Watch the trailer for Sgt Kabukiman on the link above or directly on YouTube here. Written and directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, the film stars stars Rick Gianasi, Susan Byun and Bill Weeden. Synopsis: A streetwise New York police officer transforms into the world's most unusual superhuman hero.
This re-release of the Sgt Kabukiman film for Liam Regan of Refuse Films features a 1997 VHS cut of the movie in Open Matte upscaled to HD720p along with a1997 Open Matt Directors cut from a Digibeta master, plus a 2015 Widescreen Directors cut in HD. The Blu-ray is scheduled for release as soon as a few more of the many special features and extras from the Troma Films archive. Some of the extras have been upscaled from original NTSC standard def and delivered as HD720p.
There are multiple specials menus with looping music backgrounds and a complex pop-up menu on the main film for chapter navigation as well as changing audio options. Each video film on the Blu-ray has a pop-up menu for ease of navigation and bypass the problem with Blu-ray players not having a real 'back button' like you get on DVD players.
As well as the physical Blu-ray disc authoring, there is a lot of different artwork and data to correlate on the Blu-ray box packaging, inlay and booklet as well as connecting this in the disc menus. All thanks to graphic artist Mila who has worked very hard on this project.
We have provided all the asset encoding and disc authoring for the Blu-ray release plus, testing and Quality Control, subtitle checking and manipulation as the original Troma subtitles needed some work. We will also be doing the final BDCMF conversion for replication and have organised the replication through Sony. Get your copy of the Sgt Kabukiman Blu-ray from Refuse Films online.
