International Religious Intrigue
Amid the backdrops of London, Paris, Rome and other beautiful cities, Steven Randall, a PR man, uncovers intrigue relating to a controversial religious discovery -- a new NEW TESTAMENT. He's on the trail of the truth, finding murder and mayhem along the way. David Janssen is slick, cool and confident until put on trial for the theft of an important religious artifact which will prove his case that the controversy is a hoax after all. Beautiful scenery and cityscapes, an all over mellow mood with appropriately romantic score.

Another more complete version
There is another version of this video. It is called "The Word" by USA Home Video, and it has two tapes in a pack with 188 minutes in a full length feature film (according to the box).

NOT the complete series!
This edition consists of 3 50 minute tapes. With 3 tapes, you'd think they would feature the complete mini-series. But many character scenes have been cut, especially those by John Huston! Still worth seeing until a better version comes along. ... Read more

why do they ruin good old shows?
Why do they always have to ruin good old TV shows by making reunions and sequels? So many classics have been ruined like this -- STAR TREK, BURKES LAW, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, TWILIGHT ZONE, GET SMART, and, sadly, KUNG FU. I thought this 1986 film was awful -- then, later, when I watched KUNG FU: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, it didn't seem as bad (NOTHING was as bad as KF:TLC!). Still, this is pretty awful, and let's hope they don't release KUNG FU: THE NEXT GENERATION (the one-hour sequel that CBS aired in 1987) or KF:TLC.

Beautiful
I liked the film, although Brandon Lee (one of my favourate martial arts performer) did not appear so often in the film. D. Carradine was great.

ONLY ONE GOOD AND PROPER FIGHT SCENE
This film Kung Fu the movie woulld appeal to most people but I do not like it. It is a bore. The end fight with Cardine and Brandon is good but even that is slow. It is not a great film but if you like a film with one good fight in it feel free to get this. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN $5 FOR IT

Very Good
Brandon Lee is a very great martial artist, and as much as a role he had in this film it was enough to light up the screen and create a wonderful movie, I am a martial artist and have studied the martial arts my whole life just to be like my idol...Brandon Lee.

A message of non violence, a war against drugs.
After the tv series, with the same title and actor & character a movie its not as good as the tv series. The story is very slow. There should be some more suspence & action full movements. David Carradine seemed a super human. Its very far from real life. He should make film like his tv series. ... Read more

UNFIT FOR FAMILY VIEWING
I was disappointed with the contents of this movie. The story was entertaining but the vulgarity and swearing was uncalled for. I am sure that the Mountain Men's language left little to be desired but I believe that in this movie it was not needed. There were a couple of sexual oriented scenes that made this movie unfit for family viewing. The era of the Mountain Men is a period in our history that we should be proud of and we should be able to share it with our families. It is hard for a parent to want our our kids to expierence the beautiful scenery and adventure of this movie and not be worried about the next scene. I own other movies of the Mountain Men era and this is the first one that I can truly say is not for family viewing.

A Beginning of Accuracy
The Movie "The Mountain Men" was a great beginning in trying to display some form of Accuracy of the way life was during the fur trade era. I would like it remade with actual Indian actors, and with a longer story line. I agree it could have been made without the swearing even though the Mountain Men of old probably had a foul mouth. However, for home entertainment, it's not necessary. The movie is great at this time for anyone's collection, and until it's redone, or another of better quality is released.

"Sit down, flatlander."
Hawken muzzle loaders. Plugs of chewing tobacco the size of your fist. Buffalo robes. Beaver pelts. Jugs of whiskey.

But enough about last night's party.

Director Richard Lang's THE MOUNTAIN MEN is a rough-and-tumble yarn depicting the fur trapping industry's final days in the pristine splendor of the northern Rockies. Even in such a remote region, the demand back East for top hats made of beaver skin resulted in the virtual extinction of the buck-toothed rodents in their mountain habitats; on top of that, silk hats were rapidly becoming the fashion craze, creating even more of a hardship on the gritty mountain men who trapped along countless streams and rivers, searching for what remained of the elusive beaver population.

