STUDIOCANAL presents the brand-new restorations of two classics from legendary director Enzo G Castellari (The Inglorious Bastards) – the stunning Poliziotteschi crime thriller HIGH CRIME (1973), starring Franco Nero (Django) and said to have been inspired by Bullitt; and iconic Spaghetti Western KILL THEM ALL AND COME BACK ALONE (1968), starring Chuck Connors (Branded). And a new release of the superb action thriller EXTREME PREJUDICE starring Nick Nolte (48 Hours) and Powers Boothe (Southern Comfort), directed by Walter Hill (The Warriors). Available to buy on Blu-ray for the first time and on DVD and Digital from 6th June 2022.

In HIGH CRIME, Vice-Commissioner Belli (Nero), the assistant chief inspector in Genoa, is investigating a series of crimes committed by a drug-running gang. He approaches the apparently reformed old-fashioned gangster Cafiero (Fernando Rey) for information on the gang, not knowing that Cafiero plans to take care of them himself. When Belli’s boss is murdered, he takes over as Commissioner and fights on, hoping for a chance to avenge his boss and take down the underworld organisation.
