  Arrow Video brings Andrew Davis' 90s action classic UNDER SIEGE (1992) to 4K UHD, featuring Steven Seagal as "just a cook" on a nuclear-laden battleship taken over by baddies, who must put down the spatula and pick up anything that's handy to slice and dice his way to victory at sea.

The new transfer is the best the film has ever looked, and fun and insightful extras keep interest afloat until the last anecdote is fired.

  THE IDIOT BOX is back, and Severin Films has it! Alex Winter and Tom Stern's outrageous and subversive 1991 MTV sketch comedy series is finally available on home video, looking great and tickling (and occasionally breaking) ribs once more, with fun extras that dig into the creation of this long-lost (and fondly remembered) bit of cathode ray anarchy.

  Eureka Entertainment delivers three times the Sammo with TRIPLE THREAT: THREE FILMS WITH SAMMO HUNG, featuring three lesser-known Golden Harvest films from one of the icons of Hong Kong action cinema. In THE MANCHU BOXER (1974), Sammo has the smallest role of the three films on the set, as a thug hired by a Kung Fu master with poor sportsmanship ideals, who hires Mr. Hung and another thug to take out contestants in a rural martial arts tournament. Old-school Kung Fu with some nice choreography by Sammo. In PAPER MARRIAGE (1988), Sammo co-stars with Maggie Cheung as an average Hong Kong guy, living in the U.S. (really Canada), who agrees to a sham Green Card marriage with Maggie in order to make some money that will allow him to avoid a beating by debt collectors and not have to fall back on his skills as an underground kickboxer. Pleasant mismatched romantic comedy that saves the majority of its action for a wild last 10 minutes, set in a giant mall with a pirate ship and waters...
