Details

This listing is for the standard edition 4k UDH/Blu-ray Combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Vlad Rodriguez) was limited to 8,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Matt Hunter thought he had put his fighting days behind him when he retired from the C.I.A., preferring to live in the serene solitude of the Florida Everglades. But when notorious Soviet terrorist Mikhail Rostov decides to exact revenge against Matt, this one-man-army has no choice but to dust off his martial arts skills and face off, Uzis in hand, against his deadliest enemy. However, as Matt tries to remain one step ahead, the insidiously evil Rostov begins deploying bands of guerrilla fighters across the state to terrorize innocent civilians and force Matt out into the open and compel him to face off for one final, bloody showdown.  

An action tour-de-force from director Joseph Zito (The Prowler, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) and one of the key films in helping establish Chuck Norris (who co-authored the screenplay with James Bruner) as an action superstar, INVASION U.S.A. was also one of the first true blockbusters from 80s genre film legends Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus’ Cannon Films. Co-starring Richard Lynch (The Sword and the Sorcerer), Melissa Prophet (Goodfellas, Casino), and Billy Drago (The Untouchables), this epic feat of non-stop stunt work and incredible action setpieces comes to 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored for this release from its 35mm original camera negative and ready for retribution with a staggering supply of new and archival bonus materials.

Reviews

Dumb Macho Fun

"3. 5 stars. With all the scenes of random people being murdered, it’s almost like a horror film. Of course, once Chuck Norris shows up it becomes a super macho action movie where he can single handedly defeat an army, and does stuff like stopping a school bus full of kids from getting blown up. The plot and writing are terrible, but Chuck is pretty iconic in it, and it has a great final act (the way it ends is amazing. )"

Henning H. (5/5)

Deeply stupid, but entertaining

"Not Chuck Norris' acting high point (that would be Code of Silence), but still an entertaining film. 4k lookss spectacular."

Patrick H. (3/5)

Chucks most violent grindhouse film

"This is truly an incredable 4 k remaster. . and if you've never seen the film. . one of the most violent ones ever made. Not a martial arts film. . hard-core violence. . and a film that when it cameout put all. of america on edge. . Just like the original. RIP Norris. . . there's a new sheriff in heaven"

Misti I. (5/5)

"One of my favorite Chuck Norris movies. It's exactly what you think it is - evil Communists invade the US and only one man can stop them. And Chuck mowes them Commies down with his Double Uzis like there's no tomorrow. Kick ass 80s action at its finest. I already own a good UK Blu-ray of this film, so I haven't cracked open my VS release of it. I'm sure though that they did a phenomenal job with the 4K transfer and the new special features. The new slip artwork is great and fits the tone of the movie. A must have for all fans of 80s action flicks and Canon productions in particular!"

Dominik F. (5/5)

The man, the myth, the beard, the denim

"The man, the myth, the denim, the beard. . the legend. Next to Delta Force, this is as pure uncut 80s Norris as you'll ever find. As usual, the transfer sparkles and the package as a whole is epic."

Falkenberg K. (5/5)

Chuck Norris Classic!!!

"Chuck Norris takes on all the terrorists in this 80's action classic. The simple plot, over the top action and Chuck Norris are a perfect combo. The picture and audio quality are excellent. A+ Rating."
