'Intrepidos Punks' (1987) / 'Vengeance of the Punks' (1987) - Blu-Ray available from Vinegar Syndrome direct - UK$26.48

"From the weirdest depths of Mexico's genre cinema scene come two of the most infamous punksploitation classics of the 80's: INTREPIDOS PUNKS and VENGEANCE OF THE PUNKS. Serving up a non-stop feast of brutality topped off with an all-out assault of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the Blu-ray debut of these long-sought-after cult rarities, both newly restored in 4K and presented in their completely uncensored versions.

INTREPIDOS PUNKS - After Fiera and her punk cohorts break their leader Tarzan out of prison, no one is safe! The newly reunited gang are quick to resume their favorite pastimes: robbing banks, brokering drug deals, and securing weapons, all while leaving a trail of mutilated corpses in their wake. As the entire countryside becomes caught up in the punk's lifestyle of debauchery and violence, it's up to federal agents Javier and Marco to track them down before bloodthirsty anarchy becomes the new way of life.

VENGEANCE OF THE PUNKS - The punks are on the prowl again! After another explosive jailbreak, Tarzan and his gang are back on the streets, this time looking to exact revenge on the men responsible for landing them in the slammer. After ambushing federal agent Marco's party and murdering his entire family, they mistakenly believe that they've fully annihilated their enemies. But when it turns out that Marco didn't die in the ambush, the punks begin to get a taste of their own ruthlessness as Marco tracks them down and kills them one by one?"
