The 1986 drama Extremities starring Farrah Fawcett (TV’s Charlie’s Angels, The Cannonball Run) makes its Blu-ray debut next month courtesy of Olive Films.

Extremities1Farrah is Marjorie, the victim of a robbery and near rape by an attacker named Joe (James Russo, Boy Wonder) who she has successfully fought off. But her feeling of safety is short-lived when she realizes that Joe has her address from the stolen items. An emboldened Marjorie puts a plan into action wherein she’ll turn the tables on her attacker, making the aggressor the victim. After entering her home, Joe finds himself overpowered, out maneuvered and held captive by the newly empowered Marjorie. And now the real battle begins..

Directed by Robert M. Young (Short Eyes), the R-rated Extremities also stars Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave) and Diana Scarwid (Party Monster). It’s a film adaptation of the 1982 Off-Broadway play of the same name by William Mastrosimone.

Farrah’s performance in the movie garnered her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Dramatic Role.
