FRED "THE HAMMER" WILLIAMSON HAMMERS DOWN WITH CODE RED'S OFFICIAL FRED WILLIAMSON COLLECTION!



Tired of seeing The Hammer in crappy full-frame bootlegs taken from edited TV prints with zero extras? Well, The Hammer was tired, too! And The Hammer is ready to take on all those crappy bootlegs! Fred Williamson was happy to show up to give us a candid interview and commentaries for the two films DEATH JOURNEY and MEAN JOHNNY BARROWS. Fred is offering his fans his director's cut versions which contain 10 minutes extra for MEAN JOHNNY BARROWS and 3 minutes extra for DEATH JOURNEY! All uncut and mastered in HiDef from the original camera negatives! 16x9! 2.35:1 scope! Many of you were too young to see these films when Fred released them in the 70's, but now you can see them the way The Hammer wanted you to see them! Same Hammer time, same Hammer label!!
We are planning an September street date for both.

a Mystery Star gives Code Red her first EVER on camera interview as well as an audio commentary for CHEERLEADERS WILD WEEKEND!




We were able to get a mystery star to not only grant us an audio interview/commentary for our upcoming DVD release of CHEERLEADERS WILD WEEKEND, but she also has agreed to give us her first ever on camera interview! We want to thank her from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time out of her busy shcedule to let us know about working with Jackie Chan, Richard Gere, Ryan O'Neal, etc., and also about what she is doing now. We hope you now understand why we waited to release this title. With this in the can, you can expect a summer release!

RIP Peter Shepard


We are saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Shepard whom we last spoke to on the phone on 2/09. He wanted to participate on THE VISITOR DVD once he came back to L.A. from France in May. He had been gracious enough to give us an audio commentary for CHOKE CANYON, and we hope you enjoy the many stories he had about Paola Pasolini, as well as working on 1900, THE VISITOR, PIRANHA 2, and TENTACLES. We would like to pay tribute to him and hope you enjoy his audio commentary for CHOKE CANYON, scheduled for a July release.

Fred Travalena gives Code Red an audio commentary with Scott Spiegel!



Legendary funnyman/impressionist Fred Travalena recorded an audio commentary with cult director/writer Scott Spiegel and Code Red moderator/movie geek Marc Edward Heuck for a slasher/comedy he starred in titled NIGHT OF THE DRIBBLER. The film is about a killer with a basketball head who starts to kill the high school basketball team members! Fred plays four roles in the film, and he had a wonderful time doing impressions with our two moderators! We hope you'll have fun, too, when this makes it's U.S debut the summer of this year.
