Doomed Megalopolis 2: The Last War - BLU-RAY

This live-action, supernatural thrill-ride features stunning creature designs by H.R. Giger of ALIEN fame! A psychic, Yasunori Kato, plots to destroy Tokyo and revert the city back to it's ancient origins as a desolate 'holy ground.' This leads Kato to resurrect Masadako, hoping that he will seek vengeance on Tokyo. But Kato's first step is to impregnate Masadako's living descendent, Yukai. Just as he's about to demolish Tokyo with a massive earthquake, Masadako does not awaken but instead lashes out at Kato. When Kato tries to kidnap Yukai's daughter, a woman warrior confronts Kato to prevent the girl's sacrifice and the impending apocalyptic doom! For it's time, THE LAST MEGALOPOLIS was a box office smash and one of the most expensive Japanese fantasy productions of that decade. It introduced many of the mythical tropes now commonplace in Japanese fantasy media including the character of Kato, who went on to influence and appear in video games (Street Fighter), anime and other films. From the producer of classic J-horror hits that spawned Hollywood remakes such as RINGU, JU-ON and DARK WATER! There was a sequel DOOMED MEGALOPOLIS THE LAST WAR made the following year

Newly Restored! Earthquakes in the Pacific send a massive tsunami around the globe, reducing New York City to rubble. Martin Webster (Sidney Blackmer, Rosemary's Baby) survives the catastrophe but is separated from his wife (Lois Wilson) and children. Pairing up with a headstrong young woman (Peggy Shannon), Webster struggles to rebuild civiilzation and cultivate a new post-apocalyptic moral code amidst the pillagers and vigilantes who remain. For years considered a lost film, and later emerging in a poor-quality Italian-dubbed version, Deluge is the holy grail of disaster movies. In 2016, Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films, with the help of the Library of Congress, located the original 35mm film elements, including the English-language soundtrack, and it is from these materials that the restoration has been meticulously performed. Directed by Felix E. Feist (The Devil Thumbs a Ride, Donovan s Brain), DELUGE lives up to it's near-mythic reputation. Not only are the destruction scenes truly extraordinary, the drama of survival among the rubble is presented with a dark candor that is far more complex than one expects of a film of this vintage. Also featured on this disc is the Pre-Code drama BACK PAGE, starring Peggy Shannon (DELUGE) as a small-town newspaper woman who tries to bring down a notorious white-collar criminal.

Director Monte Hellman's acclaimed road drama features musicians James Taylor and Dennis Wilson as Inchthe DriverInch and Inchthe Mechanic,Inch two car-obsessed wanderers in a '55 Chevy who are challenged to a cross-country race by another driver (Warren Oates) in a brand-new GTO. Their race turns into a rambling odyssey fueled by an offbeat series of encounters along the way. With Laurie Bird, Rudolph Wurlitzer; look for Harry Dean Stanton as a hitchhiker. 103 min.
