“THE INDIANA JONES
OF ITALIAN ACTION MOVIES.”
Monster Hunter

THE MARGHERITI ADVENTURE TRILOGY 
housed in a glossy, rigid slipcase with thumb notch

For more than four decades, Antonio Margheriti was a maestro of gothic horror, westerns, giallo, sci-fi and beyond. And in the immediate wake of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, Margheriti directed three over-the-top action-adventure films that can only be described as ‘Indiana Jonesploitation’: In THE HUNTERS OF THE GOLDEN COBRA, David Warbeck and John Steiner star as a pair of WWII rogues in search of an ancient relic with supernatural powers. Warbeck and Steiner return in THE ARK OF THE SUN GOD to raid a mountaintop temple and snatch The Scepter of Gilgamesh. Christopher Connelly and Lee Van Cleef face booby traps, double-crosses and exploding miniatures to hunt a priceless jewel called The Ruby of Gloom in JUNGLE RAIDERS. All three films are newly scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives with 2+ hours of new and archival Special Features curated exclusively for this collection.

JUNGLE RAIDERS

THE WORLDWIDE UHD/BLU-RAY PREMIERES

For the final film in his Indiana Jonesploitation Trilogy, director Antonio Margheriti unleashed a “fun and fast-paced” (Good Efficient Butchery) jungle adventure that became a VHS-era favorite, now in UHD for the first time ever. Christopher Connelly (RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS) stars as a cynical safari guide who leads gullible millionaires on bogus treasure hunts in Malaysia.

Marina Costa (THE FINAL EXECUTIONER) and Luciano Pigozzi (DOUBLE TARGET) co-star in this “utterly charming” (B&S About Movies) action hit written by Giovanni Simonelli (THE ARK OF THE SUN GOD, A CAT IN THE BRAIN) and originally released in America by Cannon Films, newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.
