The Nico Mastorakis Collection [Limited Edition]

On July 30th, Arrow Video presents The Nico Mastorakis Collection in a limited-edition Blu-ray box set. The influential cult film master is back with six films that range from science fiction to Hitchcockian thrillers to comedies and more!

The Time Traveller is a Sci-Fi fantasy that finds a recently widowed astronaut’s wife (Adrienne Barbeau) and son helping a mysterious stranger (Keir Dullea) who has washed ashore on a Greek island. The mother and son soon begin to realize that the stranger is more than he appears. In the thrilling action-comedy Sky High, three college athletes’ vacation takes a terrifying turn when they are handed a mysterious tape that a criminal organization will stop at nothing to obtain. Terminal Exposure brings a touch of Hitchcock, as two photographers accidentally capture a murder on film and pursue the lethal blonde who did the deed. The film features a score by a then-unknown Hans Zimmer. Next up is Glitch!, a screwball comedy that tells the tale of two inept burglars who attempt to throw a party in a Hollywood producer’s luxurious beach house. The party takes a wrong turn when the mob shows up to collect a debt owed them by the producer. In the tradition of Police Academy comes Ninja Academy, a comedy that follows a ragtag group that includes an awkward nerd, a mime, a rich kid, a spy, a survivalist, and two runners who are put to the test as they are trained in the ancient art of ninja! The Naked Truth takes a cue from the Billy Wilder cross-dressing classic Some Like It Hot, with two friends on the run who must dress up as women during a beauty pageant to hide from the mob boss that wants them dead. The only problem – the boss falls for one of them!

Starring Adrienne Barbeau (Escape From New York, The Fog), Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk, Hercules), Billy Barty (The Leprechaun series), M. Emmet Walsh (Raising Arizona), Erik Estrada (C.H.I.P.S.), Bubba Smith (The Police Academy series), Zsa Zsa Gabor (Green Acres), musical legend Little Richard, and more!

The competition heats up as drivers Mike (James Caan, in his first starring role), Ned (John Robert Crawford) and Dan (Skip Ward) all contend with each other on and off the track. Red Line 7000 is a high-octane film that influenced Quentin Tarantino and Francois Truffaut and features early performances by George Takei (Star Trek) and Teri Garr (Mr. Mom).

Set at the height of the Cold War, Russia and the US are forced to join forces to stop the rise of a new nuclear superpower, teaming up their best agents – the CIA’s Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and the KGB’s Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer).
