On February 21st, FUNimation Entertainment will reissue ALIEN VS NINJA (AVN, 2010), this time in a 2 disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack. The filmmakers behind TOKYO GORE POLICE and THE MACHINE GIRL joined studio Sushi Typhoon for their first creation in a line of pure and entertaining cult cinema... a new hybrid of science fiction, horror, comedy and period action film brought to fans by legendary action directors and fight choregraphers Yuji Shimomura (VERSUS, SHINOBI, DEATH TRANCE) and Kensuke Sonomura (MACHINE GIRL, HARD REVENGE MILLY: BLOODY BATTLE), and directed by Seiji Chiba (DEATH TRANCE, EVIL NINJA)! Centuries ago, the fiercest ninjas of the Iga clan face their toughest enemies -- and they aren’t from this planet! A fiery mass crashes in the forest and soon horrifyingly savage creatures reduce the warriors to tasty snacks. But these extraterrestrials have bitten off more than they can chew. Swords and throwing stars may fail against unearthly goons, but ninja skills don’t stop at sharp stuff. If you’re into ARMY OF DARKNESS, you’ll be taking bets over who’ll win this over-the-top battle for survival! Blu-ray/DVD Combo: Region A/1 SRP: $24.98 Street Date: February 21, 2012 Discs: 2 Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Audio: Japanese 5.1 Stereo Surround, English 5.1 Stereo Surround Subtitles: English Rating: TVMA Running Time: 81 Minutes Extra Features: • Making Of ALIEN VS NINJA Featurette • Original Trailer • Previews
