Joe Bullet (1973)



















Starring:





Storyline
The banned South African Blaxploitation film has now made it to DVD for our viewing pleasure. 

When local soccer team The Eagles fall prey to a series of onslaughts from a mysterious gangster only a week before the championship final, the team turns to the one man that can help save their chances at victory - Joe Bullet (Ken Gampu). Joe will have to battle against villainous henchmen, escape booby-trap bombs and bring his martial arts expertise to the fore in order to survive an attack from a deadly assassin. In the end he will have to infiltrate the mysterious gangster's hide-out in a dangerous cat-and-mouse rescue mission to save not only The Eagles' two kidnapped star players, but that of his beautiful love interest, Beauty (Abigail Kubeka). The odds will be stacked against him, but he's the man that fights crime, the man that no one can tie down! Joe Bullet!

Black Dragon's Revenge (1975, Blu-Ray Edition by The Film Detective)

For the first time in High Definition, The Black Dragon’s Revenge (1975)




BD-R | 1975 | 90 min | Color | Not Rated | 2.35:1 | Region Free | Trailer |Dolby Digital Sound | Closed Captioning

Code Red DVD’s edition of The Black Dragon’s Revenge (now out-of-print) was long considered the superior digital transfer of this title, but no longer.



The Film Detective’s edition is as detailed as the film’s celluloid will allow, features accurate color rendition and a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with an even slightly wider field of view by comparison. We recommend this as a worthy successor to all previous home video releases, as the current “Definitive Edition” of The Black Dragon’s Revenge.












Available to purchase this Tuesday!
