DANNY TREJO IS MEAN, ANGRY AND …

 

BAD ASS

 

Explosive, Action-Packed Film Inspired By Epic Beard Man Viral Video
Lands On Blu-ray and DVD June 5

 

 

Kicking criminal butts and taking the law into his own hands, Danny Trejo (Machete, “Sons of Anarchy”) ignites the screen in the gritty, violent and enthralling film Bad Ass, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD June 5 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Inspired by the viral video of a vigilante citizen taking action into his own hands, Bad Ass also stars Ron Perlman (“Sons of Anarchy,” Hellboy) and Charles S. Dutton (Alien 3). 

 

Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart.   It’s not until 40 years later when an incident on a commuter bus, where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads, makes him a local hero and he’s suddenly celebrated once again.   But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it.

 

Directed by Craig Moss (The 41 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall And Felt Superbad About It), Bad Ass is inspired by the Epic Beard Man video that captured two men’s highly charged verbal and brutal physical altercation on a public bus in Oakland, California.  Posted to YouTube, the video spread like wildfire and the heroic elder bearded man was anointed Epic Beard Man.  The video has garnered more than five million views.

 

The Bad Ass Blu-ray and DVD has a featurette and audio commentary.   Both the Blu-ray and DVD are now available for pre-order.  Prebook is May 9.
