Available as a Standard Edition or a Limited Edition Slipcase Edition, the 1990 Troma film gets a 4K Ultra HD upgrade from Vinegar Syndrome, […]
“From Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz, creators of The Toxic Avenger, comes a different kind of superhero. Mixing high-stakes action, spectacular car stunts, monstrous mutants, and Troma’s signature style of madcap gore and hilarious hijinx, this outrageous late-night TV and video store classic features a who’s who of cult stars.
“Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this colorful live-action comic book on 4K UHD, newly restored from its 35mm camera negative and presented in its totally uncensored director’s cut as well as its more commonly seen alternate PG-13 version, and featuring an abundance of both new and archival interviews and BTS material.”
Special Features include:
“When rookie New York City policeman Harry Griswold ends up in the middle of a shootout while attending an evening of kabuki theater, his attempt to save the life of a critically injured performer yields unintended consequences. The dying man bestows his supernatural powers onto Harry, thus rendering him “The Chosen One.” Suddenly finding himself sprouting paper umbrellas and covered in face paint, the formerly clumsy cop is transformed into a crime-fighting superstar, with the help and training of Lotus, daughter of the deceased actor. But Harry’s new gifts also come with a fresh calling as he learns that he alone has the power to defeat the ancient “Evil One” and foil his diabolical plans for bloodthirsty world domination.”
Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D is also coming to Screambox on August 15.
