101 Films have this week announced that in 2022 they are bringing the American Genre Film Archive (Agfa) line-up to the UK. This ongoing partnership will see a steady slate of some of the weirdest and wildest films ever committed to celluloid released on Blu-ray and across digital platforms for the first time on this side of the Atlantic.
The first releases in the range will be the sleazy and terrifying Effects (1980) and exploitation legend Renee Harmon’s Lady Street Fighter (1981), both releasing on 10th January 2022 on Blu-ray and digital. Each film benefits from a recent 2K or 4K scan from original source materials and extensive extras, while the first run of each title will come with a Limited Edition ‘O-ring’ sleeve.

Stars: Christopher Mitchum, Aldo Ray, Antoine John Mottet, Renee Harmon, Dan Bradley, Jim Dratfield, Sandra Sterling | Written by Renee Harmon | Directed by James Bryan
For years I, and many others, believed that James Bryan’s The Executioner Part II was one of those “hilarious” movies – like Leonard Part 6 and Surf II – that posits that it is a sequel, only it’s a sequel to a non-existent movie! Turns out that is Not the case here… Bryan’s film is in fact an in-name-only sequel to the 1970 George Peppard film The Executioner. How do I know this? Well it’s all thanks to the fascinating interview with James Bryan found on the new Blu-ray of the film from Vinegar Syndrome off-shoot Exploitation.TV – released as part of the Indiegogo campaign for the companies VOD service.
Hailed as one of the craziest, and most incomprehensible action movies Ever, The Executioner Part II is just that.

Director James Bryan (of Don’t Go in the Woods fame) has brought us a movie that opens with a scene of a topless woman tied to a table, shrieking like an old lady as a shirtless guy whips the table with a stick (missing the actress, of course), while old-timey saloon music plays in the background.
Oh God, I hope this thing holds up.
This is a James Bryan movie, ain’t it? Those cuts! Those lines! Those dubs! Holy cow! It’s not hard to spot Renee Harmon in this mess. She’s the lady who did Frozen Scream (Monsieur Bryan was part of that, too), she of the intangibly wonderful (Eastern European?) accent that makes you want to laugh, to cry, to scream until you can’t take it anymore. She is fabulous. “I-i ahm just a bawd mawn, Ronul,” she says. “What?” we whisper, not wanting to offend her.
