CARDONA COLLECTION (1978-84) Vinegar Syndrome, Limited Edition

Description: THE CARDONA COLLECTION This limited edition 3-disc set (designed by Earl Kess) is limited to 6,000 units! Special note: this is Volume #1 of a three part (and world first) expanding box set featuring the films of René Cardona Jr. René Cardona Jr. was the king of Mexican exploitation cinema throughout the 70s and 80s, directing dozens of films in a variety of genres and taking creative inspiration from the most popular trends in American and Italian genre cinema. Vinegar Syndrome presents The Cardona Collection: Volume 1, containing three of his violent, horror tinged adventure and disaster movies, all newly restored from their original negatives. -- TREASURE OF THE AMAZON: Gringo, an American ex-pat driven mad by a failed (and deadly) treasure hunt in the Amazonian rainforest, is encouraged by two novice adventurers to help them recover Gringo’s mythic loot. Setting out on their journey, they cross paths with Klaus von Blantz, a deranged and greedy ex-Nazi, who has launched his own fortune seeking expedition and Clark, another American hunting for oil. As greed and jealousy grows between the competing posses, they discover that their biggest threat isn’t each other, but the ravenous native beasts around them…and some very hungry local tribesmen… A terrifically entertaining and twisted Mexican take on Italian style cannibal and jungle films, René Cardona Jr.’s TREASURE OF THE AMAZON is chock full of all the right ingredients: gratuitous gore (and some imaginatively nasty death scenes), cannibal natives, animal attacks, and a surprise A-list cast featuring Oscar Nominee Stuart Whitman (Night of the Lepus), Donald Pleasance (Halloween), and Golden Globe winner, Bradford Dillman (Piranha) playing along side Eurosleaze film favorites such as Hugo Stiglitz (Nightmare City) and John Ireland (One on Top of the Other).

While at sea, his daughter discovers a strange looking doll floating in the water, to which she takes an immediate liking. No sooner than entering the Bermuda Triangle, increasingly mysterious events start to befall the travelers, as the group begins loosing all sense of time. And it’s not long before various members of the party turn up dead, while the strange doll develops an appetite for fresh flesh… A strange Mexican-Italian co-production that balances adventure and survival film tropes along with touches of supernatural horror and mystery, René Cardona Jr.’s THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE stars two-time Oscar winner, John Huston (Chinatown, Prizzi’s Honor), Italian sex symbol Gloria Guida (To Be Twenty), Euro starlet Claudine Auger (Thunderball), and Mexican exploitation stalwart, Hugo Stiglitz (Survive!).

Stranded and with no way to communicate with land, the days drag on and hunger and hopelessness overtake the group. However, their horror is only beginning as food supplies start to dwindle and the survivors are forced to take unspeakable measures to stay alive, all as carnivorous sea life circles in, seeking fresh blood… An epic disaster thriller made on a shoe-string that slowly morphs into an unsettling tale of survival and desperation, René Cardona Jr.’s cult classic, CYCLONE brings together a remarkable cast, headlined by five time Oscar nominee, Arthur Kennedy (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie), exploitation queen Carroll Baker (Orgasmo, Baby Doll), Spaghetti crime favorite, Lionel Stander (Milan: Caliber 9), and Italian character actress, Olga Karlotos (Fulci’s Zombie).

Is he yours? You are a person of good taste. Yes, that's Albert and he's a handsome gentleman cat of 14 years. He snoozes on my desk while overseeing all eBay activities to ensure I meet his high standards. He is a kind and furry overlord. 2. Will you please hold an item for me until I get paid next week? I'm sorry, but no. I rely on eBay for my income and as such I can't hold items that I could be selling sooner to another buyer. Albert likes high priced cat food and I hate to disappoint him. 3. How soon will you ship my item? I ship the next business day from Monday through Friday. If you purchase an item and pay for it on Tuesday, for example, it will be packaged Tuesday night and sent out with my mail carrier on Wednesday. Items paid for on the weekend will be shipped on Monday. 4. You list a lot of anime. Are you a weeb? Absolutely. 5. I have other questions. Can I ask you something else? Go for it. Just send me a message on eBay and I will reply as soon as I can. Thanks to the pandemic I've got plenty of time on my hands. I work as an actor so I'm definitely not considered an essential worker. I'm more than happy to carry on a conversation about movies, anime, the magnificence of Albert the cat and pretty much anything else that sparks my interest. 6. Do you have something else to say? Yes. Please take care of yourself and your family during this pandemic. I want you all to come through this while being healthy and happy.
