The Executioner 4K UHD + Blu-ray Limited Edition

A ruthless gang of thugs is savaging the streets of Hollywood, murdering, robbing, and assaulting the innocent and helpless. As haggard policeman Roger O'Malley does what he can to stem the violence, a mysterious vigilante appears on the scene, attracting significant media coverage after dramatically dubbing himself "The Executioner." Once this crusader hunts down a wayward criminal, he literally blows them up using his stash of grenades. With mounting pressure from the police commissioner to track down the vigilante, O'Malley begins to suspect that the culprit could be Mike, his Vietnam buddy who saved his life during the war, and who is now a local mechanic suffering manic bouts of PTSD.
From the crazed minds of two of 1980s exploitation's most resourceful outsider artists, director James Bryan (Don't Go in the Woods) and writer/actress Renee Harmon (Frozen Scream), comes the jaw-droppingly strange, accidentally surreal, and now, most baffling 4K UHD debut in history: 1984's THE EXECUTIONER: PART II! Starring cult film legend Aldo Ray (Don't Go Near the Park), and Chris Mitchum (Summertime Killer), along with Renee Harmon herself, this non-stop assault of lo-fi action, absurd dubbing, and jaw-dropping stock footage explosions has been newly restored from its original camera negative and returns to home video from VSA. This release also includes the return of Bryan and Harmon's final theatrical feature, HELL RIDERS (1985), starring Adam West (TV's Batman), and Tina Louise (TV's Gilligan's Island), for an '80s grindhouse double feature you'll never forget.
