Described as 'the Citizen Kane of British pop movies' by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band's success. Starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other.<br/><br/>Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s - from bold beginnings in seedy clubs to booze-addled endings in spectacular stadiums - this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie, was not what anybody was expecting.<br/><br/> Acclaimed as a stone-cold bona-fide cult classic over subsequent decades, and boasting a razor-sharp screenplay, superb performances and a power-packed foot-stomping soundtrack, Slade in Flame has been newly remastered by the BFI from the best available 35mm materials for its first ever release on Blu-ray.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/>Newly remastered by the BFI and presented in High Definition and Standard Definition<br/>Newly recorded audio commentary with director Richard Loncraine and film critic Mark Kermode<br/>Make Way For Noddy(2025, 9 mins): actor Tom Conti discusses the making of Slade in Flame<br/>Noddy Holder Interview (2002, 54 mins): Noddy speaks to broadcaster Gary Crowley in the uncut, full-length version of an interview that later featured in The Making of Slade in Flame<br/>The Making of Slade in Flame (2007, 58 mins): recorded for the film's original DVD release and featuring interviews with all four members of Slade, director Richard Loncraine and actor Tom Conti, this documentary tells the story of Slade in Flame from its inception to its London premiere.<br/>This Week: Men's Fashions (1973, 5 mins): meet Tommy Nutter, the rebel tailor of Savile Row, as flamboyant fashions get thoroughly road-tested in this glam 1970s fashion short<br/>Original theatrical trailer (1975)<br/>Trailer (2025)<br/>Slade in Frame - a collection of promotional images from the film's original release<br/>**FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet with new writing on the film by Graham Rinaldi and other essays by J T Rathbone and Barry Forshaw

Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) är en kaxig prickskytt från amerikanska västern som på 1860-talet hamnar i Australiens vildmark. Han inser att han har blivit anställd för att skjuta aboriginerna som bor i området och vänder sig i stället mot den grymma och rika markägaren. Det blir en strid på liv och död - som innehåller både action, kärlek och humor.<br/><br/>American sniper Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) is known for his exceptional shooting skills. With his custom-made Sharps buffalo rifle, he hits targets at long range like no other. A new job takes him to Australia, where he is employed to hunt dingoes for the greedy landowner Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman). But Marston has only one goal: to claim even more areas of the largely uninhabited continent for himself, and he does not shrink away from the murder of the natives. When Quigley realizes that he is not supposed to kill wild dogs, but Aborigines, he refuses to start the job - and as a result gets himself into the line of fire of the unscrupulous rancher.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/>Language(s): English, Interactive Menu, Booklet, Bonus Footage, Documentaries: 'The Rebirth of Westerns', Interviews: Laura San Giacomo (actor); Mike Tristano (weapons expert), Trailers
