Description

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.

    Great release itself but what a horrible movie

    Before watching this disaster, I honestly had very little idea what Cannon Films was. Well, now I do, and I wish I had remained blissfully ignorant.

    Apparently, Cannon Films spent years flooding the market with an endless stream of cheap, poorly made, utterly ridiculous movies. After watching Invasion U.S.A., I can certainly understand why the studio became synonymous with questionable cinematic quality. This is less a movie and more an endurance test for anyone unfortunate enough to sit through it.

    Everything about this production screams cheap exploitation filmmaking: the ridiculous premise, the laughable dialogue, the wooden performances and action sequences that seem to have been assembled with very little concern for anything resembling quality filmmaking. It's the sort of movie that makes you question how it ever got made, let alone distributed.

    And then there is the studio itself. Learning more about Cannon's history, including the political affiliations of its two owners, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, only reinforced my lack of interest in supporting the company. Given their Zionist affiliations, I have absolutely no desire to seek out or purchase any more releases of films produced by Cannon Films. Not that it probably matters much nowadays, but at least I know which studio to avoid.

    One viewing was more than enough. Consider this my first and last encounter with Cannon Films. What an absolutely miserable introduction.

    But release and packaging are wonderful…

    Chuck Norris, explosions, 4K = 🫡

    VS knocked it out of the park with this 4K release of Invasion U.S.A. Pure entertaining shlock that’s an absolute blast to watch with friends. The restoration looks great, giving this gloriously over-the-top action flick a fresh coat of paint without losing any of its charm. Managed to snag the OOP slipcover during the Labor Day sale, which made the pickup that much sweeter. A fantastic release for fans of 80s action cheese!

    Probably Chuck's best film. Rating

    Probably Chuck's best film. Rating a bit on a curve here but if you generally like Chuck's film, this is a must-own. If not, you can take off a star but it's still an entertaining action film.
