Drafthouse Films just unburied its latest lost treasure at Fantastic Fest 2015 . The distribution label has been making waves with both acquisitions from abroad—includingThe Tribe and A Field In England— and vital documentaries like The Act of Killing. But for those addicted to the eccentric passion projects of the past nothing has quite topped Drafthouse Films’ yearly repertory pick-up. Once you’ve seen the neon eccentricity of Miami Connection, the psychotronic transcendence of The Visitor, or the bloody animal outrageousness of Roar, it’s easy to understand why a new Drafthouse Films repertory pick is such an exciting unveiling. This year is no exception. No one is quite ready for the incompetent joyride that is Dangerous Men.

While Drafthouse Films has now released their teaser trailer for Dangerous Men, they primed the pump in advance of the Fantastic Fest 2015 unveiling with this:

We now know that this “Holy Grail of Holy Fuck” is the insane vision of John S. Rad, who spent 20 years completing his action extravaganza, only to have it sink into obscurity.

Here’s Drafthouse Films’ first teaser trailer for John S. Rad’s Dangerous Men:

Here’s Drafthouse Films’ on the long process of bringing Dangerous Men to screen:

“The fanatical brainchild of Iranian polymath John Rad, Dangerous Men is a passion project that remained in obsessive production for nearly two decades before finally debuted in Californian theaters in 2005. An unflappably prodigious creative force, Rad handled much of the technical duties of the film, appearing multiple times in the film's credits as the director, writer, location scout, producer, executive producer, and more.

Despite initially languishing at the box office during its limited theatrical release, and never finding a likeminded audience before Rad's untimely death in 2007,Dangerous Men developed a devoted following before vanishing as mysteriously as it appeared. Chief among them was Hadrian Belove, of the independent Los Angeles theater The Cinefamily, who saw the film multiple times during its brief theatrical run, and alerted Drafthouse Films and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema programming teams to the existence of the film. Working with the late artist's family, the team worked tirelessly alongside the American Genre Film Institute to locate and restore the original film.”

Dangerous Men feels like a combination of Jack Starrett’s Hollywood Man and Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45 directed by the type of guy who thanks himself in the credits.

But is Dangerous Men any good? Our review is coming soon, but it’s easy to say that Dangerous Men will stand with pride in the bizarro-world psychotronic canon Drafthouse Films is building one mind-fuck at a time.

Drafthouse Films will bring Dangerous Men back to theaters beginning Nov. 13.
