Synopsis

"This very effective thriller features a chilling performance by Rutger Hauer as the emotionless killing machine." – TV Guide's Movie Guide

Sylvester Stallone and Rutger Hauer star in this riveting story of suspense and intrigue that starts in London, continues in Paris and reaches its chilling conclusion on the streets of New York.

When Europe's most feared terrorist (Hauer – The Hitcher) explosively announces his presence in Manhattan, two elite undercover cops (Stallone and Billy Dee Williams) are assigned to stop him before he strikes again. But the ruthless terrorist has other plans for the city - and the detectives.

This edge-of-your-seat thriller, directed by Bruce Malmuth (Hard to Kill), also stars Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman), Persis Khambatta (Star Trek: The Motion Picture), Nigel Davenport (The Island of Dr. Moreau) and Joe Spinell (Maniac).

I'd love for Shout to unearth the original version from the vaults, or try to restore some of the alleged MPAA cuts (especially those during the climax). Seems highly unlikely but this is surely the best chance we're going to get. Even presenting them as deleted scenes would be something.

Excellent news!!

[lilboyblu]

Another great announcement. Awesome!

Agreed on the OST point too. I dumped the DVD shortly after purchase specifically due to the reworked soundtrack.

I really hope it's not the same quality with the German BLuray.

Love this movie. Will definitely have to pick it up.

[PipesDonatello]

Please dear God include "I'm A Man" on the soundtrack!

[PowellPressburger]

Please let the soundtrack be intact! and if they can get that original CUT!

[Markgway]

AWESOME NEWS!!!!

I don't do Facebook, so if anyone from Shout is reading this, please can we have....

1. The X-rated version (six shots NOT two!).
2. The original mono soundtrack with correct songs ('I'm a Man', 'Brown Sugar')
3. The deleted scenes that appeared in the TV version as an extra (apparently there's a ton of stuff that didn't make it into the final cut that even Stallone would like to see revisited).
4. Stallone audio commentary (he really likes this film, AFAIK, and might be up for it).

Thank-you, Thank-you, THANK-YOU!!!

Good start. Any chance at all of including the cut footage Cliff, either as part of an alternative version of the film or as deleted scenes? I'd love to see the more violent ending restored, if nothing else.

[klauswhereareyou]

Looking forward to purchasing this. One of the more underrated Stallone movies.

Good news.
