This is a Brand New, factory sealed Blu Ray of the 1985 revenge crime thriller, WALKING THE EDGE, starring Robert Forster. It's the original Blu Ray released by Fun City Editions/Vinegar Syndrome and comes in its original case, still factory sealed. The title recently went out of print and will soon be hard to find. Also comes with a second disc of the film that includes a few seconds of footage omitted from the original release!
Cult movie icons Robert Forster (Medium Cool) and Joe Spinell (Maniac)
star with Nancy Kwan (Flower Drum Song) in Norbert Meisel’s gritty
action drama Walking the Edge. Jason Walk (Forster), a down on his luck
cabbie and numbers runner, has a chance at redemption when he crosses
paths with revenge-seeking Christine Holloway (Kwan). She’s after the
gang of violent criminals, led by Brusstar (Spinell), who her murdered
her husband and son. Jason unwittingly drives Christine to their lair
and when she is unable to finish the job, a hellbent Brusstar and his
goons hunt the pair with a vengeance.
Jason Walk’s cab prowls the
seedier, grimier locales of early ‘80s Los Angeles and picks up
passengers—gamblers, prostitutes and addicts—who match this environment.
As such, Walking the Edge is both a sleazy urban thriller and a
valuable visual record of an L.A. that has long since been scrubbed
clean and redeveloped. And like Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, Jason Walk
is the kind of everyman-turned hero that Forster excelled at playing
throughout his career.
With Edge, director Meisel (Mafia Girls)
teamed with his wife Kwan for the first time. Screenwriter Curt Allen’s
subsequent credits include Forster’s cult favorite Hollywood Harry.
Genre veteran Jay Chattaway (Maniac and Vigilante) provides the film
with a driving and catchy score. The leads are supported by a diverse
cast that includes A Martinez (Powwow Highway), Luis Contreras (Repo
Man), Aarika Wells (Sharky’s Machine) and Frankie Hill (Friday the 13th:
The Final Chapter).
Walking the Edge has been restored in 4K from its original camera negative and now makes it worldwide Blu-ray debut.
