Take an Easy Ride (Blu-ray)
0£14.99Produced and directed by legendary filmmaker Kenneth F. Rowles, Take an Easy Ride is one of the most controversial British exploitation movies ever made. A kinky pseudo-documentary warning young women against the perils of hitch-hiking, the film is based on real-life newspaper reports embellished with lashings of nudity, sex, drugs and violence. Originally released at the Pigalle Cinema in London’s West End in 1975, the movie played solidly for 48 weeks. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Take an Easy Ride makes its worldwide debut on blu-ray with a host of brand-new extras.
