From the 88 Films press release:
On July 22nd, 88 Films proudly presents the North American Blu-ray debut of the Japanese motorcycle cult classic, Detonation! Violent Riders, in a limited edition featuring a high-definition transfer packed with bonus content.
Iwaki (Kôichi Iwaki, The Doberman Cop) is a motorcycle mechanic with a fierce dream to become a professional racer. He gets a bit distracted when he falls for the lovely Michiko (Tomoko Ai, Terror of Mechagodzilla). While she is sweet, her brother Tsugami (Sonny Chiba, The Streetfighter, Kill Bill: Vol. 1& 2) has a bit of a temper and does not approve of her dating Iwaki. Making things worse is the leader of the outlaw Red Rose Gang (Yusuke Natsu, Stray Cat Rock: Wild Jumbo), who also has his eyes on Michiko. Iwaki might be stomped into a speed bump before he gets a chance to take a checkered flag. Detonation! Violent Riders was directed by the legendary Teruo Ishii (Horrors of Malformed Men, Shogun’s Joy of Torture).
The Limited Edition Blu-ray’s special features include an individually numbered OBI Strip, a limited edition booklet, an audio commentary by Ashley Darrow and Jonathan Greenaway of The Horror Vanguard podcast, a brand new video essay by Nathan Stuart, a trailer, and a still gallery.
A Japanese biker movie from the 70s, in a nice collector's package.
There is a trailer on YouTube for this one, but it includes nudity, so you'll have to search for it.
