Reject reality and substitute your own with Arrow Video! In 1983, entrepreneurial producer and director Charles Band founded Empire International Pictures, which would go on to make some of the most memorable and beloved genre movies of the 1980s. Empire became a mainstay of video stores across the world with their catchy titles, outlandish art, and Band's wholehearted belief in giving audiences a good time. In The Dungeonmaster (AKA Ragewar), computer programmer Paul Bradford is sucked into a fantasy world by Mestema, a demonic sorcerer in search of a worthy opponent. Meanwhile, fresh from the one-two punch of Re-Animator and From Beyond, director Stuart Gordon takes a turn toward fairytale gothic in Dolls, in which a group of strangers find themselves forced to seek shelter at the isolated home of an old toymaker and his wife, only to find that the puppets and dolls have a vicious life of their own. In Cellar Dweller, a comic book artist (Jeffrey Combs) with a penchant for the macabre takes inspiration from an ancient tome and unleashes an ancient evil. Arena presents the ultimate fight night event: man vs monster! In the far future of 4038, a short order cook becomes the first human in fifty years to compete in an intergalactic boxing event on the far side of the universe. Finally in Robot Jox, Stuart Gordon directs Empire Pictures' most ambitious movie yet, as men and women pilot giant machines in gladiatorial battle to settle international disputes over territory. Restored for the digital era with a wealth of extras, these films have never looked better. No need for a time machine, these golden age video classics will send you back to the 80s!Product Features Special Edition Contents 2K restorations by Arrow Films from the best available materialsHigh Definition Blu-Ray (1080p) presentations of all five filmsOriginal lossless mono/stereo/5.1 audio optionsOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingSlipcase packaging featuring original artwork by Laurie GreasleyReversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan Sheady Disc One - The Dungeonmaster 2K restoration from the original camera negativeHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of three different versions of the film: the US theatrical version (The Dungeonmaster), the pre-release version (Ragewar), and the international version (Ragewar) available via seamless branchingOriginal lossless mono audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary with star Jeffrey Byron, moderated by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainI Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own, an interview with star Jeffrey ByronTheatrical trailerAlternate trailerImage gallery Disc Two - Dolls 2K restoration from a 35mm interpositiveHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless stereo and 5.1 audio optionsOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary by David DeCoteau, Empire alumnus and friend of Stuart Gordon, moderated by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainArchive audio commentary with director Stuart Gordon and writer Ed NahaArchive audio commentary with cast members Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, Stephen Lee, Carrie Lorraine, and Ian Patrick WilliamsAssembling Dolls, an interview with Lee Percy, editor of Dolls, Re-Animator, and From BeyondToys of Terror: The Making of DollsFilm-to-storyboard comparisonTheatrical trailerAlternate trailerUK home video trailerImage gallery Disc Three - Cellar Dweller High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation featuring additional grading and picture restoration by Arrow FilmsOriginal lossless stereo audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary by special make-up effects artist Michael Deak who inhabited the Cellar Dweller creature suit, moderated by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainGrabbed by the Ghoulies, an appreciation of John Carl Buechler, special make-up effects artist of many Empire Pictures films and director of Cellar Dweller by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainInside the Cellar, an interview with special make-up effects artist Michael Deak about his work on Cellar DwellerOriginal sales sheetOriginal production notesVHS trailerEmpire Pictures trailer reelImage galleries, including behind the scenes photos courtesy of special make-up effects artist Michael Deak Disc Four - Arena 2K restoration from a 35mm printHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless stereo audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary with director Peter Manoogian moderated by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainNot His Arena, an interview with Danny Bilson, co-screenwriter of Arena, Trancers, Zone Troopers, and The RocketeerEmpire of Monsters, an interview with special make-up effects artist Michael DeakTheatrical trailerImage galleries Disc Five - Robot Jox 2K restoration from the original camera negativeHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless stereo audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingArchive audio commentary with director Stuart GordonArchive audio commentary with associate effects director Paul Gentry, mechanical effects artist Mark Rappaport, and stop motion animator Paul JesselCrash and Burn, an interview with actor Gary GrahamHer Name is Athena, an interview with actress Anne-Marie JohnsonThe Scale of Battle: David Allen and the FX of Robot Jox, a documentary appreciation of stop motion animator David Allen by those who knew him, featuring contributions from fellow visual effects practitioners Dennis Muren (Star Wars, Jurassic Park), Yancy Calzada (Evil Dead 2, Starship Troopers), Paul Gentry (Robot Jox, The Fifth Element), and John Vincent (Freaked, Prehysteria)Looking Back, an archival interview with actor Paul KosloSalvaged from the Wreckage, an archive of behind the scenes photos courtesy of associate effects director Paul GentryOriginal sales sheetOriginal production notesTheatrical trailerImage galleries
