Pre-order Wandering Ginza Butterfly Collection here

On April 7, Tokyo’s vice-filled underworld explodes as the Wandering Ginza Butterfly Collection makes its North American debut on Blu-ray. Both Wandering Ginza Butterfly and She-Cat Gambler star the iconic Meiko Kaji, who dominated ‘70s Japanese cinema in the Female Prisoner Scorpion and Lady Snowblood film series. The limited edition release includes High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of both films, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras. 

Nami “The Red Cherry Blossom” Higuchi (Meiko Kaji, Blind Woman's Curse) is a fearless drifter moving through a world of gamblers, hustlers, and ruthless killers. In Wandering Ginza Butterfly, Nami is released from prison after killing a Yakuza member and heads straight for Tokyo’s dangerous Ginza district in search of a fresh start. She reconnects with local pimp Ryuji (Tsunehiko Watase, Sailor Suit and Machine Gun), who sets her up with a hostess job, and she quickly becomes a favorite among the club’s clientele. But when mobster Owada (Koji Nanbara, G.I. Samurai) attempts to seize control of the bar, Nami proves she is more than capable of defending her turf, wielding a pool cue and anything else within reach to make sure his takeover fails.

In Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: She-Cat Gambler, Nami returns to Ginza on a personal mission to find her father’s killer. After freeing a young woman forced into prostitution to settle her father’s debts, she once again draws the ire of the Yakuza. This time she teams with well-meaning pimp Ryuji (Sonny Chiba, The Street Fighter), and together they stand against the criminal underworld, determined to drive them out of the district.

Special features include the original lossless Japanese mono audio for both films; optional newly translated English subtitles for both films; a brand new audio commentary for Wandering Ginza Butterfly; an archival audio commentary for Wandering Ginza Butterfly; a brand new interview on Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: She-Cat Gambler with Patrick Macias and Matt Alt; an archival interview with director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi; an archival appreciation of star Meiko Kaji; original trailers for both films; and a collectors’ booklet.

Also on April 28, the science fiction action-filled Soldier touches down for a world premiere on 4K UHD. What happens when the ultimate army fighter is harshly retired? The limited edition release features a brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films approved by director Paul W.S. Anderson, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras. 

Sergeant Todd (Kurt Russell, Big Trouble In Little China) was raised from birth to be a merciless, emotionless killing machine for the military. The decorated soldier fought around the world and galaxy for decades, only to face his biggest battle at home. A unit of genetically engineered super soldiers arrives at Todd’s headquarters. Captain Church (Gary Busey, Point Break) pits Todd and his best men against the new breed, including Caine (Jason Scott Lee, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) and led by Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). The brutal competition doesn’t end well for the veterans. Todd’s busted-up body is dropped on a waste disposal planet, where he finds a group of peaceful scavengers living among the scrap heaps who teach him what it’s like to be social and act human. The inner growth comes to an abrupt end when Todd’s old captain drops by so the new troops can engage in live target practice. Soldier is filled with exciting stunts scenes from action impresario Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat & Resident Evil). The movie also stars Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers), Michael Chiklis (The Shield), and Wyatt Russell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters).
