TOUGHER THAN LEATHER (DVD) RUN DMC star in Rick Rubin's revenge flick

We have something very different this week.  This is one that I've been wanting to see since it was released back in the day in the theater and I never saw it available on video anywhere afterwards.  To me it seemed liked it vanished right after it came out - almost like someone is trying to forget it was ever made. But this is it!  A kind of New York style spaghetti western directed by the mighty Rick Rubin and starring the legendary RUN DMC at their height of success.  If you are a fan of the music and the people involved, you will not be disappointed......




TOUGHER THAN LEATHER (1988)

     Trouble is just a beat away when RUN DMC are signed by Strut Productions, a small time music booking agency whose real purpose is to launder drug money. The band soon after hires their close friend Runny Ray to help out on tour, but he stumbles upon some shady business and is callously murdered.

     With their friend's death covered up as a crack deal gone wrong and the case closed, the devastated musicians vow to clear his name. They take the law into their own hands and hit the streets to find and punish the people responsible for the murder, encountering racist bikers, blonde bimbos, and The Beastie Boys along the way.

     Legendary music produced Rick Rubin co-writes, co-produces, co-stars, and directs this tight action revenge thriller and even gets his father Mickey to star as the mafia kingpin. Live footage of historic hip-hop proportions are throughout the film including RUN DMC, Slick Rick and The Beastie Boys performing "Scenario", a missing track from "License to Ill".
