Bookwalter followed up his ambitious debut feature &#8216;The Dead Next Door&#8217; with this dark thriller about a comic book artist who dons the persona of his most famous superhero character to battle a gang wreaking havoc upon a small town. Out of print since the original VHS release from Cinema Home Video, &#8216;Robot Ninja&#8217; remains a popular cult title with collectors nearly three decades later.<\/p>\n<p>For this one-of-a-kind release, Tempe Digital has assembled three unrated versions of the film, two created from a brand-new 2K restoration using the recently discovered 16mm A\/B roll cut negative film elements. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film&#8217;s home video debut next year, collectors and fans will now be able to enjoy the movie in 1080p HD 4:3 original aspect ratio or 16:9 widescreen, alongside the standard-definition master used for the original VHS release.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring Blu-ray, DVD, and original soundtrack CD discs, &#8216;Robot Ninja&#8217; Ultimate Edition also includes a bevy of all-new bonus features, including a completely remastered 5.1 surround mix, audio commentaries, cast &amp; crew interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/b3f327351e5b5211b7d033e27\/images\/e1cbac73-c67e-4c53-99d8-3bc2a5867b0b.jpg?w=344&#038;ssl=1\"  align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The release is capped off with reversible artwork and a full-color booklet including behind-the-scenes photos and comprehensive liner notes. The set is available bundled with a variety of optional perks including a comic book adaptation, limited edition VHS, reversible theatrical poster, books containing the original screenplay and artwork created for the film, and a Vimeo Digital HD copy which can be streamed to televisions, smartphones, tablets, and other devices worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The first 500 units of &#8216;Robot Ninja&#8217; Ultimate Edition Blu-ray include an exclusive slipcover; 1,000 numbered and signed editions will be produced for the 60-day Indiegogo campaign.
