Last night, at the superb ‘Garden Cinema’ in the heart of London’s West End, the UK premiere of the incoming action film Renegades took place with the cast and crew in attendance.
The film stars Nick Moran (Lock Stock), Lee Majors (The Fall Guy), Danny Trejo (Machete), Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Patsy Kensit (Lethal Weapon 2), Ian Ogilvy (We Still Kill the Old Way), Paul Barber (The Full Monty), Billy Murray (Rise of the Foot Soldier), Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott (Nemesis), Michael Paré (Streets of Fire), Stephanie Beacham (Dynasty), Michael Brandon (Dempsey & Makepeace) and Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister (No Holds Barred).
Lee Majors plays Carver, a courageous former green beret and true gentleman, who stands by soldiers old and new and helps them in their hour of need. When struggling veteran, played by Nick Moran (Lock Stock), comes to him for support, he does his best to help. Introducing him to his loyal old special forces comrades Peck (Ian Ogilvy), Woody (Billy Murray) and Harris (Paul Barber), they welcome the new recruit with open arms, living by their ethos of ‘You don’t leave a man behind even when the war is over and done with…’.
When Carver is shockingly murdered, the ex-army Renegades band together to protect his daughter Judy (Patsy Kensit) and exact revenge on those responsible… a vicious international drug gang, led by the fearsome Goram (Louis Mandylor). They’re ready to dispense their own brand of old-school justice on the mean streets of London. Aided by the enigmatic Sanchez (Danny Trejo), the veterans must stay one step ahead of determined Scotland Yard Detective Moore (Sothcott) and stop Goram’s gang from taking their deadly hold on the city.
The film is produced by Jonathan Sothcott and directed by Daniel Zirilli, both of whom we spoke to at the premiere yesterday evening, along with some of the cast.

Renegades is released on digital in the UK from 30th January and then on DVD from 13th February.