It was a hard life, predicated on an individual's ability to survive in a harsh environment based on his wits and his bare hands. Interaction with other people was rare--the need to get along with neighboring Indian tribes a must. And infrequently, perhaps once every two or three years, the trappers would unite at a "rendezvous" to trade their pelts for cash and let off a little steam. To say that such a gathering was rowdy and violent is kind of like saying turtles have shells.

Charlton Heston "shines" (a little mountain man lingo, there) as fur trapper Bill Tyler, a quiet man who only wishes to be left alone so he can find that last valley just teeming with beaver. But there's a problem: while fighting off a band of Blackfoot bent on stealing his horses and supplies he attracts the company of a young squaw (Victoria Racimo) who happens to be married to a chief with a very serious attitude (Stephen Macht). Thus Tyler and his new companion are forced to run, and run, and run some more to escape the warrior's wrath.

While Heston is solid in his role, Brian Keith absolutely steals the show as crusty Henry Frapp. Henry, a friend of Tyler's, is a cantankerous, foul-mouthed, fun-loving old coot who vividly breathes life into the mountain man persona. Keith dominates every scene he's in, and he's fun to watch.

Heck, THE MOUNTAIN MEN is fun to watch. The screenplay, incidentally, was written by Heston's son, Fraser, who obviously did his homework concerning this fascinating aspect of the Old West. Grab a plug of tobacco and enjoy.
--D. Mikels

Baudy and Entertaining
This show has a fairly good story line, fine acting and stunning scenery. I saw this show when it was first released and the one aspect of the picture that I think I loved the most is the dialect. This was the first time I ever heard 'Uncle Bill'(Brian Keith)swear! The movie might not be historically accurate, or maybe it is...I don't really know or care. I grew up in Wyoming, and the way Tyler and Frapp carry on as the grumpy, mangy, grizzled old farts that they are just seemed natural to me. The one scene when Tyler happens upon Frapp in the middle of a frozen lake(Tyler has written off Frapp after seeing him 'killed'and subsequently scalped by Indians) and remarks on the scalping "Well, it sure must have smarted some"...Frapp agrees and displays a broad patch missing hair...Take me Bill Tyler..Take me!!! HEH!!!

Very Entertaining and Instructive....for Muzzleoaders
This movie is very entertaining and very instructive for muzzleloading enthusiasts, who participate in shooting and tomahawk throwing contests at annual rendez-vous. It shows several crucial aspects of that rough life of independent, freedom-loving, beaver trappers, or mountain men. This movie may also help to promote the sale of St. Louis Hawken rifles (Heston = Chairman of the NRA) and to raise the interest in a relatively unknown historical era towards the end of the fur trade, between, say, the Lewis and Clark Expedition by the Corps of Discovery in 1803-06 and the Fall of the Alamo in 1836, a simpler historical period, clearly far before the Civil War and its gutwrenching questions raised by the abolition of slavery, and the following unreal "cowboy" wild west fights between ranchers and settlers, as portrayed by John Wayne. The somewhat flat story of this movie "Mountain Men," of "bad indians" versus "good (white male) beaver trappers," partially fighting about an indian squaw, plays out in the Rocky Mountains near the Grand Tetons (Jackson Hole, Wisconsin), just south of the border between Canada and the USA. Some individual special fights and flights are quite well executed, e.g., a jump from a cliff in a foaming river and the portrayal of very old, but still lascivious "Jim Bridger" in his suit of steel at the rendez-vous is priceless. But, don't go to see the movie for the story, but go to see it for the bawdy and rough life style of these free-spirited mountain men, their muzzleloaders and tomahawks and their acoutrements. That life is far less idyllic and Arcadian than the 1837 drawings of Alfred Miller. See it for the spectacular scenery and vistas of the Rocky Mountain. And, of course, see it for Charleston Heston, as a fairly credible 50-year old "Lion in Winter," who, initially reluctantly, but soon convincingly, hooks up with a "trophy wife" in the form of a pretty indian squaw. ...

Texas History and battle / war buff classic
Based on Pulitzer Prize author John Michener's Texas. GREAT FOR TEXAS HISTORY buffs and of Epic quality.

Students of Texas History will find is makes the material come to life. However the sound quality is poor on the VHS version. I'd rent it before I bought a copy to know what the sound quality is like before purchasing.

