From the Toy Robot press release:
On
December 8, the hard-edged, neo-noir thriller,
Sharky's Machine, makes its worldwide 4K UHD debut.
Burt Reynolds directed and starred in this critically acclaimed vice squad blockbuster. The new Dual Format release features both a 4K UHD and Blu-ray disc, with the film presented on both discs in a new 4K scan and restoration from the original camera negative, along with special features.
Sgt. Tom Sharky (
Burt Reynolds,
Smokey and the Bandit) gets demoted from narcotics to the vice squad in the Atlanta police headquarters' basement. His new assignment finds him cruising parks and busting prostitutes and johns, a far cry from the high-stakes narcotics cases he's accustomed to. Things get interesting when he begins wiretapping the high-class hookers working for the city's most powerful pimp, uncovering phone calls between Dominoe (
Rachel Ward,
Against All Odds) and a candidate for governor (
Earl Holliman,
Police Woman). Sharky becomes increasingly obsessed with the seductive Dominoe while maintaining surveillance on her luxury apartment, but powerful forces on both sides of the law want his investigation shut down. Powering the all-star lineup are
Charles Durning (
O Brother, Where Art Thou?),
Brian Keith (
The Parent Trap),
Bernie Casey (
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) and
Henry Silva (
Above the Law).
Special features include a new 4K scan of the original camera negative in a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; brand-new interviews with screenwriter
Gerald Di Pego, actor/stuntman
