Exorcist III) acquires the powerful sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake for Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne, The Usual Suspects). The magical weapon allows Uther to be recognized as the King of the Britons. During a feast, Uther begs Merlin to cast a spell that will allow him to sleep with a duke’s wife. Merlin agrees, but only after being promised the king’s future child. Months later, Merlin claims the newborn. When Uther attempts to reclaim the baby, he is ambushed, and before dying, he drives Excalibur into a stone. Legend foretells that only the next true king can free the sword. Merlin places the child, Arthur, with Sir Ector to be raised as a squire. During a tournament to determine England’s new ruler, a grown Arthur (Nigel Terry, The Lion in Winter) unknowingly pulls Excalibur from the stone and is crowned king. He gathers extraordinary knights to his legendary Round Table at Camelot, but his reunion with his magical sister Morgana (Helen Mirren, The Queen) ushers in dark times for his reign. To restore the kingdom, Arthur sends his knights on a perilous quest for the Holy Grail. Among the warriors clad in shining armor are Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Liam Neeson (Taken), and Ciarán Hinds (Miami Vice).

Saga Of The Phoenix

On December 16th, 88 Films proudly presents the North American Blu-ray debut of the Hong Kong spiritual fantasy cult classic, Saga of the Phoenix, in a limited edition release featuring a brand new 2K restoration from the original negative loaded with bonus content.  

The Holy Maiden of Hell, Ashura (Gloria Yip, The Cat), is sentenced to reside for eternity inside a statue of a reclined Buddha after being caught practicing magic on Earth. She refuses her banishment because she can’t exist without the Sun. Abbott Ji Ku (Shintarô Katsu, Zatoichi and the One-Armed Swordsman) and High Abbess (Yuko Natori, Crest of Betrayal) give her seven last days on Earth. Master Peacock (Yuen Biao, Project A), Lucky Fruit (Abe Hiroshi, Godzilla 2000), and others are sent to keep her from breaking her promise to return and serve her punishment. Ashura might not be their only problem.  

Hell’s Concubine (Ngai Suet, Ghost Ballroom) orders her demonic squad to Earth to kidnap Ashura so she can drain her rival’s spirit and control other devils. Saga of the Phoenix is steeped in underworld intrigue and high-flying martial arts choreography, combined with quirky comedic moments. 

Co-directed by Lam Nai Choi (Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky) and Lau Shut-Yue (Tales of the Flying Fox), Saga of the Phoenix is a unique mix of outrageous mystical fantasy and martial arts action. The characters trade blows that defy gravity, battle giant stone dogs, and unleash massive fireballs. And at the center of it all is a cartoonishly adorable genie who befriends Ashura, until the Hell’s Concubine twists him into a soul sucking creature, pushing the film’s fantasy into darker territory. 

The special features include the remastered original Cantonese monaural soundtrack; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a limited edition rigid slip case; a 40 page perfect bound book; a limited edition premium artcard; audio commentary by Frank Djeng and F.J.

April O’Neil (Paige Turco, The Stepfather) buys an ancient golden scepter at a flea market. As she shows it off to Splinter and the Turtles, the device glows and projects April back to feudal Japan.

"Outland"

On November 4, the Sci-fi thriller Outland makes its universal 4K UHD debut.

The Limited Edition release is packed with hours of special features, collectible packaging, and newly commissioned extras.

Federal marshal William O'Niel (Sean Connery, The Untouchables) receives an assignment at a titanium mining operation on Io, a moon of Jupiter. This is a hostile environment where miners in spacesuits work on the harsh rocky surface in 14-hour shifts. There’s not much to do inside the climate controlled outpost besides play racquetball, hang out at a gentleman’s club, and spend their pay in a brothel, all of which are overseen by Mark Sheppard (Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein). The miners are under a lot of pressure to hit quotas. A few have snapped, exposed themselves to the moon’s atmosphere, and suffered horrible deaths. The company blames the incidents on mental breakdowns. O’Niel suspects there is more to the story and enlists the unwilling help of Dr. Lazarus (Frances Sternhagen, Misery). They discover a dangerous stimulant in the blood of a deceased worker, which keeps the miners working long hours for months on end and ultimately leads to psychotic episodes. Can O’Niel break up the drug ring responsible for the deaths?

"Raw Meat"

On September 30th, Blue Underground proudly presents the world premiere of the British cannibal classic Raw Meat (AKA Death Line) on 4K UHD + Blu-ray, packed with bonus content. The film is presented in a brand-new 4K restoration from the original uncensored camera negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby Atmos audio mix.

During a late-night ride on the London Underground, Patricia Wilson (Sharon Gurney, Women in Love) and her boyfriend Alex Campbell (David Ladd, Jonathan Livingston Seagull) find James Manfred, OBE (James Cossins, The Man with the Golden Gun) passed out on the steps to the Russell Square Station. When they fetch a police officer to help, the body disappears.
