Just this very minute ordered The Evil That Men Do from Network for just over £4.

I've never seen the film before so i'm really looking forward to it.

There's a japanese disc coming out of Rider on The Rain, but may not be English friendly.

Rider on the Rain Blu-ray (Japan)

DVDCompare says the Network release is the best -
OVERALL: Draw
Between R1, R2 UK from "Network", R2 France/Spain/Italy/Germany and R4 for the longer 'R' rated version.


It's a film that does seem to have a checkered history with the censors.

Yeah, it’s the longer R-rated version, although Germany did release the unrated version on blu-ray (a few seconds more violence) in February.

Death Wish 4 - The Crackdown (1987)

Paul Kersey is out to avenge the cocaine induced death of his girlfriend's daughter, so he tracks down who supplied the drug and pits two rival drug gangs against each other as the violence spills onto the sidewalks of LA.

Probably my second favourite Death Wish film following the action packed urban warfare of Death Wish 3. Although The Crackdown retains the violence it feels like a somewhat lighter watch than what preceded. Naturally bad people do bad things but it's just not as glorified or seedy as the film strays more into action movie territory rather than Vigilantes R' Us and thus comes across more of a crowd pleaser than typical Death Wish thriller. Most likely due to J.Lee Thompson - an action specialist - taking over the directorial reigns from Michael Winner.

Sporting a Winner esq sadistic opening and some memorable action set pieces, Death Wish - The Crackdown always does it for me.

Came across this one recently, and wondered if it was worth picking up? Definitely not your typical Bronson film
