Independent distributor Future Video has informed us that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Gary L. Keady's Sons of Steel (1988), starring Rob Hartley, Roz Wason, Jeff Duff, Ralph Cotterill, Mark Hembrow, and Dagmar Bláhová. The release will be available for purchase on October 5.

Label description: The heavy metal futuristic action-packed adventure Sons of Steel is set in 21st century Sydney, Australia. Black Alice, rock star and man of peace, is trapped by the fascist government and accidentally transported into the future to witness the results of nuclear devastation.

Available for the first time in North America in this restored and remastered release from a 2K scan of the surviving 35mm elements, Sons of Steel is the lost sci-fi, time-traveling post-apocalyptic Ozploitation musical you'll never forget!

Never heard of it but I like supporting Makeflix and this sounds great! Also ordered a couple other DVDs to go along with the order: Girl From Bikini Trilogy, Christine Nguyen Sci-Fi Double Feature and The Christine Nguyen Collection.

Can anyone add Future Video's earlier release THE ZOMBIE ARMY to the database?

RE: SONS OF STEEL

Has anyone got the disc? Is it pressed or burned? The website of Future Video says it‘s a MOD-25 disc, but other sources (e.g. screenanarchy.com) claim that it‘s a pressed disc.

The edition is limited to 1500 and I wonder why they would do that if it‘s indeed made/burned on demand. Maybe Future Video uses the term „MOD“ like Warner Archives does.

Also, Future Video say their disc is in the OAR of 1:1,33 - but it rather looks like an open matte presentation to me.

Since I‘m not in the business of buying burned discs I‘d like to have clarification from a reliable source before I pull the trigger.

I figured out how to add a Blu-Ray Release to the Database and I submitted it for approval. Hopefully it will show up in a day or two.

I bought the blu-ray and the LP on Vinegar Syndrome's online store. The short film Knightmare is pure genius work. Mixing Heavy Metal, post-Nuke and cricket! That also made me realize I didn't know early Aussie Heavy Metal scene. I know a few recent old-school HM bands like Johnny Touch or all those bands from Tasmania, the two big 80s Thrash band (Mortal Sin, Hobbs Angel of Death), and obviously some extreme metal gems (Slaughter Lord, Sadistik Exekution, Bestial Warlust, the black thrash scene).
