• Die Hard 2: Die Harder | DVD | (10/01/2000) from £5.95   |  Saving you £15.30 (326.23%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Director Renny Harlin (Cutthroat Island) took the reins of this 1990 sequel, which places Bruce Willis's New York City cop character in harm's way again with a gaggle of terrorists. This time, Willis awaits his wife's arrival at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, when he gets wind of a plot to blow up the facility. Noisy, overbearing and forgettable, the film has none of the purity of its predecessor's simple story; and it makes a huge miscalculation in allowing a terrible tragedy to occur rather than stretch out the tension. Where Die Hard set new precedents in action movies, Die Hard 2 is just an anything-goes spectacle. -- Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Cosa Nostra: Franco Nero in Three Mafia Tales by Damiano Damiani | Blu Ray | (24/07/2023) from £24.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The most American of directors according to celebrated critic Paolo Mereghetti, Damiano Damiani (A Bullet for the General) nevertheless surveyed his own country's mafia history unlike anyone before him, to critical and box office success. Three such classic films are collected in this Blu-ray box set, presented from new restorations. The Day of the Owl stars Franco Nero as a police chief who, while investigating the death of a construction worker, goes up against corrupt officials and a ruthless mafia boss (Lee J. Cobb). Adapted from the celebrated novel by Leonardo Sciascia (Illustrious Corpses, Todo Modo), The Day of the Owl was the first book to openly deal with organised crime in Sicily. A prestigious production, it was in the running for best film at the Berlin Film Festival and found wins at home in the David di Donatello Awards for Claudia Cardinale, Nero, Damiani, and Best Production. Nero portrays a simple man thrown in jail for a misdemeanour in The Case is Closed: Forget It. Inside, he sees the grim reality of life behind bars, where the mafia controls everything. A powerful production with Nero in top form and supported by a strong cast including Riccardo Cucciolla (Rabid Dogs) and John Steiner (Tenebrae), the intensity of Damiani's film places it among the finest prison dramas. Presented in Italian and for the first time with the original English dub. In How to Kill a Judge, Nero plays filmmaker Giacomo Solaris, whose latest film features a judge corrupted by the mafia and who is later found murdered. The real judge the character is based on seizes the footage, but is later killed in the same way. Feeling a degree of responsibility, Solaris investigates, but as the assassinations increase around him, will he reach the source of the conspiracy? Full of twists and a fascinating meta-commentary on cinema, Damiani points the camera at himself and the genre as he investigates the social impact of mafia violence, a fitting end to this survey of Damiani's Cosa Nostra.

• A Quiet Place in the Country | Blu Ray | (08/12/2025) from £16.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Leonardo (Franco Nero, The Day of the Owl) is a celebrated artist plagued by nightmares which stop him from completing his work. His agent and sometime lover, Flavia (Vanessa Redgrave, The Devils), encourages him to relax, so he buys a country villa. Once there he begins tracing the story of the previous owner while Flavia's presence in the house seems to awaken something as she encounters one mysterious accident after another. Part ghost story, part meditation on the creative process told through the excesses of the 1960s. Elio Petri (The Working Class Goes to Heaven) brilliantly fuses these ideas in ways that are at times shocking, yet thought-provoking in their investigation of art, sex and madness, set to an eerie score by Ennio Morricone.BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-Definition digital transfer, presented with optional English and Italian audio tracksUncompressed mono PCM audioNew interview on the film by author Stephen ThrowerArchival interview with actor Franco NeroInterview with make-up artist Pierantonio MecacciSelect-scene commentary by critic and filmmaker Kat Ellinger on the theme of masculinity in the film and Petri's workTrailerNew and improved English subtitle translation for Italian audio and English SDH for English audio

