The official trailer has been released for 'HEAVY WEAPON', a 2026 action-comedy thriller from writer-director Jimmy Drain, ahead of an expanded VOD rollout beginning 6 December 2026.
Presented as a modern grindhouse double feature, 'HEAVY WEAPON' combines two distinct stories in one film, drawing on the energy of cult exploitation cinema and classic 1980s action movies.
The first story, 'THE OVERSHADOW PARABLES', brings thriller and horror elements to the double feature, while 'SHOOT FROM THE HIP: RISE OF THE PHANTOM' shifts into action-comedy territory.
The film stars Jimmy Drain, Erika Monet Butters, Natasha Coppola-Shalom, Bob Bagnall and Aeon Cruz, with action-film veteran Vernon Wells, known for 'COMMANDO' and 'MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR'.
Written and directed by Jimmy Drain, the film features music by Adrian Croom and is produced by ThunderKnight Ltd.
The filmmakers have confirmed that 'HEAVY WEAPON' has been cleared for an expanded VOD rollout from 6 December across platforms including Google Play, Fawesome TV, Roku, Relay, Stash Action on YouTube and YouTube, with Tubi expected to follow.
