Hop On For a Look at Arrow's KnightridersWith UK cult and genre champions Arrow Video dropping their brand new and restored edition of George Romero’s offbeat classic Knightriders on DVD and Blu-ray today, we’ve got a quick look at what fans can expect from this feature-laden package. Joust your way in here, squire!

From the Press Release:

Starring up-and-coming actor Ed Harris in his first ever leading role (Harris would go on to become a major Hollywood star, nominated for Academy Awards and Golden Globes for his roles in Apollo 13 and The Truman Show), Knightriders depicts a troupe of traveling medieval entertainers, led by Harris, trying to live their lives according to the ideals of King Arthur – No easy feat in Reagan’s America, where the outside world and its financial realities constantly encroach on their dreams.

Instead of flesh and bone, the trusty steeds on which these Knights ride are made of steel and engine! They have traded the horses of King Arthur’s men for motorcycles.

With the self-adopted title of “King William”, the group’s leader Billy (played by Harris) becomes gradually more unstable, as he blurs the lines between the medieval knight his act portrays, and the realities of everyday life in the 20th century.

With a memorably eccentric cast of characters (including make-up effects genius Tom Savini in a major role and a cameo from novelist Stephen King) and a complex, nuanced script, Knightriders is Romero’s warmest and most personal film to date.

This new edition from Arrow Video includes the following:

  • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentations.
  • Uncompressed original Mono 2.0 PCM audio.
  • Optional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
  • Audio commentary with George Romero, Tom Savini, John Amplas and Christine Romero.
  • ‘The Genesis of a Legend’ – Star Ed Harris remembers his first leading role.
  • ‘A Date with Destiny’ – Co-star Tom Savini reflects on the film.
  • ‘Medieval Maiden’ – Interview with actress Patricia Tallman.
  • Theatrical Trailer.
  • TV Spots.
  • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Nat Marsh.
  • Collector’s booklet featuring brand new writing on the film by author and critic Brad Stevens, an archival interview with Romero, and a new interview with composer Donald Rubinstein, illustrated with original archive stills and posters.

    Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe
    Ep. 348 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 2”
    Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.

    Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe
    Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”
    Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what type of pants Kim needs for this one.Writer/Dir.
