The three films in Italian director Antonio Margheriti’s “Indiana Jonesploitation” trilogy as well as a collection from exploitation director Andy Milligan are among the titles due April 28 on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD disc from Severin Films and MVD Entertainment Group.

Gutter Auteur: The Lost Legacy of Andy Milligan is a three-disc tribute to the filmmaker available on Blu-ray Disc. A pioneering outsider who clawed his way from the depths of 1960s underground filmmaking to the grindhouse gutters of 42nd Street, Andy Milligan remains, as Artforum called him, “The Fassbinder of 42nd Street” — a volatile, visionary auteur whose work defied convention and decency alike. This Severin Films collection assembles an array of newly unearthed and restored material, including two features long thought lost: The Degenerates (1967), a post-nuclear nightmare rediscovered in a Brussels vault, and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! (1968), a searing psychodrama recovered from an Amsterdam archive. Both have been restored from their only surviving film elements. Also included is the acclaimed 2025 documentary The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan. Directed by Josh Johnson and Grayson Tyler Johnson, it captures the chaos, creativity, and pain of a filmmaker whose work was as personal as it was perverse. The set goes even deeper with two rarely seen projects — the early short Compass Rose and 1979’s gothic curio House of Seven Belles — alongside more than five hours of special features. Among the extensive extras are “Team Degenerate,” a Tribeca Film Festival Q&A with directors Johnson and Johnson, author Jimmy McDonough (The Ghastly One), and Milligan collaborators Hope Stansbury, Natalie Rogers, Ken Lane, and John Borske; deleted scenes and trailers from The Degenerate; a feature-length audio commentary on The Degenerates with Milligan expert Alex DiSanto; the archival 1975 audio interview between Milligan and author Stéphane Bourgoin; and multiple new interviews with actors, scholars, and historians including Stephen Thrower (Nightmare USA). Other highlights include Two Weeks in Woodstock with actress Laura Cunningham; Magic Time! with Peter Ratray; Dove and Divine with Natalie Rogers; Licentious Lunacy with Alex DiSanto; and Thrower’s multi-part analyses of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me!, House of Seven Belles, and Compass Rose.

The first film in Italian maestro Antonio Margheriti’s (Castle of Blood, The Virgin of Nuremberg) “Indiana Jonesploitation Trilogy,” The Hunters of the Golden Cobra (1982), is available on Blu-ray Disc for the first time in North America and on 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time worldwide. The film stars David Warbeck (The Beyond) and John Steiner (Night of the Sharks) as a cocky pair of WWII adventurers blasting their way through deadly traps, double-crosses and daring escapes in search of a supernatural relic known as the Golden Cobra. Almanta Suska (The New York Ripper) and Luciano Pigozzi (Strike Commando) co-star in the film, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with more than an hour of new and archival special features, including “The Path of the Cobra,” an interview with assistant director Edoardo Margheriti; “Bloodline of the Cobra,” an interview with second camera assistant Davide Mancori; the 1996 Festival of Fantastic Films Award presentation and Q&A with David Warbeck; a video essay by Rob Hill, author of The Bad Movie Bible; and the trailer.

For his follow-up to The Hunters of the Golden Cobra, director Antonio Margheriti puts a Bondian spin on “Indiana Jonesploitation” for an Italian/Turkish co-production, The Ark of the Sun God (1984), available on Blu-ray Disc and on 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time ever in North America. David Warbeck (The Beyond) stars as a master burglar recruited by a wealthy collector (John Steiner of Tenebre) to raid a mountaintop temple and steal the mythical Scepter of Gilgamesh. But first, this suave safecracker will have to survive car chases, kidnappings, elaborate traps and an ancient curse that promises to destroy anyone who dares to breach the golden tomb. Luciano Pigozzi (Alien From the Deep) co-stars in the film, newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with an hour of new and archival special features plus a bonus soundtrack CD. Special features include “Second Unit Chronicles,” an interview with assistant director Edoardo Margheriti; “Raiders of the Sun God,” an interview with writer Giovanni Paolucci; “Antonio Margheriti Recalls David Warbeck”; and the trailer.

For the final film in his “Indiana Jonesploitation Trilogy,” director Antonio Margheriti unleashed Jungle Raiders (1985), a jungle adventure that became a VHS-era favorite, available on Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time ever. Christopher Connelly (Raiders of Atlantis) stars as a cynical safari guide who leads gullible millionaires on bogus treasure hunts in Malaysia. But when a crafty U.S. government operative (Lee Van Cleef) blackmails him into finding the mythic Ruby of Gloom, they battle death cults, double-crosses, unstable volcanoes and exploding refineries to snatch the jewel from maniacal pirates. Marina Costa (The Final Executioner) and Luciano Pigozzi (Double Target) co-star this action hit originally released in America by Cannon Films, newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative. Special features include “The Ruby Trail,” an interview with assistant director Edoardo Margheriti and the trailer.

From writer/director Hark Bohm, co-founder of the 1970s German New Wave collective Filmverlag der Autoren with Wim Wenders and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, comes North Sea Is Death Sea (1976), available on Blu-ray Disc. It’s about juvenile delinquency and outsider friendship. The 13-year-old Uwe is played by Bohm’s adopted son Uwe Bohm. He lives with his mother and abusive alcoholic father in a Hamburg housing project. But when he discovers that the Asian classmate he’s been bullying — played by the director’s other adopted son Dschingis Bowakow — has built a raft from scrap wood, they devise a plan to run away together and sail to the North Sea. Marquard Bohm (Beware of a Holy Whore) co-stars in this “modern day Huckleberry Finn” (Prisma) that Germany’s ratings board tried to prevent young people from seeing, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with more than an hour of special features and a 40-page booklet featuring stills, news clippings and an essay by Der Samurai writer/director Till Kleinert.

In 1985, movie-obsessed entrepreneur Richard Horian — who’d made his fortune inventing a vinyl record cleaner sold at K-Mart — wrote, produced, directed, edited, scored and starred in the film that redefines vanity projects forever, eventually titled Student Confidential (1986), available on Blu-ray Disc. With a cast that includes Eric Douglas (son of Kirk/brother of Michael), Marlon Jackson (of The Jacksons) and Susan Scott (Playboy Playmate of the Month, May 1983) as troubled high school students, along with Oscar nominee Ronee Blakley (Nashville) and a lead performance by Horian himself, The Counselor was retitled and released in 1987 by Troma Entertainment to scathing reviews and savage dismissal. Nearly four decades later, this misunderstood masterpiece of auteurism can now be experienced on two discs with the theatrical and director’s cuts scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives — which Troma had been instructed to destroy by the director — plus more than five hours of special features that include the first-ever on-camera interview with Horian, the complete podcast “The Vanity Project” and more. Special features include audio commentary with director Richard Horian moderated by filmmaker Nicholas McCarthy; “Richard Horian Revealed,” an interview with Horian; “Acquired Tastes,” Lloyd Kaufman on Troma’s theatrical pick-ups of the ’80s And ’90s; “The Making of Student Confidential“; the theatrical trailer; the TV spot; the Troma trailer; and “The Vanity Project,” a six episode podcast about Richard Horian and the making of Student Confidential, featuring ambient video created by filmmakers Nicholas McCarthy, Graham Reznick and Zena Grey.
