Hi everyone,
With just a few more week's until Shameless' incredible release of Lucio Fulci's violent
Contraband, it's time to reveal some more details!
SHAM043: CONTRABAND
aka THE SMUGGLER
Lucio Fulci - known as the Godfather of Gore (
Zombie Flesh Eaters,
The Beyond) - unflinchingly depicts the ultra-violence of the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra.
CONTRABAND is all the more brutal because of the lack of the surreal fantasy of his other works.
Hard-as-nail stalwart Fabio Testi (
Revolver) stars as Luca, an ‘old-school’ cigarette smuggler who triggers a ferocious mob war when his brother is killed and his wife kidnapped by a rival gang headed by a totally depraved sadist, exquisitely played by Marcel Bozzufi (the killer in
French Connection!), who are intent on replacing the status-quo with their deadly drugs.
Fulci depicts the ensuing carnage - which will turn the otherwise idyllic bay of Naples red - unleashing his trade-mark gut-splattering, brain-exploding scenes of eye-popping graphic cruelty. This
definitive limited numbered edition is released by Shameless for
the 1st time ever uncut (over 5 mins longer) and, uniquely features both its English and the original Italian audio with English subtitles.
Special Features Include: - Collector's Limited Edition Lenticular Cover
- English plus Italian Audio with optional English Subtitles
- Alternative Italian Credits
- English Theatrical Trailer
- Shameless Crime Trailer Park
