Thank You! To the Late Robert Urich
Hello, I'm Janie Strifler. My only and deepest regret is that I wasn't able to say "hello" or "thank you" to this great actor. So, if you were ever a fan of Robert Urich from his character on "Soap, to Dan Tanna, Spenser, you'll want to add this video to your collection and to keep him in your memory. If by chance you happen to be a fan of Las Vegas and the Desert Inn Hotel this video is what you've been looking for. As a fan of this late actor and a fan of the entertainment industry Robert Urich will be forever missed but not forgot by this fan. ... Read more

Wretched
I had seen this movie a few times on Comedy Central and I have never seen such an horrible, sexist, ill-conceived movie. The women on this film are the stereotypical bimbos with the silicone breast implants with speech problems. The movie seems to go nowhere, just one mishap after another. It was so horrible that I could never sit through it all. This movie is right down there with Howard the Duck, Hamburger: The Motion Picture, and the Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie, as far as bad 1980s films are concerned.

Outstanding! *****
Simply put, the best eighties movie you will ever see. The funniest jokes, the best script,and one of the finest casts I've had the pleasure of ever viewing. Pure poetry. I loved it. If I was stranded on a desert island, and could only have three movies, this would be one of them. And two copies, for when my original copy wore out from over-watching. My laughter would keep me sane on that island. ... Read more

Another classic film from the Candy man
John Candy and Eugene Levy have a great chemistry in this film. The addition of the sweet, innocent character played by Meg Ryan a great plus. Even though the story and filming is not the greatest, their characters in this film play off each other very well to provide for some hilarious, outlandish situations and a whole slew of laughs. For example, this is the only film that features a semi-truck hauling a tanker of rocket fuel playing demolition derby through a traffic jam. Even though some of the humor is a bit campy at times, I could watch this film over and over, and still laugh out loud. This movie is a good addition to you family library, and a must have for John Candy fans.

Sometimes Clever Comedy but John Candy`s Classic.
When an Honest Cop (John Candy) was framed for stealing and Ex-Lawyer (Eugene Levy), they become together Private Security Guards but when a Conspiracy that is happining at the Private Security Guards. The Ex-Cop and the Ex-Lawyer are going to solve the case together, if they like it or not.

Directed by Mark L. Lester (Class of 1984 and 1999, Commando) shows a great fun of Comedy and Action. Candy and Levy are great together, the supporting cast are:Robert Loggia, Kenneth McMillian, Meg Ryan, Jonathan Banks, Brion James and Steve Ralisback (In a Cameo). DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) with the Original:Dolby Stereo 2.0 Surround Sound. This was a box office disappointment in 1986 but it does way better on Video. John Candy and Brion James died years later after this fun. This is a fun cop comedy. Grade:A-.

Very Funny
One of the best comedys of the late 80s. In one scene..John Candy dressed as Divine and Eugene Levy in assless chaps(are'nt you the cheeky one)worth the price of admission.

Great John Candy romp!
Like many of the action comedies of the time this one delivers an entertaining story with John Candy's wacky humor. Candy and Levy star as the protagonists who are forced to join a security agency when all other options fail. Revolving around a plot involving corruption and crooked cops Candy and Levy aim to get to the bottom of all that is wrong while [complicating matters] frequently. I really laughed a lot at this film. Candy and Levy make a great team and offer up some very hysterical scenes. Levy's attempts at being a defense attorney, Candy fishing at a pier, and the two crashing a ball thrown for the chief of police all seem like harmless events but these two always know how to screw them all up. If you are a fan of the SCTV or SNL crews then you definately have to see this movie. It is lesser known but very funny.

good movie
good movie,only good john candy movie made....if u like chevy chase movies, u might like this one ... Read more

Wonderful Cult classic
This is a great movie to relax with on a lazy day, and I can't believe they haven't released it on DVD. This movie should be seen in widescreen (OK every movie should be seen in widescreen), and just begs for a blooper reel. It is a fun romp with characters who because of their faults are more believable. I can really enjoy a movie where the actors apear to be having fun! It has never really been taken seriously (probably why it isn't on DVD yet). There is a place for serious movies on my shelf, but after a hard day of working, I say dim the lights and pass the cheese please!!!