Wonderfully engaging western-a must see
This DVD equals a two-tape VHS,which means approximately three hours of watching,but you won`t feel that you`re wasting a single minute in the company of these larger-than-life,yet still realistic and believable,heroes who all played a part,big or small,in making Texas a state. The colorful and engaging story of the Lone Star State is being told with pride and love in this TV production.You`ll learn ever so much,and it`s extremely entertaining as well.A very nice "The making of..." is included,where you`ll get interviews with most of the actors.
This is definitely Stacy Keach`s film. In his portrayal of "Mr.Texas" himself,Sam Houston,he makes "Texas" what it is,with the help of Patric Duffy as a sensitive,intelligent Stephen Austin,David Keath as a hell-raisin`,good-timin`Jim Bowie and Grant Show as the corageous,defiant William Barret Travis.
Other actors also do a good job,including country singers and actors Randy Travis and John Schneider(who,as Davy Crockett,is the man who produces the best rousing rebel yell of this movie!)

The best argument for purchasing this film is what Grant Show says in "The making of...": "It`s an adventure."

It really,truly is!

The Last Command 40 years later
James A. Michener's Texas is a quality TV miniseries that tells the story of how Texas became a state. The movie condenses almost 30 years of history into about 3 hours which is one of its bad points. Narrated by Charlton Heston, the miniseries shows Stephen Austin's colonization of Texas, cries for war, the Alamo, the Battle at San Jacinto, and the struggle to help the Republic of Texas survive all while following the story of several fictional characters.

The cast for the movie is really very good. It stars Benjamin Bratt, Rick Schroeder, Patrick Duffy, Chelsea Field, Randy Travis, Anthony Michael Hall, Stacey Keach, John Schneider, David Keith and many other notable faces. Bratt is very good as Benito Garza as is Schroeder as Otto MacNab, a young Texas Ranger. Overall, the movie is pretty good, but everything seems a little rushed. For one, the footage from the Alamo attack is from The Last Command made in the 1950's which looks very out of place. Also, San Jacinto is done almost all in slow motion which just doesn't work. Still a good movie though if you're looking for a basic history of Texas.

Texas with no Comanches (or anyone else)
At the beginning of the movie Charlton Heston tells us that there are 7000 Hispanics, 20,000 Anglos(?), and I forgot how many Native Americans (I only use this phrase because I know so many people from India and it seems odd calling others Indians). Wonder why there were only 7000 Hispanics after hundreds of years of Spanish rule? How about Comanches and other North American Indians (okay so I said it)? The Spanish had little trouble dispensing with the more agrarian Central Mexican tribes. However, they and their Mexican descendents NEVER got north of San Antonio (except to be slaughtered). Also, non-Hispanic Texans were contained for years by the Comanches (and others). So, how is it that the movie characters living on along the frontier only have troubles with Comanches twice in thirty years? I liked the actors (for the most part). Other than that, this is just a poor re-telling of the Alamo.

A good movie.
I read the book before I saw the movie, and even so I wasn't disappointed. The movie told a good section of the story and stayed as true as possible to the book. I just wish that they had been able to do more of the book. I had two minor problems with it, though: Some of the footage (like the fall of the Alamo) looked like it might have been borrowed from an old western. Also, during the battle right before Otto and Yancey captured Santa Anna, I don't understand why they had Sam Houston galloping around the edges of the battle in slow motion, hardly fighting at all, looking like an early-nineteenth-century Captain America. I don't think that served any real purpose. Other than that, I liked it. ... Read more

This movie is tight!!
This movie can really describe unfaithfulness in a fun way. I give this movie an a plus. I saw it two weeks ago. You would really love a movie like this. Trust me. I love it!!

Great 70's women's movie.
An interesting movie that reflects how Hollywood was portraying the changing roles and attitudes of women in the 70's. Fun to see Bo Derek and Anthony Hopkins in the hot tub--total 70's. Shirley MacLaine's excellent. ... Read more

"...But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie."

Kelly, Jill, and Sabrina--three young women right out of the Academy, working for the illustrious and mysterious private investigator Charles Townsend. Charlie's Angels is a true time capsule of the 1970s, expressed through crime fighting, daunting intrigue, and subtle sexuality.

