Don't worry, the proceeds don't fund Apartheid anymore
Dolph Lundgren makes stuff go BOOM! in Joseph Zito's boombastic RED SCORPION, now on Blu-ray and DVD from Synapse Films! Release Date: June 12th, 2012.
International built-as-hell action star Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables, Rocky IV) is Lt. Nikolai Rachenko, a Soviet Special Forces “killing machine,” assigned to infiltrate an African rebel uprising and assassinate their anti-Communist leader. Taken into custody and tortured after the mission fails, he stages a harrowing prison escape. Befriended by an African bushman while on the run, Nikolai discovers he was fighting on the wrong side of this violent conflict all along. Nikolai finds the rebel army once more but, this time, he’s on their side and wages bloody war against his former comrades!

Emmet Walsh (Blade Runner, Blood Simple) and the late Brion James (Blade Runner, Southern Comfort), RED SCORPION contains bloody, blasting special effects from the legendary Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Maniac, Friday the 13th). Loaded with interviews and other amazing special features, this disc will blow you away!
