Mill Creek Entertainment Announces The Return Of Ultraman On Apr. 13 With The Blu-ray Release Of Ultraman Leo: The Complete Series

Fans have been waiting since October for the next Ultraman announcement from Mill Creek Entertainment.   That is when Ultraman Taro: The Complete Series, a six-disc Blu-ray collection was announced for release on Jan. 12.   Each day that passes, anxiety grows … until now!!

The date has been assigned, Apr. 13, for the next installment; the next Blu-ray collection … drum roll please!!   Next up will Ultraman Leo: The Complete Series, also a six-disc collection and featuring Digital Copy.

These are dark times for Earth and the Monster Attack Crew, but an Ultra Warrior from the destroyed planet L77 has traced the culprits to Earth and wants revenge.   The same destructive force, Magma, along with his warrior Giras, “Red” and “Black,” have attacked Ultraseven and crippled him to the point where he can no longer defend the planet.   What to do?

Ultraseven has taken the human form of Dan Moroboshi (Kôji Moritsugu) and he takes the new arrival, Gen Ôtori (Ryû Manatsu), under his wing and trains him to become the next defender of Earth against the onslaught of Magma and his minions.   Can he put revenge aside and focus on the task before him … only time will tell, which is running short.

Ultraman Leo: The Complete Series, from Mill Creek Entertainment, is presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

 

 

 

 

Arrow Video Looks To Apr. 20 For The Blu-ray Release Of Director Jack Hill's Switchblade Sisters

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a newly-prepared Blu-ray presentation of writer/director Jack Hill’s 1975 exploitation gem, Switchblade Sisters, ready for grindhouse fans to enjoy on Apr. 20.

High school is a place where young minds are formed, hormones run wild and in Jack Hill’s world, gangs run the show.   The new kid, Maggie (Joanne Nail in her feature film debut — The Gumball Rally, The Visitor, Full Moon High), transfers to a new school and before she can say “hello,” she is mistakenly arrested as a member of The Dagger Debs and tossed into juvenal hall.

Here, “Mom” Smackley (Kate Murtagh — Farewell, My Lovely, The Car, Waxwork II: Lost in Time), the lovely lady in charge, takes a liking to her, being “fresh meat” after all, and is hot to introduce the innocent Maggie to the merits of lesbian love in a prison setting.

Fortunately, The Dagger Debs leader, Lace (Robbie Lee — Big Bad Mama … and later a voice actress for such kid shows as Rainbow Brite and The Get Along Gang), comes to Maggie’s aid and makes her a member of The Dagger Debs.  

Now, if you’ve seen Grease, you know that the female gang, The Pink Ladies, had their male counterparts, The T-Birds.   Such is the case here as The Dagger Debs have The Silver Daggers, run by Dominic (Asher Brauner), who quickly “initiates” Maggie into the ways of high school gang life.   We will come to learn that this doesn’t sit well Dominic’s main-squeeze, Lace … but we will save that for the third act.

Harkening back to Grease, The T-Birds had their gang rival and so do The Silver Daggers, which is a run by Crabs (Chase Newhart).   He is smarter and meaner than Dominic, who mistakenly takes a switchblade to a gunfight — at the local roller rink, no less — and that’s it for him.   Maggie, while Lace is sidelined (don’t ask), takes over The Dagger Debs, including Patch (Monica Gayle), Bunny (Janice Karman) and Donut (Kitty Bruce), cuts ties with The Silver Daggers and teams up with the cross-town black girl gang run by Muff (Marlene Clark) and rebrands the new operation as The Jezebels.  

Maggie has gone from new girl to juvey girl to gang girl to gang queen and she’s still in high school.   We can’t wait until she gets to college … if she survives that long.   Crabs is still out there and high school girls can be a very jealous breed.

Filmmaker Jack Hill was at the top of his game with Switchblade Sisters, he knew what worked and had delivered such classics in the women-in-prison and blaxploitation film genres as The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage, Coffy and Foxy Brown, but surprisingly after this he would exit the business, but his mark had been made.

Bonus goodies include a newly minted commentary featuring Samm Deighan and Kat Ellinger, director Elijah Drenner’s 2016 documentary, We’re The Jezebels, the featurette titled “Gangland” (Drenner and Hill revisit the filming locations) and more.
