80s Hollywood Crime Flick Vice Squad Makes Its Blu-Ray Debut This Summer

Hollywood, cops, hookers and killer pimps! Director Gary Sherman's 1982 "neon-slime" cult classic Vice Squad is finally coming to Blu-ray this summer! News of this had been leaked previously in some circles earlier this year, but this week Scream Factory made it official. For fans of Savage Streets, 10 to Midnight or Class of 1984, this is a must have.

Season Hubley (Hardcore) stars as Princess, a single mom by day, a Hollywood prostitute by night. A volatile cop, Tom Walsh (Gary Swanson, The Guardian) uses her to trap a sadistic pimp named Ramrod (Wings Hauser, Mutant), who murdered one of her friends. But when Ramrod escapes police custody, Princess is in grave danger. No matter which way she turns, Ramrod is coming for her. Walsh and the entire police force are out looking to catch him. Tonight, the neon slime will be on full display and the city of Los Angeles will explode with furious vengeance and violence.
