Let's
get w-i-i-ild! SUPER SOUL BROTHER AND THE FILMS OF RENE MARTINEZ, JR.
collects the anti-dimensional filmography of enigmatic, Miami-based DIY
filmmaker Martinez for the first time on home video. In SUPER SOUL
BROTHER (1978), naive wino Steve ("Wildman" Steve Gallon, PETEY
WHEATSTRAW) is injected with a serum that gives him superhuman strength,
a catch phrase ("I'm w-i-i-ild!"), and a quest to battle the mad
scientists and crooks who made it all possible. THE GUY FROM HARLEM
(1977) finds gritty private investigator Al Connors (Loye Hawkins)
locked in mortal combat with crime kingpin Big Daddy in an explosion of
cocaine, kung-fu, and funk jams. Finally, ROAD OF DEATH (1973) follows
local rockers the Joe Banana Band and friends (including Carol Conners
and Jack Birch, future parents of Thora "GHOST WORLD" Birch) as they
seek revenge against a biker gang for their hideous crimes—complete with
a shocking climax that predicts the final scene in Quentin Tarantino's
DEATH PROOF. Only in Florida.