"Alot of thought went into it"
Anyone who can dodge bullets should try walking on water or better still run across liquid concrete. Fortunately, our super heroes have time to hear the villans trigger finger clinch before firing. I guess they'd be out of luck if they unloaded the whole clip in a few seconds. This movie is about as realistic as "Romancing the Stone", but still I liked it. That's not to say you will or even should but some of the scenes are great to watch. Don't watch the scene at the Statue of Liberty if you're afraid of heights. I sure hope no Doberman Pinchers were hurt during the making of this movie. They were extremely talented. Any dog that can walk across cable is quite extraordinary. But Fred Ward is good in this movie. His cynical attitude towards being recruiting by "an organization that doesn't exist" quickly wears off and he becomes the understudy of Chin (Joel Grey) who teaches him some nifty tricks. Of course, the bad guys are deplorable and I don't know how much those construction workers at the Statue of Liberty got paid to knock him off but it sure didn't look like much. This movie is entertaining though, so if you want some laughs and some exciting action watch this show but don't expect realism.

GREAT CULT FICTION
With Fred Ward as a reluctant hero, who after a fatal accident ends his life as an NYPD officer he-thanks to the name on a bed pan-becomes REMO WILLIAMS. He's a hired assassin who, for the most part, wouldn't hurt a fly. Jackie Chan doesn't have much on this no-killing, killer. Remo is sexy and loveable as is (Joel Grey) Chun, his fuss-bucket-soap opera watching-martial arts, sensei.
(Kate Mulgrew) Major Rayner Fleming is a bossy sergeant who falls for (Fred Ward) Remo, though their romance is put on the back burner. (Wilford Brimley) Harold Smith is the cool on in this movie but brings all of it together along with explanations of why they are this mission to stop corruption and (J.A. Preston) Conn MacCleary, is the partner and soon to be revealed-unsung hero of the whole thing. The whole movie is one twist after another, and after a while you just don't know the good guys from the bad guys...except for that guy with the diamond in his tooth. You KNOW he's a bad guy.
Remo Williams went on TV for a while but it just wasn't the same. Watch the movie, you won't regret it...if you like movies like Galaxy Quest, Austin Powers-ya know, unbelievable stuff-I think they are a great get away from the deep-reality flicks

A sleeper from the mid eighties!
This is a wonderful romp starring Fred Ward and Joel Grey (both under rated actors!). It's an adventure/spy genre flick with a healthy dose of sophisticated comedy. I only wish it were available in DVD. If you missed it the first time, rent or buy it ASAP! If you are at all cerebral, you won't regret it.

One of the best movies I've seen
This movie is a great action movie, but does not consider itself too serious to have some fun at it's own expense. I loved it, good action, yet witty and sharp. ... Read more

The Black Marble
This movie portrays two police detectives -- each with their own problems, through a series of adventures. What a cast-- Robert Foxworth plays a Russian Immigrant that has "seen too much" and has a drinking problem because of it. Paula Prentiss gives the performance of her life as his newly assigned partner -- entirely against her wishes. Great plot! Great supporting cast too. ... Read more

Funny, Crazy , and crazier. Get plenty of popcorn and laugh
It's obvious that the cast and crew got together and had a terrific time giving us a terrific time. This movie ranks high in the genre of The Naked Gun and Police Academy movies.

Great fun and shenanigans!
Burt Young, Judy Landers, Mary Woronov, Karen Black, Allen Garfield, Sherman Hemsley and Lance Kinsey are wacked out and way out in this off the wall comedy. ... Read more

Expert Weapon
I was very disappointed with Expert Weapon.Sam Jones was great in Flash Gordon but in this movie well i think he should have left it alone.The acting and fighting scenes were so stupidly made,it was like as if a actor was standing there waiting to be hit.This is the type of film that reminded me of the early '80's low and cheap. Please do not waste your money on a low budget film like this.Rent it or look for a diffrent type of action film.