"Angels in Chains" is a tale of deception in a corrupt women's prison. A distressed woman is desperate to solve the mysterious disappearance of her sister in a Southern prison. The law can't help her, the system can't help her. As a last resort she turns to Charlie's Angels. The Angels accept the assignment and discover that the prison serves as the warden's private ring of prostitution. Among the Angels' "prison mates" is a young Kim Basinger.In "Angels Under Covers," the Angels are hired to investigate a string of strange occurrences in the red light district's massage parlors. Guess what? It appears that more than just "massages" are going on under those red lights. And behind the shenanigans is none other than the police department's crooked Lieutenant played by Ed Lauter. Yes it's campy, but in a wonderfully dated sort of way. --Rob Bracco ... Read more

Kate, Farrah and Jaclyn at their best
This one episode alone displays the essence of "Charlie's Angels." It's what the pop-culture obsession, that continues to this day, is all about. This episode comes from the first season, in the fall of 1976. I believe it's show number four. Sabrina, Jill, and Kelly are given the undercover assignment to investigate crimes, ranging from rape to murder, in an all-women's prison. It's non-stop action from the moment the trio is picked up on false drug possession charges. Watch for the action and excitement as the three try to escape their own deadly fate with the bad guys... It's probably the most popular and well-known of all the episodes in the show's history. By the way, in or out of prison, these girls always look GREAT...

the episode ever!!!
This episode only tells me how old I am now. Not that I am old but HELLO!, This was over fifteen years ago and I actully remember watching this with my mother. Now here I am watching it again and this campy show is the best episode of all of the series. Thank God, I found it at Sam's. Don't you just love Farrah's Do.
And best of all the three Angels, Jill,Kelly, Sabrina are just beautiful and hey at least the show gave them some brains. Which is something of a miracle for women shows that came out of the seventies which were not many. Being a kid that was born in the mid-seventies I was bombared with t.v. reruns and I was lucky inough to be able to come home and watch this show. The three original Angel's are the best. Cherly Ladd, was great too. But...it just wasn't the same after Farrah left the show. Eventhough though later she did make guest appearances. So buy this video and relive the spirit of the seventies with "Charlie's Angels". Oh, and an added bonus, check out a young fresh Kim Basinger.

CULT FAVE EPISODE of the classic 1970's series
This episode has become a cult classic!The angels go undercover as prison inmates to uncover a prostitution ring. Among the guests stars of this episode are Lauren Tewes(Julie on Love Boat) and a young Kim Bassinger. But the real treat is seeing cult movie icon MARY WARONOV of "Eating Raoul,","Rock and roll high school" and Andy Warhol fame. Seeing Mary Woronov as a sadistic prison warden is a hoot and any Woronov fan needs to own this episode! (during admission to the prison while the angels are being sprayed down with a cleaner by Maxine: KELLEY(Jaclyn Smith) says to MAXINE(Mary Waronov) "How long has it been sinse you've been sprayed?" MAxine: "Get cute in here deary and you can get hurt!"HILLARIOUS campy dialouge!Besides the guest stars, the episode is top-notch camp at it's peak! This episode is the highest rated of the series(including the re-runs in syndication) and is a MUST for Mary Woronov fans and Charlie's Angels fans!

Charlie's Angels - Angels in Chains
"Angels in Chains"...the quintessential Charlie's Angels episode!

Before Buffy, there were the angels.
Before the show was sullied by the addition of Cheryl Ladd, Shelly Hack and Tanya Roberts, it was an unlikely example of both feminisim (women working together to save each other from abuse) and anti-feminism (the bad woman is still butch and grotesque).

Featuring a very young Kim Bassinger, this episode is a classic for Charlie's Angels fans. Set approximately in the first half of the first season of the ABC series, it features flouncy hair, guns and empowered women. This time, the angels are going undercover in a corupt women's prison to save women from being the warden's call girls.

Yes, the idea of a prison prostitution ring is designed to titilate the audience, but the fact that the Angels are resucing those women breaks from the traditional damsel in distress routine. Although critics blasted it and suggested that it was a cheesecake factory, it (unlike the modern counterpart, baywatch) is much less exploitative for women.

