Mean Guns: Christopher Lambert and Ice-T action-thriller from Albert Pyun is getting a new Collector’s Edition Blu-ray

Last Updated on January 12, 2024

Lately, we at JoBlo have been championing the collection of physical media in the face of certain movies that have been getting somewhat lost due to extremely limited availability. This is especially an issue for those who partake in a digital collection of movies, which has the potential of disappearing despite purchasing them. However, there are great distributors like Vinegar Syndrome and Arrow Video that have done a fantastic job remastering rare movies for Blu-ray releases. The MVP Rewind Collection has recently announced that the Albert Pyun action-thriller, Mean Guns, starring Christopher Lambert, Ice-T, Michael Halsey, Deborah Van Valkenburgh and Tina Cote is set for a Blu-ray release on April 9.

The plot description, courtesy of Blu-ray.com, reads,
“The world’s most dangerous criminals are summoned to a new prison on the eve before its grand opening by Moon (Ice-T, New Jack City), the ruthless leader of the world’s most powerful crime syndicate. Chaos ensues when weapons and ammunition are passed around and the group, including Lou (Christopher Lambert, Highlander), begin their fight to survive. The last three men standing by midnight have been promised $10,000,000 in cash by Moon, who watches from his surveillance camera as gunfire and bodies fly. Rivalries develop between friends and the lines of loyalty are crossed as each criminal attempts to outwit, outrun and outlive the other in the action packed game of elimination.”

The special features and technical specs are set to include:

• High-definition transfer in the original 2.39:1 aspect ratio
• NEW Interview with Producer Gary Schmoeller (HD, 28:57)
• NEW Interview with Executive Producer Paul Rosenblum (HD, 23:41)
• NEW Interview with Composer Anthony Riparetti (HD, 18:31)

• Original Theatrical Trailer
• Audio: LPCM 2.0 Stereo
• Optional English, Spanish and French Subtitles
• Reversible artwork
• Collectible Mini-Poster

We’ve made references to some of Christopher Lambert’s films of the past and it seems that his B-movie filmography is having a tough time finding life in new generations of home video. Now that Mean Guns is getting this nice treatment, perhaps there is hope for some of his other films like Gunmen with Mario Van Peebles and the sci-fi dystopian film, Fortress.
