Lately, we at JoBlo have been championing the collection of physical media in the face of certain movies that have been getting somewhat lost due to extremely limited availability. This is especially an issue for those who partake in a digital collection of movies, which has the potential of disappearing despite purchasing them. However, there are great distributors like Vinegar Syndrome and Arrow Video that have done a fantastic job remastering rare movies for Blu-ray releases. The Mvp Rewind Collection has recently announced that the Albert Pyun action-thriller, Mean Guns, starring Christopher Lambert, Ice-t, Michael Halsey, Deborah Van Valkenburgh and Tina Cote is set for a Blu-ray release on April 9.
The plot description, courtesy of Blu-ray.com, reads,
“The world’s most dangerous criminals are summoned to a new prison on the eve before its grand opening by Moon, the ruthless leader of the world’s most powerful crime syndicate.

Q: Did you know from a young age that you wanted to work in the movie industry?
By: No, I didn’t. Like most kids, I loved movies; and I saw some scary ones at a young age that really disturbed me. That gave me an interest in horror for the rest of my life. But I never imagined that you could actually make a living making movies.

Film review: 'Adrenalin: Fear the Rush'
There's very little daylight in writer-director Albert Pyun's claustrophobic thriller "Adrenalin: Fear the Rush". There's also very little plot and lackluster thrills in the 76-minute film starring Christopher Lambert and Natasha Henstridge.
Set in the futuristic hellhole of Boston in 2007, the Largo Entertainment/Filmwerks production is basically one long and bloody chase. Distributor Legacy Will Chase down a few fistfuls of dinero before "Adrenalin" rushes into video stores.
Henstridge ("Maximum Risk", "Species"), joining the growing club of distaff action-movie leads, plays a cop assigned to track down an infected maniac in the quarantined section of Bean Town. It seems that a plague starting in Eastern Europe has ravaged the world, and the suspect in question has the potential to infect thousands.
The details of the story are so fuzzy that one is uncertain whether the characters are even aware of the stakes involved. Also, what causes the monstrous killer to dismember bodies and eat them is never made clear.
From tunnels to shafts to scaffolds to stairways, the cat-and-mouse games of the film are competently rendered, but one keeps expecting a major turn of events that never comes. Shootouts occur regularly, while the grunts of exertion and howls of pain by the leads are better than bad jokes.
There are glimpses of potential subplots, but the whole of the film concerns the scrambling duo of Henstridge and Lambert, along with assorted expendable comrades, all of whom tiresomely argue and yell at each other when Pyun takes a stab at scenes with dialogue.
