Vinegar Syndrome has
tabbed Sept. 10 as the street date for the double-feature Blu-ray release of
two fully restored (from the original 35mm camera negatives) action gems from cult
filmmaker Ted V. Mikels.
Titled The
Ted V. Mikels’ Collection, we find as the lead film the 1973 precursor
to Charlie’s
Angels (as well as something of an inspiration for Tarantino’s Kill
Bill), The Doll Squad. The
alluring Francine York (Cannon for Cordoba, The
Centerfold Girls, Flood!, etc.) stars as Sabrina (Kate
Jackson’s character in Charlie’s Angels), the head of a femme fatale “commando” unit assigned to
track down a villainous space program saboteur.
Not until two of her
compatriots are murdered does Sabrina connect the dots and realize that the
betrayal comes from within (Michael Ansara) … nothing can stop her and her
“doll squad” as they overcome all odds to stop the madman’s insane plans.
Bonus features include
commentary from filmmaker Ted V. Mikels, a video interview with Francine York
and two separate video interviews with Mikels.
The companion feature is
his 1980 chop-socky thriller, Mission: Killfast.
