In 1994, 4 years before he would direct Blade, Stephen Norrington made his directorial debut with Death Machine. Since its release the film has been fairly hard to track down in any physical format (it is available digitally on the likes of iTunes), but that’s all changed thanks to Turbine Classics out of Germany who have now made the film available on a massive combo pack that includes DVD, Blu-ray and the film’s soundtrack on CD. After all these years you can finally understand why Wesley Snipes was quoted as saying, “Death Machine is one of my all-time favorites!”
As you can see from the picture below this set looks to be an absolute beauty. It’s definitely been high on my wish and I’m so glad that it’s finally here. Anyone else eager to pick this bad boy up?
