Fans of outrageous cult cinema, get ready for Jess Franco’s long-unavailable 1969 psychedelic spy romp Girl From Rio coming to 4K and Blu-ray for the first time ever on September 26th thanks to Blue Underground.
This kinky action-comedy follows bisexual supervillain Sumuru, played by Goldfinger’s Shirley Eaton, and her army of scantily clad warrior women who plot to enslave the male species from their Brazilian stronghold. But when they kidnap an American playboy, Sumuru incurs the wrath of a sadistic mob boss, igniting an anything-goes battle of the sexes.
With its Carnivalesque visuals, sexual liberation vibe, and outrageous characters, Girl From Rio (also known as Rio 70, Future Women and The Seven Secrets of Sumuru) represents Franco operating in peak schlocky ’60s cult mode. Fans can finally revisit this long-unavailable gem fully uncut and uncensored.
Blue Underground presents Girl From Rio sourced from a brand new 4K restoration of the original camera negative. Loaded with extras like interviews and additional scenes, it arrives on 4K and Blu-ray September 26th in a limited edition embossed slipcover.
