Meet the Amazing MR. NO LEGS Face to Face on Blu-ray!


Cover art for Massacre Video's Standard Blu-ray release of MR. NO LEGS!MASSACRE VIDEO BRINGS RICOU BROWNING'S FORGOTTEN EXPLOITATION CLASSIC TO BLU-RAY, FULLY UNCUT AND RESTORED IN HIGH-DEFINITION!

Ricou Browning's claim to fame was being the Gill Man in all of the aquatic scenes in the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON trilogy, as well as being the creator of FLIPPER! But what many do not know is that Ricou (who directed family-fare like SALTY and the Gentle Ben TV Series) also directed a little film called MR. NO LEGS. I first heard about this movie from Hudson Horror Show frontman Chris Alo years ago, and listened in disbelief as he told me all about it. And now, thanks to the efforts of Massacre Video, this long lost gem is can continue to build up a cult following!

Synopsis: Double amputee, Mr. No Legs, may not seem much of a threat at first, but cross him and you’ll see why he’s Florida’s ruthless drug kingpin D’Angelo’s deadliest enforcer. With his unique martial arts mastery and shotgun-wielding wheelchair, Mr. No Legs is virtually unstoppable. But when a henchman kills the sister of a straight-shooting cop, D’Angelo’s whole enterprise may come undone, and threaten to bring No Legs down with it.

Scorpion Releasing's Limited Edition GRIZZLY Blu-ray Claws its Way to Amazon.com!


WILLIAM GIRDLER'S "JAWS WITH CLAWS" GETS  A WIDER BLU-RAY RELEASE ON FEBRUARY 6TH!

GRIZZLY has already been released on Blu-ray by Scorpion Releasing (ORDER IT HERE) but was limited to 3,000 copies. This re-release looks to be a carbon copy, though it appears to be missing the isolated music & effects track.

Also, I'm uncertain if this Amazon release includes both the "filtered and unfiltered" versions of the film that were both menu options on the previous edition. Regardless, if you're a fan of GRIZZLY (or "natural Horror" films in general) then be sure to add this to your collection!

Synopsis: When an eighteen-foot, two-thousand-pound grizzly bear starts mauling campers and hikers at a state park, a park ranger (Christopher George - DAY OF THE ANIMALS, ENTER THE NINJA) springs into action. But the job is too big to tackle alone, so he enlists the aid of a naturalist (Richard Jaeckel - THE DIRTY DOZEN, MAKO: THE JAWS OF DEATH) and a helicopter pilot (Andrew Prine - THEY'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE) to take this freak of nature down.

Meanwhile, the giant grizzly, not content with picnic baskets, continues to kill indiscriminately, leaving pools of blood and piles of body parts in his wake. Can the ranger and his cronies end the grizzly's reign of terror without resorting to excessively extreme measures? This post-JAWS, nature-runs-rampant thriller was directed by William Girdler (DAY OF THE ANIMALS, THE MANITOU), and was a box office hit and the top-grossing independent film of 1976.

Umm... that's not how you use a gun!

Disc Specs:
Rated PG | Color | 90 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (2.40:1)
Audio - DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & 2.0

Extras:
  • New Beverly Screening Q&A with co-star Andrew Prine and Producer David Sheldon.
  • Jaws with Claws - Making of featurette with David Sheldon, Writer Harvey Flaxman, and Actors Andrew Prince and Joan McCall.
  • Fun Facts & Trivia
  • Original Theatrical Trailer
GRIZZLY: LIMITED EDITION comes exclusively to AMAZON on Tuesday, February 6th, so it may be time to replace your beloved Shriek Show DVD release.
