One of the most outrageous and unforgettable cult classics of 1980s schlock cinema, the gross-out horror-comedy Street Trash comes to DVD next month as a special two-disc edition, not only completely restored and totally uncut, but also loaded with over two hours of extra features including a brand new, exclusive to the UK interview with actress Jane Arakawa (who plays Wendy in the movie) plus a comprehensive, feature-length look back at the making of the film through the eyes of the creative talents responsible for bringing this insane gore-fest to the screen.
As with all Arrow releases the DVD comes with a reversible sleeve that gives fans the choice of displaying the movie’s original UK rental video artwork or a newly commissioned piece of oil painting artwork, plus a poster of the same.
Prepare to witness a molten hobo holocaust as the homeless denizens of New York City’s skid row and its nearby junkyards fall foul to the irresistible taste of Tenafly Viper, an alcoholic delight that brings a whole new meaning to the term “gut rot”. When a local liquor store owner discovers a case of out-of-date Viper in his basement, little does he know that selling it off cheap to the bums who frequent his store will have the devastating effect of turning those who even sip the brew into a exploding and melting, Day-Glo masses of liquefied flesh and bone. And a lot of them want to sip it!
Directed by Michael J. Muro (Crash, Titanic, Heat and Terminator 2) and co-written by Muro and Roy Frumkes (Document Of The Dead), Street Trash is a movie that plays fast and loose with graphically exploding tramps, opportunistic necrophilia and a random game of ‘catch’ in which one unfortunate desperately tries to retrieve his severed penis, if you like your movies gory and sleazy you need to look no further than Street Trash.
Special Features will include:
- “The Meltdown Memoirs” feature
- UK exclusive interview with Jane Arakawa (Wendy).
The two-disc Street Trash will be released on DVD by Arrow Video on 11th January 2010.
