Reissues
Sister Street Fighter Collection
The Toei Company decided to build a new karate series around a female lead and cast a young actress who had appeared in a cameo role alongside her mentor Sonny Chiba. Still a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi exploded onscreen in her first leading role and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexualized, a departure from Toei’s typical formula.
Mad Dog and Glory
Robert De Niro teams up with Uma Thurman and Bill Murray in this wildly offbeat love story about a detective who reluctantly receives a gorgeous “thank you” gift named Glory from a gangster.
Kalifornia

Macunaíma
