StudioCanal Cult Classics (Extreme Prejudice, High Crime, More)

[CelestialAgent]

DVDCompare notes that the export version of High Crime has “various trims, including five minutes of the climax changing the fate of certain characters” - so likely only English dub as well.

Kill Them All and Come Back Alone retains the Alex Cox commentary from the Kino BD (also happening with the German BD of The Hellbenders), but adds some new extras. Though the Wild East DVD and Koch BD had a 43 minute interview with Giovanni Cianfriglia/Ken Wood (can’t remember if the interview is in English or Italian).

Odd that Extreme Prejudice doesn’t have the 57 minute interview with Hill from the French Make My Day! Blu (also released by StudioCanal), or the 39 minute one from the Optimum DVD. Though it does have the newly produced extras from the Vestron release. I think Imprint might be releasing it in Australia too.

Two of these are from the Jean-Baptiste Thoret branded Make My Day! collection. Other American and Italian titles in that series include Mandingo, Near Dark, Max mon amour, The Day of the Owl, Il maestro di Vigevano, Nickelodeon, The Moment of Truth, Honky Tonk Freeway, Cold Sweat, Vice Squad, Someone Behind the Door, Silver Bears, Miracle à l'italienne/Le Futur est Femme, One Potato Two Potato, Frances, Le Conseiller/Napoli spara!, The Black Marble, In nome della legge, Angelina, Tender Mercies

Yeah I think Walter Chaw let slip he was working on both Extreme Prejudice and Johnny Handsome for Imprint (therefore hoping the latter comes from Indicator or StudioCanal soon). And yes, you're right it's odd they don't include extras from the French BD but maybe this was an agreement with Vestron/Lionsgate to have two identical releases for the English market? Similar to Arrow apparently doing Running Out of Time 1&2 for the US with MoC covering the UK (and Arrow having done similar things before, e.g. To Live and Die in L.A.).
