Promotional Material

101 Films presents Abel Ferraras iconic neo-noir Bad Lieutenant (1992), released on 4K UHD in the UK for the first time. Driven by a career best performance by the legendary Harvey Keitel as the titular Lieutenant, Abel Ferraras unfiltered tale of self-destruction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption shocked audiences and critics alike with its uncompromising depiction of crime in New Yorks seedy underbelly. In a career full of provocative filmmaking, the notorious Bad Lieutenant stands alone as Ferraras most incendiary and certainly his finest piece of work.

For twenty years, he has ruled the streets--gambling, stealing, using, killing. A corrupt, drug-addicted New York City cop spirals deeper into vice while investigating the brutal assault of a young nun. As the case forces him to confront his own sins, he walks the line of self-destruction and the elusive promise of redemption.

The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse

The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse is a 1972 West Germany / Spain crime Sci-Fi horror by Jesús Franco (as Jess Frank)
Starring Fred Williams,Jack Taylor,Ewa Strömberg IMDb

There are no censorship issues with this release.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

Promotional Material

A criminal mastermind (Jack Taylor, Female Vampire) deploys poison gas and a beautiful whip-wielding assassin (Beni Cardoso) in a plot to steal government secrets in The Vengeance of Dr Mabuse (Dr. M schlägt zu). But his elaborate schemes risk unraveling when a small-town inspector (Fred Williams) stumbles into the scene. An unauthorized entry in the Dr. Mabuse cycle, the film makes no reference to Norbert Jacquess clairvoyant criminal (the M-word is carefully avoided). Instead, director Jess Franco used the project as a chance to revisit his own sci-fi thrillers (The Awful Dr. Orlof, The Diabolical Dr. Z). Fold in a disfigured henchman (Rocha), a striptease dancer (Ewa Strömberg, Vampyros Lesbos), and wrap it all in a feverish jazz score, and the result is a spicy cinematic melange that could only have been concocted in the demented mind of Jess Franco.

The Beast and the Vixens

The Beast and the Vixens is a 1974 US comedy horror by Ray Nadeau
Starring Jacqueline Giroux, Uschi Digard and Marius Mazmanian IMDb

Produced with 2 significantly different versions, a horror version titled The Beast and the Vixens, and a sex version titled The Beauties and the Beast. Later a composite version was assembled.

Summary Notes

Girls in a nudist camp are terrorized by an Abominable Snowman-type beast.

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
  • 2025 Dark Force Entertainment Composite Version (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 19th August 2025

Promotional Material

It's retro Drive-In mania at it's finest with this rare 1974 exploitation flick The Beast and the Vixens (also known as 'Desperately Seeking Yeti' and originally titled 'The Beauties and the Beast').

Shot on location in Big Bear Lake in California, "The Beast and the Vixens" is a fun filled romp about Bigfoot-like beast terrorizes women in the woods as criminals and hippies clash in this wild blend of sex, horror, and 1970s sexploitation.

This adult Drive-In cult classic had two versions released including an X-rated one showing off countless nude women including Swedish bombshell Uschi Digard (remembered from Russ Meyer's CHERRY, HARRY & RACHEL)! The Beast/Yeti creature is straight out of B-MOVIELAND and bears a striking resemblance to the Gargantuas in the Japanese monster classic WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS.

With only a prior VHS release, the original negative for this picture had been long lost, however Dark Force Entertainment located the only surviving 35mm prints (with some extra reels from the shorter adult film version) and completed a new 2K scan of the original horror version with added soft core scenes for the first time ever Hi-Def Blu-ray release of THE BEAST AND THE VIXENS.

Anita: Swedish Nymphet

Anita: Swedish Nymphet is a 1973 Sweden / France erotic drama by Torgny Wickman.
Starring Christina Lindberg and Stellan Skarsgård and Danièle Vlaminck. BBFC link 2020  IMDb

BBFC cuts were required for X rated cinema release in 1974 and then again for 18 rated VHS in 1987. The film was BBFC 18 rated for 2008 DVD without BBFC cuts. The film exists in 3 versions, the original Swedish version, a French version and reportedly a US version with hardcore inserts. The film was once banned in Norway and New Zealand.

