RAW COURAGE 1984 On Blu


    Scorpion has announced the release Robert Rosen's 1984 desert survival take on The Most Dangerous Game for release on Blu-ray for later this year. An HBO cable staple during the 90's, this has been  looong... unavailable on home video, expect for that old VHS release that was a fixture on video rental shelves back in the day. 
   The only director credit for long-time producer Rosen (FRENCH CONNECTION II), it stars Ronny Cox (DELIVERANCE), Art Hindle (THE BROOD) and Tim Maier as a trio of long-distance runners who run afoul of a sadistic M. Emmet Walsh and his militia army who hunt them through a barren and unforgiving Mojave Desert.
   Produced and written by Cox, it sadly has fallen off the radar (not that it was ever on) and is due for a rediscovery, as it's fine action adventure piece that really brings out the hot brutal landscape as the hunted trio spend almost the entire movie running for their lives.
