There are good movies, there are bad movies, and then there are movies like Dangerous Men. Produced over the course of 26 years by the awesomely named John Rad, this sprawling thriller has earned a steadily growing cult of fans since it was released, and almost completely ignored in 2005. But those who did witness the dangerousness of these particular men never stopped talking about it, and have spent years attempting to resurrect Dangerous Men for an official, wide release.
This year, believe it or not, they succeeded. Dangerous Men will be released in theaters this Friday, November 13th (check the official website for locations and showtimes), followed by a VOD release in December and a home video release in early 2016. And Crave is pleased as hell to help introduce you to the phenomenon, with this exclusive clip from Dangerous Men.
So watch as this liquor store robbery goes awry, and watch as the paper bag is saved, in Dangerous Men. Then seek out the film for yourself to see the rest of the story.
Killers. Perverts. Bikers. DANGEROUS MEN.
In 1979, Iranian filmmaker John Rad moved to the U.S. to shoot his dream project, a rampaging gutter epic of crime, revenge, cop sex and raw power. Just 26 years later, he completed an American action film masterpiece that the world is still barely ready for today: Dangerous Men.
After Mina witnesses her fiancé’s brutal murder by beach thugs, she sets out on a venomous spree to eradicate all human trash from Los Angeles. Armed with a knife, a gun, and an undying rage, she murders her way through the masculine half of the city’s populace. A renegade cop is hot on her heels, a trail that also leads him to the subhuman criminal overlord known as Black Pepper.
It’s a pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, brain-devouring onslaught of ’80s thunder, ’90s lightning, and pure filmmaking daredevilry from another time and/or dimension. Blades flash, blood flows, bullets fly and synthesizers blare as the morgue overflows with the corpses of Dangerous Men.
