This special limited edition spot gloss slipcover (designed by Tom Hodge) is limited to 6,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.
From the weirdest depths of Mexico’s genre cinema scene come two of the most infamous punksploitation classics of the 80’s: INTRÉPIDOS PUNKS and VENGEANCE OF THE PUNKS. Serving up a non-stop feast of brutality topped off with an all-out assault of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the Blu-ray debut of these long-sought-after cult rarities, both newly restored in 4K and presented in their completely uncensored versions.
INTRÉPIDOS PUNKS - After Fiera and her punk cohorts break their leader Tarzan out of prison, no one is safe! The newly reunited gang are quick to resume their favorite pastimes: robbing banks, brokering drug deals, and securing weapons, all while leaving a trail of mutilated corpses in their wake. As the entire countryside becomes caught up in the punk’s lifestyle of debauchery and violence, it's up to federal agents Javier and Marco to track them down before bloodthirsty anarchy becomes the new way of life.
VENGEANCE OF THE PUNKS - The punks are on the prowl again! After another explosive jailbreak, Tarzan and his gang are back on the streets, this time looking to exact revenge on the men responsible for landing them in the slammer. After ambushing federal agent Marco’s party and murdering his entire family, they mistakenly believe that they’ve fully annihilated their enemies. But when it turns out that Marco didn’t die in the ambush, the punks begin to get a taste of their own ruthlessness as Marco tracks them down and kills them one by one…

Reviews
Wild Mexican double bill
"This insane double bill of punks-on-motorbikes from '80s Mexico has never looked and sounded so good. Wild stuff, action, some gore, nudity, rough costumes and craziness in a taut running time (both just under 90 minutes) so they don't outstay their welcome. The artwork is great, though I wished there was a reversible cover."
— Tim V. (5/5)
Punksploitation!
"Glad I finally got around to this and it does not disappoint. Pure punksploitation joy. Brilliant artwork, high quality transfers, slightly sad I didn’t pick up the slipcover but it doesn’t matter too much as the artwork seems similar. Decent amount of extras too, recommended. These films are a lot of fun,"
— Ben C. (4/5)
The 2nd one is pretty good.
"The first one is only half a real movie. The other half is just people partyin' and ridin' bikes. The low quality inserted footage doesn't blend well. The 2nd movie, while not great, is a decent enough exploitation movie that's worth a watch if you're into the "old man gets revenge sub-genre). The retrospective doc was fine."
— Tom M. (3/5)
Intrépidos Punks (1988) is a
"Intrépidos Punks (1988) is a high-energy Mexican exploitation film featuring a chaotic, leather-clad gang engaged in reckless violence, drug-fueled parties, and satanic rituals. While the film delivers a visually arresting, neon-soaked aesthetic and a compelling "trash-culture" vibe, it is hindered by inconsistent pacing and mean-spirited scenes of sexual violence."
— Bart S. (3/5)
Los punks no están muertos
"Both of these were silly mad max rip offs. Featuring gangs of “punks” that look more like extras in a hair metal video. Solid artwork and slipcover as always"
— Matt D. (3/5)

"Rare punksploitation from Mexico. Double feature. Violence and partying."
— Miles M. (5/5)
Mexican fun .
""Both films were very enjoyable, and the sequel is the better of the two. A truly pleasant surprise with a great restoration and beautiful visuals; highly recommended!""
— Daniel B. (4/5)
Punks mexicanos locos
"Chaos, fights, sleaze, drugs, guns, motorbikes and Mexican punk rock. I don't need to tell you twice that this is crazy fun and shit kicking wildness from start to end, but I will tell you that this is crazy fun and shit kicking wildness from start to end. Followed by an equally insane sequel a few years later with much of the same main cast returning… which – no surprise - you get when you pick up this double two fisted presentation of the Los Punks flicks."
— Jason M. (4/5)
