Episode 229: Ripper’s Revenge, Seoul Vibe, Kuttey, Furies, Lackadaisy, Jarhead 3: The Siege

As we had a light slate this week Mike, Rich and Steve decided to take a look at some recent films added to Netflix. As usual, clicking the links below will take you to a trailer for each film... But we start with our only physical release of the week, RIPPER'S REVENGE (High Fliers). Director Steve Lawson is a prolific low-budget film-maker and impressed us with RIPPER UNTOLD and his other films have all been entertaining (The Mummy in particular). Will returning to spin a new tale around the Ripper murders be a success? Check out our review to find out! Set in the lead-up to the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, SEOUL VIBE (Netflix) finds a street-racing gang blackmailed by a well-meaning cop to go undercover as delivery drivers for a notorious loan shark.  KUTTEY (Netflix) is an Indian film about two corrupt cops who find themselves in hot water after being caught trying to assassinate a rival drug dealer and must come up with a more audacious heist in order to pay off the right people. FURIES (Netflix) is a Prequel to Furie (In our review I was Adamant this was a sequel in name only, but i stand corrected!) Veronica Ngo takes over as director and proves to be a force to be  reckoned with both in front and behind the camera. Our Short Shot is LACKADAISY, an animated short about a trio of bootleggers during the prohibition set in New Orleans. Click the link to watch the whole short and please check out the other links on the page. Our DTV Throwback is JARHEAD 3: The SIEGE (Netflix) - Universal 1440 are experts at delivering DTV Sequels to films which had originally received theatrical releases - such as Sniper, The Scorpion King and Death Race. This is directed by William Kaufman and co-stars Scott Adkins, so i need say no more!   Follow the Short Shots TWITTER page, where we will be linking to a short film every day!  Don't forget to also check out our main show, the DTV DIGEST on TWITTER and FACEBOOK!
