Description
When Major Charles Rane (William Devane, Marathon Man, The Dark Knight Rises) returns home to San Antonio, Texas, he is given a hero’s welcome. He and his friend John Vohden (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive) had endured eight years of physical and mental torture in a POW camp.

The adjustment to his old life isn’t going to be easy. His wife, Janet, has fallen in love with another man, and his son doesn’t remember him.

The publicity he receives as a returning hero and the cash he’s been awarded has attracted the attention of a group of hoodlums. When the group kills Rane’s wife and son and leaves him for dead, he and Vohden team up to hunt them down.

Directed by John Flynn (The Outfit, Lock Up) and written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) and Heywood Gould (Fort Apache, The Bronx), Rolling Thunder is one of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite films. He named his home video company, Rolling Thunder Pictures after the film.

Matt89 · 01-24-2024, 07:14 PM

now this one is more up my alley... cool!

stigdu · 01-24-2024, 07:22 PM

Watched this a couple of months ago after hearing Tarantino will be re-imagining the final shootout in the hotel for his final film The Movie Critic.

Great film. Seems to barely meet its 18 rating here in the UK, mind.

CreasyBear · 01-24-2024, 07:26 PM

Hell yeah.

nicwood · 01-24-2024, 07:37 PM

OMG how wonderful. Hopefully they’ll get Paul Schrader for an interview.

grahams76 · 01-24-2024, 08:10 PM

For me, this is the best announcement from anyone in a while.

Especially if he takes Ambien before it.

He was already interviewed alongside Jones and Devane for the making of included on the prior blu-ray from Shout.

Nice - still have the DVD. Gonna be a nice upgrade.

notops · 01-24-2024, 10:59 PM

Hopefully Shout doesn't screw up the audio on this one. But even if they do, I'll still happily buy it. I'm learning to love the rope
