Charles Bronson Clone Robert Bronzi Deals in Lead in ONCE UPON A TIME IN DEADWOOD!


Official poster for ONCE UPON A TIME IN DEADWOOD starring Robert Bronzi and Michael Pare.
ROBERT BRONZI HAS A WILD WEST SHOWDOWN WITH MICHAEL PARE IN RENE PEREZ' INDIE WESTERN!

Last year I posted about DEATH KISS (which I still have yet to see) and was bewildered by its leading man Robert Bronzi (formerly Robert Kovacs) because he is a dead ringer for the late and great Charles Bronson. This fact was clearly not lost on Uncork'd Entertainment, who hired Bronzi as their leading man for ONCE UPON A TIME IN DEADWOOD, a new action-packed Western that was apparently filmed at some of the same locations that Sergio Leone utilized for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST! I guess the era of Brons-ploitation has truly begun!

Synopsis: A notorious gunslinger who is slipped a slow-acting poison by an heiress and told he has three days to track down and rescue her sister, who has been kidnapped by a band of hoodlums and holds the antidote. Rene Perez directs from his screenplay, with Jeff Miller (THE TOYBOX) also contributing.

Robert Bronzi (DEATH KISS) plays the gunslinger and Michael Pare (STREETS OF FIRE, BAD MOON) plays the main villain. The remaining cast is rounded out with Karin Brauns (PLAYING WITH DOLLS series), Lauren Compton (CLOWNTOWN), actor-model Chris Matteis, J.D. Angstadt, Jose Varela Garcia, Justin Hawkins, Tony Jackson, and Sierra Sherbundy.

The movie was filmed in California as well as in Western Leone, near Almeria, Spain, site of much of the filming of the famous Sergio Leone/Charles Bronson western ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST!

Available May 16th: Walter Hill's STREETS OF FIRE gets the royal treatment from Shout Select!


WALTER HILL'S CULT CLASSIC "STREETS OF FIRE," COMES TO COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAY ON MAY 16TH FROM SHOUT SELECT!

A friend of mine discovered STREETS OF FIRE about a decade ago and foisted it upon me. While I dug parts of it, overall I wasn't a huge fan. However, now that its gotten some major love from Shout Select, I'm ready to give this "Rock N' Roll Fable" another shot.

Synopsis: Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe, BOONDOCK SAINTS, JOHN WICK), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane, MAN OF STEEL). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Paré, BAD MOON) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling McCoy (Amy Madigan, THE DARK HALF). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis, GHOSTBUSTERS), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins.

This cult favorite features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Jim Steinman, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by The Blasters and The Fixx. Directed by cult filmmaker Walter Hill (THE WARRIORS, SOUTHERN COMFORT, 48 HRS.), STREETS OF FIRE is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses!

BAD MOON rises on Blu-ray this July with lots of great extras!


ON JULY 16TH, SCREAM FACTORY GIVES ERIC RED'S "BAD MOON" A HOWLING GOOD BLU-RAY!

The terrible transformation scene aside, BAD MOON is one of the better entries in werewolf cinema. It's a different kind of lycanthrope flick with a cool were-monster design, and a canine protagonist! I can't wait for this disc!

Film Synopsis: Full, crescent, quarter... each is a Bad Moon for Ted Harrison (Michael Pare). By day, he's a photojournalist visiting family in the Pacific Northwest. By night, he transfigures into a horrific half-human – a werewolf.

Dead men tell no tales, so Ted's sure he alone knows about his vile double life. The secret, however, may be out. The family dog Thor, devoted to defending the household, has his suspicions.

Writer/director Eric Red (COHEN AND TATE, BODY PARTS) delivers a new infusion of thrills with this red blooded shocker. Michael Paré (STREETS OF FIRE) portrays Ted, hiding his accursed condition from his sister (Mariel Hemmingway - LIPSTICK, STAR 80) and nephew (Mason Gamble - DENNIS THE MENACE). What better way to hide it than to create suspicion that the local killings are the work of another – especially if that other is the family's all-too-wise German shepherd!

Disc Specs:
Color | Rated R | 79 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (2.40:1)
Audio - DTS HD Master Audio 5.1(?)

Extras:
  • High-definition Theatrical Cut Of The Film Plus A NEW Director’s Version Supervised And Approved By Eric Red!
  • NEW Nature of the Beast: Making Bad Moon - Featuring Interviews With Writer/Director Eric Red, Actors Michael Paré And Mason Gamble, Special Effects Make-up Artist Steve Johnson And Stunt Coordinator Ken Kirzinger.
  • NEW Audio Commentary With Writer/Director Eric Red (Director’s Version Only).
  • Audio Commentary With Writer/Director Eric Red And Actor Michael Paré (Theatrical Cut).
  • Unrated Opening Scene From The Director’s First Cut (Sourced from VHS).
  • 3 Storyboard Sequences 
  • Original Theatrical Trailer
BAD MOON arrives on Blu-ray on July 16th, and is easily a must-own, if only because there's two versions of the film on this release! You can order this title directly from SHOUT! FACTORY, or from AMAZON.COM right now! Damn, I can't wait to get my paws on this disc!
