“DIRECTOR LEE FROST AND PRODUCER WES BISHOP
WERE LOS ANGELES’ EXPLOITATION TEAM SUPREME.”
DVD Talk

THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE
PLUS WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE BONUS DISC

Though their collaborations included such exploitation classics as HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN, LOVE CAMP 7, THE THING WITH TWO HEADS and RACE WITH THE DEVIL, this 1968 crime shocker from writer/director/cinematographer Lee Frost and co-writer/producer/star Wes Bishop was thought lost for decades. But with the recent discovery of its original camera negative in a Paris vault, it can now be seen restored and uncut for the first time ever: When two bagmen for the L.A. syndicate are robbed of $1 million in Las Vegas mob money by a sexy pair of con artists, it’ll trigger a desperate frenzy of carnal violence and brutal vengeance. Lynn Harris (THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO), legendary producer Bob Cresse (HOT SPUR, THE SCAVENGERS), sexploitation icon David F. Friedman and mysteriously disappeared folk singer Jim Sullivan co-star in this extreme ‘roughie’ newly scanned in 4K, with a Bonus Disc featuring the long-out-of-print 2001 documentary MAU MAU SEX SEX starring Friedman, Dan Sonney, Frank Henenlotter, Mike Vraney and more.
