Phoenix,
AZ, July 19, 2009 –While the world awaits the August 21 release of Quentin
Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, midnight movie fans can experience the film
that inspired it when the ‘Midnight Movie Mamacita’ hosts the Phoenix
Theatrical Premiere of Enzo Castellari’s INGLORIOUS
BASTARDS on Friday and Saturday, 8/7 – 8/8 at the MADCAP Theaters in Tempe.
The screenings also celebrate the movie’s 7/28 restored Blu-ray and DVD
releases via Severin Films.....

Castellari’s
1978 international hit remains perhaps the biggest war movie in Euro Cult
history. Action movie icons Bo (WALKING TALL, KILL BILL) Svenson and Fred ‘The Hammer’ Williamson star as the leaders of a gang of
condemned criminals who escape from an Allied prison convoy with a plan to
blast their way to the Swiss border, only to find themselves ‘volunteering’ for
a suicide mission deep inside Nazi occupied France. Academy Award® nominee Ian Bannen
(FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, BRAVEHEART)
co-stars in this explosive action DVD that The
New York Times hails as “anything-goes action…making movies hasn’t been
this much fun for a long time!” Exclusive Bonus Features on the new Blu-ray
disc include include ‘A Conversation With Quentin Tarantino & Enzo
Castellari’, ‘Inglorious Reunion At The New Beverly’, ‘Enzo’s 70th
Birthday Party In L.A.’, the making-of documentary ‘Train Kept A-Rollin’’, an
audio commentary and much more. ....

"If I had known that the original INGLORIOUS
BASTARDS would become a cult classic, I would have read the script more than
once and would not have had as much fun while making the movie," says star
Bo Svenson, who also filmed a surprise cameo in Quentin Tarantino’s BASTERDS.
Enzo Castellari, the Rome-based writer/director hailed as “The ‘70s Italian
Drive-In God” by L.A. Weekly, also
makes a crowd-pleasing appearance in Tarantino’s new film. “To have my movie
become such an inspiration to Quentin is a wonderful acknowledgement of my
career. I
became a director because I loved American movies. With INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS,
that love has now come full circle.” ....
