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…

"2 absolutely crazy films. . . I enjoyed them way more than I should have! Hard to describe - both silly and fun and brutal all at once. Great transfers, interesting extras. Absolutely bonkers. Both films are quite different too despite being made in the same year with the same writers. Took off 1 star for the rape, which was unnecessary and unpleasant. But otherwise would have been a 5 star!"
"Double feature of a couple of notorious Mexican films that probably won't win any prizes, but are nevertheless a lot of fun. The first plays like demented biker exploitation, though I enjoyed the sequel more, which has more than a hint of Death Wish about it (right down to the Bronson-esque protagonist). In all, it's solid value for money if you're looking for something a little different. Great art, too."
"I adored the first movie, its gritty and punk and that masked guy is oddly familiar. . . that's Fantasma! And that is a beautifully restored martinete! The second movie. . . its not as good but still pretty fun. Its a Mexican Death Wish, albeit with an awful final scene that undermines the rest of the film."
"Very fun violent flicks, but besides a little of the aesthetic, there's nothing much punk about these. I think Vengeance is the stronger movie, with a great performance by the cop"
"Sort of like Class of Nuke 'Em High, Mexican style. I loved the characters of Tarzan and the Groucho Marx look-alike. Great fun!"
"A couple of fun trashy movies that provide a good evening's worth of entertainment. Glad I picked this up. I did prefer the 2nd film a bit more, but both were entertaining. If you are looking for a sleazy and turn your brain off kind of fun, that you cannot go wrong with picking this up. BTW - Is it me, or does the lead villain look like he is wearing a disco ball on his head. He must be a lot of fun at dance parties,"
"The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"Title says it all - these are for fans of Mexican film, gratuitous violence, and rape. The theme song is seriously catchy!"
"I was a self-professed member of the cult following of these films and was elated to see this definitive copy finally released. Not only an excellent restoration/transfer of each but also a 'making of' doc each too. Despite the plot being only a trail of mayhem, all the way through these films have an undeniable charm that is central to why it's finally made it's way here. I dare you not to sing along with opening theme. :)"
"A cult phenomenon from south of the border. Silly, gritty, sleazy and fun. The "Intrépidos Punks!!" theme song will not dislodge itself from my brain."
