Kino Lorber releases Rustlers' Rhapsody on Blu-ray featuring a new 4K restoration and commentary
Rustlers' Rhapsody (1985), directed by Hugh Wilson, arrives on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber on June 24. Starring Tom Berenger, G.W. Bailey, Marilu Henner, Fernando Rey, and Andy Griffith, this 40th anniversary edition presents a comedic take on classic Western tropes.
The film follows Rex O'Herlihan, an over-the-top singing cowboy, who rides into a dusty town to confront outlaws with charm and wit. It playfully subverts the familiar B-movie Western formula, highlighted by Rex’s white attire and his dancing horse Wildflower.
This Blu-ray includes a new 4K restoration sourced from the original camera negative, ensuring high-quality visuals faithful to the original print. Audio options include 5.1 surround sound and lossless 2.0 audio, accompanied by optional English SDH subtitles.
Special features comprise a brand-new audio commentary by Heath Holland, host of the Cereal at Midnight podcast, alongside Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition, adding insightful perspectives on the film's production and legacy. Also included is the original theatrical trailer.
The release from Kino Lorber offers an engaging package for fans of Western comedies and collectors seeking a technically enhanced edition of this cult classic.