• The Fifth Cord | Blu Ray | (04/02/2019) from £25.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The success of Dario Argento s The Bird with the Crystal Plumage ushered in a host of imitators, seeking to capitalise on this new, modern take on the giallo thriller. Many were highly derivative, but a number nonetheless rose above the crowd thanks to skilful execution and a willingness to experiment stylistically. Once such example is The Fifth Cord ¬ which, in the hands of director Luigi Bazzoni (The Possessed, Footprints on the Moon), turns a conventional premise into a visually stunning exploration of alienation and isolation. When a man barely survives a brutal assault en route home from a New Year s party, washed-up, whisky-swilling journalist Andrea Bild (Franco Nero, Django) is assigned to report on the case. Before long, the maniac strikes again, this time with fatal results. As the body count rises, Andrea falls under suspicion himself, making it even more imperative that he crack the case. His only clue lies in a series of black gloves found at the location of every attack, each with a finger cut off... Adapted from a novel by David McDonald Devine, The Fifth Cord boasts a complex, Agatha Christie-esque plot, outstanding cinematography courtesy of future Oscar-winner Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and supporting appearances by a raft of genre stalwarts, including Silvia Monti (A Lizard in a Woman s Skin), Edmund Purdom (Nightmare City) and Rossella Falk (Sleepless). Debuting here in high definition, arguably the most visually stunning giallo ever made now shines like never before.

  Sergio Corbucci's ground-breaking DJANGO is one of the greatest and most influential Westerns ever. Seminal, yet banned for decades, its aesthetics of visual cruelty transcended the genre and shaped today's film-making language. Its major influence is declared by Quentin Tarantino - among many Hollywood directors - and seen in his all films . Django, played by the legendary Franco Nero, is the mysterious lone gunslinger who, dragging a coffin behind him, arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town where he'll face two ruthless gangs of sadistic killers. Presented uncut, from new 4K-restored elements, this definitive version is pristinely faithful to the original filmmakers' vision; as attested by Ruggero Deodato (of Cannibal Holocaust fame) who shot several scenes of DJANGO as the then-Assistant to Corbucci. Product Features BONUS FEATURE: DJANGO & DJANGO 80 min with QUENTIN TARANTINO A riveting feature-length testimonial by Quentin Tarantino complements this edition: showing many clips, he explains how Sergio Corbucci's 'Django' permeates his own films from 'Reservoir Dogs' to his resounding tribute 'Django Unchained'. And whimsically Tarantino tells how, in his 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood', his fictional actor, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, ends up working for the real Sergio Corbucci.

• Keoma | Blu Ray | (28/04/2025) from £17.63   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  KEOMA's creators - Italian director Enzo G. Castellari and its star, legendary actor Franco Nero - are icons to Quentin Tarantino, who famously called Castellari 'My Master' when reimagining his 'Inglorious Bastards' (even inviting him for a cameo). Equally a devoted fan of Nero - who rose to fame as the original anti-hero Django - Tarantino also gave him a scene-stealing appearance in his tribute, 'Django Unchained'. Keoma's bold visual style - marked by Castellari's extravagant slow-motion, dynamic camera work, and operatic violence -left a lasting mark on Tarantino's filmography, revealing how deeply these Italian trendsetters shaped one of Hollywood's most influential directors. Screen-legend Franco Nero reprises his relentless deadly gunslinger persona, now as the eponymous Keoma who, returning to his hometown, finds it ruled by a gang of sadistic killers. With the help of his old friend (a superb Woody Strode), Keoma unleashes a brutal and bloody war against the ruthless bunch in a bitter showdown where only one man will be left standing. This gritty, no-holds-barred western classic is now presented from 2K restored vault materials, finally showcasing its iconic set pieces and striking action cinematography like never before.

Castellari - whom he famously called 'My Master' - often cites ˜Keoma' as one of his favorite spaghetti westerns.

The Spaghetti Western Database: one of the most unusual and visually striking spaghetti westerns ever made a masterpiece of the genre. Cinephilia & Beyond commend Castellari's direction and the film's willingness to tackle deeper issues like racism, family, and redemption: haunting and poetic western
