SYNOPSIS

Blu-ray Double Feature!

THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU:
The Wickedest Woman In The World!

Two years before THE GIRL FROM RIO, Shirley Eaton (GOLDFINGER) also starred as Sumuru, a beautiful but deadly woman with plans for world domination. When a couple of wise-cracking, swingin’ secret agents uncover her scheme to eliminate male leaders and replace them with sexy undercover female operatives, they rush to Hong Kong and enlist the local police to stop her all-female army of assassins known as THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU.

Frankie Avalon (MUSCLE BEACH PARTY), George Nader (ROBOT MONSTER), Wilfrid Hyde-White (MY FAIR LADY), Maria Rohm (99 WOMEN), and Klaus Kinski (CRAWLSPACE) co-star in this action-packed spy spoof from producer Harry Alan Towers (THE BLOODY JUDGE) and director Lindsay Shonteff (THE MAN FROM S.E.X.). Now THE MILLION EYE OF SUMURU has been newly remastered in High Definition from the original camera negative for its U.S. home video premiere!

THE GIRL FROM RIO:
A Carnivale Of Sex, Violence And Outrageous Style From Jess Franco!

In the tradition of BARBARELLA and DANGER: DIABOLIK comes this swinging ’60s action orgy as bisexual super-villain Sumuru (the luscious Shirley Eaton of GOLDFINGER) launches a diabolical plan to enslave the male species with her army of lusty warrior women. But when Sumuru kidnaps a fugitive American playboy, she crosses a sadistic crime boss (Academy Award winner George Sanders of ALL ABOUT EVE and VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED) and ignites a battle of the sexes that will bring Brazil to its knees in more ways than one.

Richard Wyler (THE BOUNTY KILLER) and Maria Rohm (EUGENIE) co-star in this kinky cult favorite from producer Harry Alan Towers (THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU) and director Jess Franco (VENUS IN FURS). Also known as RIO 70, FUTURE WOMEN and THE SEVEN SECRETS OF SUMURU, THE GIRL FROM RIO is now presented in a brand-new HD transfer, totally uncut and uncensored with all its eye-popping nudity, torture and lesbianism fully restored from the original camera negative!