This video is only $19.95
Action Star Ian Jacklin stars along with Flash Gordon's Sam J Jones, Judy Landers and Joe Estevez. This film is NOT available in Canada. If you have questions please call the films producer and distributor at 1-800-906-4749. ~Screen Pix Home Video ... Read more

AMATEURISH S/F SWORDFIGHTING VIDEO
Robert Chapin, who gave us so much good action in "Ring of Steel", does nothing to advance his career here. This is a lamely written, poorly directed, overall amateur-feeling video.

The plot involves a post-apocalyptic swordfighter going back to our time to save the future from some plague, or something. There's something in there about how he rebelled against the warlord who created him, there's the requisite romantic interests and bad guys and stranger-in-a-strange-land type stuff as our heroes and villains explore 1990's LA.

The sets in the future are obviously someone's back yard. The fight choreography is blatant and poorly edited. The acting ranges from almost competent to woeful, and is not helped by the weak material. The director himself plays a guy about to enjoy his wedding night when the female hero from the future, inexplicably topless, appears in his bed. This level of sophistication infuses the whole production. A decent student film festival will give you more cinematic satisfaction.

The only reedeeming qualities I found in this fim are the eye-candy actors and the ability to clearly analyze the sword fighting choreography.

Don't waste your time.
I rented this video because I like films with action and sword fights, but this film did not deliver. The action was weak and the sword fights were silly. The direction and acting were even worse. I wish I could say something positive but I can't think of anything.

Dragon Fury Review
I liked this film because it didn't get too technical with the medical/scifi terminology. It was easy to follow in that respect. The fight scenes were done very well with only one objectionable/hokey death of a bad guy. I liked the fact that the hero was not infallible. He had some chinks in his armor which made him more interesting. I would like to have seen one tiny redeeming quality in the main warrior bad guy though. Even just a slight hesitation when he's about to do something really nasty-a hint of regret-would help me believe a little bit more in his character. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in swords or this type of hand to hand combat. The guys aren't bad to look at either! ... Read more

Alien Cheese From Canada
This is easily one of the silliest coming of age sagas ever made. Made in Canada and starring Judy Landers as "Miss Xenobia", an alien disguised (with excessive makeup and gigantic hair) as a college biology teacher. "Dr. Alien" is somewhat like "Weird Science" combined with "Hobgoblins" in overall texture and concept. The plot revolves around the transformation of Billy Jacoby from nerd to extremely cool (for mid 1980's Canada) studmuffin. Along the way many silly situations typical of the genre happen, and poor Billy Jacoby gets a comical looking, yet disturbing additional appendage (which talks, but it's not what you think) that helps him out with the ladies.

I am particularly fond of the scenes in the bar, both for the rankness of the music and later the Hobgoblins-esque (though with better special effects) brawl. Three stars, it definitely has mid 1980s camp value, which will make you laugh if you are so inclined, but it isn't outrageous enough to watch repeatedly.

B-movie classic
The plot is pretty standard. "Geek" is asked to help his (gorgeous) substitute biology teacher with an experiment. All of the sudden "geek" gets cool and has amazing...self-confidence...at least partially due to the pheremones put out by the thing poking out of his head. Turns out the substitute is an alien out to save her race by experimenting on hapless humans.

So can our geek ever get the one girl he wants, instead of the hundreds he doesn't? Get the show and find out.

one hot alien
if you like campy b-movies then you must see dr.alien, it,s funny, it has judy landers, tons of hot sexy women, what more could you ask for.

anyone who likes cheesy 80's, will like this.
This is a big time cheesy 80's movie, but I'm sure if you like stuff like that (I do), this is a good investment. It's also got a little T&A which I'm sure can't hurt at all.

Your kidding right?
You actually want to know about this movie? Look at it. Buy STEWARDESS SCHOOL instead if you want to see a Judy Landers movie. ... Read more
