The Roger Corman Collection pries open the Corman Vault of over 50 years of filmmaking to release special edition DVDs of two cult classics, THE INTRUDER: SPECIAL EDITION and EAT MY DUST: SUPERCHARGED EDITION — which were released on DVD September 25th.  Underground movie king Roger Corman (Rock and Roll High School, Death Race 2000, Big Bad Mama) brings you one of his favorite films, the critically-acclaimed THE INTRUDER, a serious depiction of racism and hatred starring William Shatner (Boston Legal, Star Trek) as an agitator bent on stopping desegregation in schools.  EAT MY DUST, a hilarious action-comedy tracking a young hero who abandons innocence for a wild ride in a stolen race car, features Ron Howard (Director, The DaVinci Code, Cinderella Man) in the starring role.   
 
The king of underground movies and exploitative cinema directed and produced THE INTRUDER, which was released theatrically in 1962.  Despite some of the best critical reviews of Corman’s career, the film did not find success at the box office because of the theme, but even by today’s standards THE INTRUDER remains powerful.  

William Shatner delivers a riveting performance as Adam Cramer, who travels from Washington to a small southern town under the guise of a social worker from the Patrick Henry Society.  He seems like the perfect gentlemen, but Cramer came to stop the court-ordered desegregation in schools by preaching his hatred to the locals.  He ignites an angry mob, but soon discovers their rage might be too much for him to control.  
 
THE INTRUDER: SPECIAL EDITION from Buena Vista Home Entertainment features the insightful extra “Remembering the Intruder,” a look back at Corman’s personal favorite through the eyes of its star, William Shatner, and the king himself. 
 
In 1976, fledgling actor-director Ron Howard made a deal with the Prince of Popcorn Cinema, Roger Corman that would change the course of filmmaking forever!  Corman would produce Howard’s feature directorial debut, Grand
Theft Auto
, if Howard would star in his quirky car comedy EAT MY DUST.  Written and directed by Charles B. Griffith (Corman’s Little Shop of Horrors) EAT MY DUST is the story of Hoover Niebold (Ron Howard), a small-town teen destined to fade into obscurity until he gets the guts to ask out the most popular girl in school, who says she’ll only hitch up with him if he steals a professional race car.  He drops his innocence, snags the ride and the girl, and the chase ensues! The film is noted for its brilliant low budget camera work, especially during the chase scenes when
Corman and Griffith attached cameras to the hoods of speeding cars to induce some added nausea in audiences, and its balance of teen angst and comic irony in the form of rural bumpkins and middle-class stereotypes.  
 
Perfect for car fans, cult fans or both, EAT MY DUST: SUPERCHARGED EDITION burns rubber with fantastic special features such as “How to Crash on a Dime,” a making-of featurette exploring filmmaking from the Corman perspective—cheap, cheap, cheap!  Plus, check out the film’s original trailer.
