Action Double Feature: 99 and 44/100% Dead/The Nickel Ride DVD (Shout!)
RELEASE DATE: November 22, 2011
Two obscure classics in one package from Shout! 9 and 44/100% Dead is a 1974 action film directed by John Frankenheimer (ever see 1966’s Seconds? No? Shame on you!) and starring Richard Harris as Harry Crown, a stylish professional hit man with a pair of Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistols. Also included is 1974’s The Nickel Ride, a gangster film directed by Robert Mulligan (To Kill a Mockingbird). It was selected by Quentin Tarantino for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Fest in Austin, Texas, 1996. No trailers needed (or found). Trust me on these.
