Here’s some fun news for catalog-title col­lec­tors:  Shout! Factory will con­tinue its explo­ration into the 20th Century Fox film vaults with a new release that exhumes a pair of films with a Vietnam War focus.  The first film is Gordon’s War, a blax­ploita­tion fave that fea­tures Paul Winfield as a sol­dier who returns from war and decides to clean up his crime-ridden neigh­bor­hood.  It’s paired with Off Limits, a higher-profile item from the 1980’s that fea­tures Gregory Hines and Willem Dafoe as mil­i­tary cops try­ing to end a mur­der spree in war-torn Vietnam.  Both titles will fea­ture new trans­fers and extras.  Read on for all the war-and-crime details…
