    The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing: Long-Distance Motorcycling's Endless Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
    Long-distance motorcycling is not a pastime but an obsession. In this candid, eloquent, sharply observed book, Melissa Holbrook Pierson introduces us to this strange endeavor and the men and women who live to ride impossibly long distances, eating up road, almost without cease. And who find it nothing but fun. Perhaps the most determined of them is John Ryan, a magnetic, enigmatic man who loves nothing better than breaking records of amazing distance - at no small risk to himself and his health. But why? Pierson, who rediscovered the joys of motorcycling in the midst of a personal crisis, puts on her helmet and joins Ryan in his element in order to understand his singular desire and discipline, his passion and his obsession. The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing offers an intimate glimpse of an unusually independent yet supportive community as well as a revealing, unforgettable portrait of its most daring member. In electric, pitch-perfect prose, Pierson gives us rare insights into not only a subculture but also the deeply human craving for something more that drives it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Patch Elkins And Gus Roundtree: The Last Men Standing: A Western: Western Adventure Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
    Welcome to Shady BluffA gang of robbers decides the perfect time to hit a bank is when nearly everyone in town is at the swearing-in of Shady Bluff’s new Sheriff, Arliss “Patch” Elkins.Last Man StandingAn older, more experienced, and determined blacksmith who just arrived in town challenges young Gus Roundtree’s plans to open a blacksmith shop. The trouble is, there’s only enough work for one of them.Tough LoveThe behavior of a kind, elderly widow changes when her son returns from five years at sea. Patch investigates and is ambushed by a gang of vicious outlaws.Timing Is EverythingPatch and Gus run toward a bank robbery in progress, and all hell breaks loose when four more robbers arrive.False FriendsGus’ reluctant efforts to help a love-struck friend lead to humorous and then disastrous results when three brothers out for revenge hatch a vicious plot to kill him and frame his friend.School of HostagesThis tale introduced Patch, Gus, and Helen to the world and inspired all the other stories featuring them. It was published in earlier work; but, as the seminal story for these characters, it seemed fitting to include it in this publication. In this story, they are in supporting roles, but they left such a lasting impression on my fans and me that they deserved stories of their own.In this story, Helen sends a letter to Longshot Hanson, asking him for help when Patch arrests the brother of a gang leader for murdering the mayor during a town council meeting. In a desperate bid to secure his brother’s release, Cord Stoddard and his gang kill the school’s teacher and kidnap the students, including Patch and Helen’s daughter and Gus’ twin sisters. ungekürzt.

    Willie Dynamite
    HE'S TIGHT, TOGETHER, AND MEAN. "The hands-down winner of the all-out best blaxploitation movie of the seventies," declares author and artist Darius James in That's Blaxploitation! Willie Dynamite may not be as well-known as John Shaft, Sweet Sweetback or Super Fly's Youngblood Priest, but he certainly deserves to be. Who is Willie Dynamite? He's the flashiest pimp in New York - he drives a personalised purple-and-gold Cadillac and wears some of the most eye-catching outfits ever seen on a cinema screen. He wants to be number one, but with the police, the D.A., fellow pimps and a tough-talking social worker on his tail, can a man as arrogant and amoral as Willie D avoid a downfall? Willie Dynamite competes with the best of blaxploitation on all levels. Roscoe Orman dominates with his central performance - a star turn that's the equal of Richard Roundtree in Shaft or Pam Grier in Coffy. Multi-award-winning director Gilbert Moses balances action and social commentary as deftly as Gordon Parks, Jr. Did with Super Fly. And the score by J.J. Johnson featuring Motown legend Martha Reeves is as catchy as anything composed by Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield or James Brown.

    Party Line
    Brother and sister Seth and Angelina live a secluded life in their family's beautiful Beverly Hills mansion. But these upper class siblings share a dark and violent hobby of using sexually driven 'party lines' to meet and lure lustful strangers into a deadly ménage à trois, the climax of which is a razor slash to the throat! With the victim count steadily rising, Detective Dan is under the gun to crack the case, but when his girlfriend falls prey to the maniacal duo, Dan goes rogue, taking his own violent measures to dispense justice. Juxtaposing a slasher film setup with police drama and erotic thriller plot points, William Webb's PARTY LINE is a forgotten oddity, bridging the late 80s slasher craze with the soon to rise early 90s 'skinemax' obsession. Starring Leif Garret (Devil Times Five), Shawn Weatherly (Baywatch), Richard Roundtree (Shaft), and Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) and stylishly photographed by renowned visual effects cinematographer, John Huneck (The Terminator), Vinegar Syndrome brings PARTY LINE to Blu-ray for the first time, newly restored in 4k from it's original 35mm negative.

    Shaft / Shaft's Big Score! / Shaft in Africa
    When Harlem P.I. John Shaft first appeared on the movie scene, he was a shut your mouth detective to reckon with, a fact underscored by Isaac Hayes' Oscar winning Best Original Song (1971). Richard Roundtree plays the hard-hitting, street-smart title role in these signature blaxploitation films, hunting for a kidnap victim in Shaft (1971) and seeking a friend's murderer in Shaft's Big Score! Mixing it up with mob thugs each time. Finally, there's Shaft in Africa (He's the Brother Man in the Motherland, proclaimed ads), with our hero bringing down a slavery cartel. Shaft's the name. Excitement's the game!
