Shock Waves (1977) + Extras [w/Commentary]

In the dark days of World War II, the Nazi High Command ordered its scientists to create a top secret race of indestructible zombie storm troopers - un-living, unfeeling, unstoppable monstrosities that killed with their bare hands. They were known as The Death Corps. No member of this horrific SS unit was ever captured by the allied forces - and, somewhere off the coast of Florida, they have survived…!



Audio Commentary - a very informative and very honest audio commentary with co-writer/director Ken Wiederhorn, make-ups designer Alan Ormsby, and filmmaker Fred Olen Ray. The bulk of the information is about the different obstacles that had to be overcome during the shooting of the film, the different types of improvisations that were done because of the limited budget, the unique atmosphere and the important role of the primary locations, the film's key strengths and weaknesses (excellent and very honest comments from Ken Wiederhorn), and the film's ambient soundtrack.

Extras:
– Nazi Zombies On A Budget - in this video interview, producer/cinematographer Reuben Trane recalls how Shock Waves came to exist and explains how and where the film was shot. Mr. Trane also explains how much the film's stars were paid at the time and how long it took to shoot the key sequences there were part of (22 min).
– Sole Survivor - in this video interview, actress Brooke Adams (Rose) recalls her initial encounter with director Ken Wiederhorn and how he convinced her to wear bikini in front of his camera, and discusses the shooting of different sequences in Florida, her interactions with the rest of the cast, and her career (8 min).
