Review “I could go on all day about the backhanded virtues of this pastel turkey, but it’s really something you should see for yourself—and there is no better way to see it (well, unless you’re in Israel, really no other way to see it at all) than with this super-loaded Blu-ray from Grindhouse Releasing.” – DVD Verdict “Grindhouse Releasing go a long way towards making up for lost time with their inaugural Blu-ray offering, An American Hippie In Israel. The movie is a genuine cult oddity, a film that languished in obscurity for decades but which nevertheless stands as not only an entertaining low budget B-picture but also a unique foreign time capsule of sorts…On top of that, the disc is stacked with far more extra features relating to the film than should have been humanly possible and the film is offered up in solid shape. A very nice return to form for the label.” – Rock! Shock! Pop! “No matter how you slice it, there’s really nothing else quite like AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISRAEL…Fans of the film who have long fantasized of a Criterion Collection style release need salivate no more – for this, too, is the genuine article. This release is positively stacked with bonus materials…a very in-depth package.” – AV Maniacs

FROM THE SLIMY DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN… NATURE EXPLODES WITH SAVAGE FURY! When Mother Nature rebels against humankind for defying her laws, she strikes back with unbelievable fury creating the largest and most savage crocodile on earth... There is a giant crocodile on the loose! Mutating and getting larger possibly because of an atomic explosion, the crocodile's thirst for blood also grows as it rampages through a small quiet beach town devouring anything in its path. Dr. Akom and Dr. Stromm are on a perfect family vacation, but it takes a tragic turn when three of their loved ones suddenly disappear. When the bodies are found, the two doctors conduct a thorough examination of the remains and discover a killer crocodile is the culprit. Teaming up with Tanaka, a tough and rugged fisherman, Akom and Stromm head out to dangerous open waters to find and destroy the beast once and for all! This killer croc classic, originally filmed in 1978 as Crocodile Fangs (Agowa gongpo), was released in slightly different versions all around the world during its theatrical run. Synapse Films is proud to present the Blu-ray world-premiere of Crocodile in its original U.S. release version, meticulously restored from the original English 35mm camera negative. SPECIAL FEATURES: Audio commentary with film historian Lee Gambin Video interview with original director Won-se Lee Original theatrical trailer Deleted and alternate scenes Newly translated English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