Summary Reviews: Cult Star

Cult star Christina Lindberg stars as Anita, a 16-year-old girl (played by a 22-year-old) who has to have sex and it doesn't matter with who. She picks up lawyers, junkies, little boys, drunks or even the homeless. Her sexual behavior gets her kicked out of towns but one day she meets a doctor who thinks he can help her. Lindberg certainly deserves her cult status. She's certainly easy on the eyes but unlike a lot of erotic stars, she can also act and she brings a lot life to her character.

This Swedish picture is rather strange because it's certainly a sexploitation title and the main goal is for the beautiful Lindberg to get naked every chance she gets but the overall tone of the movie is so serious that it's hard to have fun with the film.

The two versions of this film differ considerably; the french version has a logical plot evolution and is more sleazy than the Swedish version. The latter if more moral in tone and has an unlogical plot evolution; it also has less sex(y) scenes. In the Swedish version, the plot line of the young students forming a classical music group is more elaborated (and dull). The french version focuses more on the nymphmaniac addiction.

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
  • 2025 Klubb Super 8 Standard Edition [Swedish Version + French Version] (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 26th August 2025

Promotional Material

Christina Lindberg (Thriller - A Cruel Picture) is ANITA, a teenage nymphomaniac who feels compelled to seduce every man she meets; students, hippies, businessmen and bums. After being rescued from a particularly dirty old man by a psychology student Erik (played by a young Stellan Skarsgård decades before he starred in Hollywood films like Pirates of the Caribbean, and also played a very similar character in Lars von Triers Nymphomaniac), he attempts to uncover the causes of Anitas aberrant behavior.

Directed by one of Swedens most significant sexploitation filmmakers, Torgny Wickman (The Language of Love), this cult classic uses a serious study of nymphomania as a pretext for scorching eroticism. Presented in a new 4K restoration of its original Swedish version as well as a new 2K scan of Les impures, the French theatrical version, a different edit featuring an abundance of exclusive sex and nudity!

The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back. And this time shes not alone. The original creative team behind that phenomenon--led by horror titans James Wan for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and director Gerard Johnstone--reboot an all-new wild chapter in A.I. mayhem with M3GAN 2.0. Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GANs creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemmas niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemmas overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelias self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.

Dollman: Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson - Trancers) is a traveller from outer space who is forced to land on Earth. Though regular sized on his home planet, he is doll-sized here on Earth, as are the enemy forces who have landed as well. While Brick enlists the help of an impoverished girl and her son, the bad guys enlist the help of a local gang. When word leaks out to his location all hell breaks loose. Brick is besieged by an onslaught of curious kids, angry gang members, and his own doll-sized enemies. Now he must protect the family who has helped him and get off the planet alive.

Demonic Toys: Theyre cute and cuddly by day, lethal demons by night. Ruthless killing machines come out alive for just one purpose...death. And for five adults in an abandoned warehouse, every childs worst nightmare has become a deadly reality. While on a stakeout, Judith Gray (Tracy Scoggins), a beautiful, tough cop, is trapped inside a warehouse full of toys. But these are no ordinary playthings - they have been awakened to murderous life by a strange child of darkness, The Kid (Daniel Cerny). Each toy feeds on blood: Jack Attack heads straight for the throat, Grizzly Teddy is not afraid to show its claws, and Baby Oopsie Daily is truly to die for. Now its up to Gray and a passing delivery boy, Mark Wayne (Bentley Mitchum), to stop the Demonic Toys!

Dollman Vs Demonic Toys: All is not well in Toyland! When undercover cop Judith Gray (Tracy Scoggins, reprising her original role) discovers the murderous Demonic Toys have returned to the Toyland warehouse, she has only one thought in mind: destroy the hideous playthings at all costs. But she needs help. She turns to the only man on Earth who can measure up to these toy chest terrors, Brick Bardo aka Dollman (Tim Thomerson). Joined by his girlfriend, the equally diminutive Ginger (reduced to 11 inches in Bad Channels), future cop Bardo teams with Judith to battle the mutant toys. Now Bardo must fight to save his life and his love as Baby Oopsie develops a large 'crush' on the luscious Ginger...

Sorcerer

Sorcerer is a 1977 US/Mexico adventure thriller by William Friedkin

Promotional Material

A hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognized decades later as one of the boldest auteur statements of the New Hollywood. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives-a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)-take on a seemingly doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension-conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.
