The following films were re-released under the Rolling Thunder Pictures label:
The label also released the independent films Hard Core Logo and Curdled . The 1994 Jet Li film Fist of Legend had been scheduled for a Rolling Thunder Pictures release, but eventually Dimension Films released it. Other production companies re-released on DVD later.
On April 16, 2013, coinciding with the release of Django Unchained , Miramax and Lions Gate released a special DVD set of three films previously released under the Rolling Thunder Pictures label. The set includes The Mighty Peking Man , a King Kong knock-off; Detroit 9000 , a detective-style blaxploitation film; and Switchblade Sisters , an obvious inspiration for Tarantino's films. Tarantino said of the collection "If you like my stuff, you can look at it as – this is where mine came from."[ citation needed ]
