The Nick Millard Action Collection w/SLIP

After a hefty career making oddball erotica, followed by the brain-melting one-two punch of the horror classics Criminally Insane and Satan’s Black Wedding, director Nick Millard helmed an increasingly bizarre series of low-budget action thrillers, combining his trademarks of stolen international locales, sureally mismatched footage, demented dialogue, and some of the fastest-cut shootouts in cinema history. Welcome to THE NICK MILLARD ACTION COLLECTION. Presented here are all five of Millard’s shot-on-film action, thriller, and caper features, newly restored from their original negatives and featuring a new documentary on the life and films of Nick Millard.

.357 MAGNUM (1977, 68 minutes) – Millard’s action debut follows assassin John Hightower as he attempts to take down a rival hitman who has gone on an unhinged rampage. Fearing that he’s not up to the task, he enlists the help of his mentor to train him to become the ultimate killing machine.
