Dead Boyz Can't Fly Blu-Ray w/ Limited Edition Slipcover (Vinegar Syndrome Archive [VSA])

Deadbeat amateur artist Buzz shows up at a New York office building in hopes of landing himself a job, but quickly finds himself humiliated by a sleazy employment agent in front of his glamorous new female secretary. When Buzz happens across the same woman later that night, he decides to vent his anger by viciously raping and stabbing her to death. The next day, with the police on the hunt for the woman’s murderer, Buzz convinces fellow goons Jo Jo and sadistic crossdresser Goose to launch an all-out assault on the office building in order to score cash and drugs. No sooner are the trio inside the building than they begin torturing, raping, and slaughtering their way through the terror-stricken office workers, forcing janitor John, a Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD, to launch a counter-offensive against the hoodlums.

The final film by prolific erotic filmmaker Howard Winters, aka Cecil Howard (Firestorm, Star Angel), 1992’s DEAD BOYZ CAN’T FLY is a gritty, blood-soaked throwback to the mean-spiritedness of 70s exploitation movies, based on an original script by Straw Weisman, writer of notorious nasty Fight for Your Life. Blending elements of A Clockwork Orange and The Warriors alongside aspects of Vietnam War-reckoning movies such as Born on the Fourth of July, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is delighted to unleash this underseen shocker on Blu-ray for the first time, freshly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and accompanied by a host of revelatory new cast and crew interviews.
