L.A. Wars [Collector's Edition] (Blu-ray)

A RUTHLESS DRUGLORD AND A POWERFUL MAFIA BOSS BATTLE FOR THE STREETS OF L.A!

L.A. Wars is a no-holds-barred, high-octane slice of 1990s action cinema that delivers everything fans of the direct-to-video era crave--explosive gunfights, martial arts mayhem, double-crosses, and a hero with more firepower than patience. When ruthless drug lord Raul Guzman (Rodrigo Obregón, Hard Ticket to Hawaii) hijacks the Los Angeles cocaine trade from mob boss Carlo Giovani (A.J. Stephans, Baywatch), the city becomes a war zone. Into this chaos steps undercover cop Jake Quinn (Vince Murdocco, Kickboxer II), assigned to protect Giovani's daughter, Carla (Mary E. Zilba, The Real Housewives of Vancouver), while infiltrating the mob from within.

As bullets fly and allegiances crumble, Quinn must battle both Guzman's killers and the mob's own disgraced enforcer, Vinny (Johnny Venokur, Savage Streets), whose lust for revenge threatens to destroy everyone in his path. The result is an unrelenting barrage of shootouts, car chases, and martial arts combat--all captured in the gritty, neon-soaked style that defined 1990s action filmmaking.

This definitive MVD Rewind Collection edition of L.A. Wars marks the film's long-awaited high-definition debut, newly restored in 2K from archival elements and packed with exclusive extras, including interviews, commentary tracks, and collectible packaging. Featuring kickboxing champion Vince Murdocco in peak form and an unforgettable turn from former Miss Ohio and pop singer Mary E. Zilba, the film stands as a wild, unapologetic time capsule of an era when action movies went for broke.

Includes: HD restoration, new audio and video commentaries with producer/director Tony Kandah, interviews, photo gallery, trailer, reversible artwork, and collectible mini poster.

For fans of: Action U.S.A., Angel Town, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, and high-velocity '90s action cinema.
