Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCult movie icons Robert Forster (Medium Cool) and Joe Spinell (Maniac) star with Nancy Kwan (Flower Drum Song) in Norbert Meisel’s gritty action drama Walking the Edge. Jason Walk (Forster), a down on his luck cabbie and numbers runner, has a chance at redemption when he crosses paths with revenge-seeking Christine Holloway (Kwan). She’s after the gang of violent criminals, led by Brusstar (Spinell), who her murdered her husband and son. Jason unwittingly drives Christine to their lair and when she is unable to finish the job, a hellbent Brusstar and his goons hunt the pair with a vengeance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJason Walk’s cab prowls the seedier, grimier locales of early ‘80s Los Angeles and picks up passengers—gamblers, prostitutes and addicts—who match this environment. As such, Walking the Edge is both a sleazy urban thriller and a valuable visual record of an L.A. that has long since been scrubbed clean and redeveloped. And like Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, Jason Walk is the kind of everyman-turned hero that Forster excelled at playing throughout his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Edge, director Meisel (Mafia Girls) teamed with his wife Kwan for the first time. Screenwriter Curt Allen’s subsequent credits include Forster’s cult favorite Hollywood Harry. Genre veteran Jay Chattaway (Maniac and Vigilante) provides the film with a driving and catchy score. The leads are supported by a diverse cast that includes A Martinez (Powwow Highway), Luis Contreras (Repo Man), Aarika Wells (Sharky’s Machine) and Frankie Hill (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalking the Edge has been restored in 4K from its original camera negative and now makes it worldwide Blu-ray debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Norbert Meisel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003estarring: Robert Forster, Nancy Kwan, Joe Spinell, A Martinez, Aarika Wells, Wayne Woodson, James McIntire, Russ Courtney\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1983 \/ 94 min \/ 1.85:1 \/ English Mono\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional info:\u003cbr\u003e• Region Free Blu-ray\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• New 4K restoration from its 35mm original camera negative\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• “Scoring the Edge,” a new video interview with composer Jay Chattaway\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• “Det.
