THE WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERES
OF THREE ITALIAN DISCOSPLOITATION CLASSICS
WITH 5+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
AND BONUS SOUNDTRACK CD
From the country that brought you Sharksploitation, Nunsploitation and Indiana Jonesploitation comes the white-suited subgenre that stayed alive for less than 18 months. Severin Films is now struttingly proud to resurrect this trio of Italian Discosploitation classics, on disc for the first time ever: AMERICAN FEVER, starring Mircha Carven, Zora Kerova and co-written by George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori, boldly confronts a young man’s disco dreams. The deliriously cheesy GREASE ROCK fearlessly blends comedy, action, drama, surreal dance-offs and non-stop music. And in the now-restored Complete Version of JOHN TRAVOLTO: THE FACE WITH 2 LEFT FEET, Giuseppe Spezia – who bears an uncanny resemblance to the American star – goofily pursues disco DJ Ilona Staller (aka adult star/politician Cicciolina) with a little help from his friends. All three films in this collection have been scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and include 5+ combined hours of Special Features plus a JOHN TRAVOLTO Bonus Soundtrack CD.
Disc 1: AMERICAN FEVER
“SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, ITALIAN STYLE…
It depicts lives of distant dreams in Italy, all with a little hair gel and
a white suit like John Travolta. The last 5 minutes are incredible”
Orrerea
THE WORLDWIDE HOME VIDEO PREMIERE
The very first Italian Discosploitation film is also the closest in tone to SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, thanks in large part to its smart screenplay co-written by George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori (ANTHROPOPHAGOUS, ABSURD): Mircha Carven (SS EXPERIMENT LOVE CAMP, DEATH WILL HAVE YOUR EYES) stars as Tony, gas station attendant by day and king of the Rome discos at night. But Tony’s dreams of becoming a movie star in America are complicated by his best friend’s deepening debt to loan sharks, his growing relationship with an ambitious beauty (Zora Kerova of CANNIBAL FEROX and TERROR EXPRESS) and the cold-hearted realities of the Italian film industry. Gianni Medici (FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD) co-stars in this surprisingly grim drama directed by Claudio Giorgi (A MAN FOR SALE), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time ever.
“THE BEST-KNOWN ITALIAN DISCO FILM.”

wacky dancing, mind-blowing music and more cool stuff.”
Euro Fever
THE WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERE
In his first and only film, Monty Ray Garrison delivers a star-making performance as Robbie, a goofy yet charming rogue who loves his sidecar motorcycle, hair grease, and disco. But when he meets a high-class American (Auretta Gay of ZOMBIE fame in her screen debut), he’ll pursue her through a polyester odyssey of tight outfits, insane dance-offs, rival gangs, car chases, J&B, a disco cover version of ‘Satisfaction’ and the big King & Queen of Rock Contest. Fiamma Maglione (EATEN ALIVE!) and pop star Cecilia Buonocore co-star in this defiantly WTF? mash-up directed by Michele Massimo Tarantini (MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY, A MAN CALLED MAGNUM) and featuring wall-to-wall music by Gianfranco Reverberi (THE REINCARNATION OF ISABEL, DELIRIUM), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time ever.

THE WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERE
OF THE COMPLETE VERSION
PLUS BONUS SOUNDTRACK CD
The most infamous Italian Discosploitation film of all is “everything you would imagine such a thing to be” (Dangerous Minds) and then some: In his sole leading role, Guiseppe Spezia stars as clumsy wallflower Gianni who spends his nights at ‘John’s Fever’ hopelessly in love with the club’s beautiful DJ (adult film star/Parliamentarian Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina). But after his friends give him a complete makeover, Gianni becomes a dead-ringer for a certain American movie star who just might win the heart of a disco queen. Massimo Vanni (RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR), Sonia Viviani (NIGHTMARE CITY) and Angelo Infanti (THE GODFATHER) co-star in this “treasure of Travoltasploitation” (Cinetarium) directed by Neri Parenti (FRACCHIA VS. DRACULA) from a screenplay by Giovanni Simonelli (A CAT IN THE BRAIN, JUNGLE RAIDERS) and Oscar® nominee Massimo Franciosa (THE FOUR DAYS OF NAPLES, SPASMO), now scanned in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever with a Bonus Soundtrack CD.
“MIND-BENDING…
A cultural artifact that plays like a feature-length Mentos commercial.
The resemblance to a certain ‘70s icon is uncanny.”

The Music Machine [Blu-ray]
THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE
Immediately after SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER swept the world, the ‘discosploitation’ genre was born. And in the U.K.’s first polyester imitator, director Ian Sharp (THE FINAL OPTION) crafts a gritty time capsule of late ‘70s London in which an unemployed bloke (Gerry Sundquist of DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS) tries to win the big dance competition at Camden Town’s iconic club, The Music Machine. British-Nigerian singer Patti Boulaye, Clarke Peters (The Wire), Ferdy Mayne (THE FEARLES VAMPIRE KILLERS) and Academy Award® winner Brenda Fricker (MY LEFT FOOT) co-star in this “oddly likeable” (The Observer) discomania melodrama written by James Kenelm Clarke (HOUSE ON STRAW HILL) and produced by Brian Smedley-Aston (VAMPYRES) with cinematography by Phil Meheux (CASINO ROYALE), now scanned in 4K from a combination of the CRI and original camera negative for the first time ever.

DISCOMANIA Book Autographed by Alan Jones
"A deliriously dizzy blend of memoir and the wider cultural craziness of the '70s bathhouses, giallo, disco and punk. All that and a Mark Moore introduction
calling Alan Jones out on his woeful customer service skills at Forbidden Planet."
Peter Strickland,
Director of BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO
and THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
What is ostensibly a detailed rundown of the Top 100 Disco Movies Of All Time is also a glorious autobiographical celebration of disco, punk and a trail-blazing career in the genre arena. In this epic 450-page/full-color “courageous and outrageous” (The Guardian) tome, original punk rocker and pioneering horror journalist Alan Jones reveals all about this often-maligned pop enclave as well as his life, loves and scandals in the two musical genres that have marked his extraordinary dance card.
Bonus: Each book contains a signature plate signed by Alan Jones!