This series is so much more, that is should be considered the path breaker for Buffy the Vampire Slayer which shows brains and beauty can coexist. ... Read more

Fantastic DVD release
CHARLIE'S ANGELS gets a wonderful DVD release with perfect picture and two choice episodes.

Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson star in two stories from the memorable first season; "Night Of The Strangler" and "To Kill An Angel". The only main qualm is the lack of chapters in the episodes.

Also included is the entertaining "Angels Forever" retrospective featurette which quizzes fans of the show as well as providing footage from the show and details from later cast members including Cheryl Ladd and Tanya Roberts.

Pretty impressive DVD package all-round!

The Angels are back !!!!!!!
This two-part special edition is definitely a collector's item especially for those die-hard "Charlie's Angels" fans.It features Jaclyn Smith, who deserves the recognition as the "most angelic of them all," and two of the best episodes of the series. We're not talking award-winning stuff in this dvd issue but an outstanding entertainment to "visit" the undisputed queens of the 70s television.

The episode "Night of the Strangler" shows why Jaclyn Smith lasted so long in the series. Her looks and style are timeless plus that scene in her famous white bikini is a must to see. Of course, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett are on hand to complete the trio.

For the episode "To Kill An Angel," new fans will be surprise that the show is not just pure bikini's and guns. It showcases also the dramatic sides of the trio.

The cover alone is worth the trip, so buy it now and collect! A must!

Charlie how do you your Angels get down
OMG, please tell me this is the first of many more to come, Having the Angels on DVD is way fun. One mishap though, NO SCENE SELECTION. But it makes up for that with the Angel Featurette and the digitally enhanced audio and video.

CHARLIE,S ANGELS
WONDEFUL lots of added features and Angels Forever is highlights from alot of the shows.This is a must for any Charlie,s Angels fan. Columbia and Tristar have done a GREAT job. Hope they come out with more. Charlie would give them all a week off with pay ,for a job well done.

Contains an Exclusive Featurette! Must Have For Angel Fans
Just finished viewing The DVD and in addition to the Two Classic epiodes mentioned in the description, the DVD also has an Exclusive Featurette Titled "Angels Forever"! This 20 Minute Documentary tells of The Impact that Charlies Angels has had on Various Fans and includes Vintage Scenes from The Series from The Farrah Year until the Tanya Roberts Last Year! The Special Feature Contains Hilarious Montages made of vintage scenes from the series! It made me realise why I loved Charlies Angels so much as a Kid and Love it even more now as an adult! The Show was Pure Fun and Escapism an I really missed those days when I would eagerly await every Wed Night for a New Angel Episode and to see what the Angels were Wearing(and in many cases not wearing). Hey for a 13 year old, seeing Farrah Fawcett's Nipples was a Big Deal(probably would not even be talked about today). If your an Angel Fan, you really need this DVD. I hope they release more episodes on DVD! ... Read more

Not What I Expected
I was disappointed with this one...the storyline was okay, but I was surprised at the amount of foul language. It says "not-rated", so it's a little misleading. If you're particular about what your kids see these days, I'd skip this one. I would not consider it a good, "family Christmas movie". There are too many that are much better to fill that category. If you find it at a library or rent it for a night, you might want to see it, but it's not worth the selling price.

Christmas is a time for miracles
Pete and Ray are brothers who are involved in a long standing feud which started when Ray married Pete's ex-girlfriend. Pete was already upset over his wife leaving and saw this as a double betrayal. Pete's son, Michael, was also hurt at his mother's exit and got into trouble with the police. Christmas provisions have to be delivered to Alaska which means Pete and Ray have to work together. On the way they have to stop to pick up Ray's estranged Wife who is pregnant. On the journey they have to learn to forgive each other because only by working together can they survive the journey. Tom Wopat and John Schneider are excellent as feuding brothers who love each other really. Kim Delaney is perfect as the alienated and pregnant wife. Zachary Ansley is great as the rebellious teenage son. Hoyt Axton is fantastic as their late father's business partner. If you like warm and fuzzy moments then you will love this film. A great film for all the family.

Christmas is a time for miracles!
Pete and Ray are brothers. They have to transport christmas provisions to Alaska. Pete and Ray have been involved in a feud for a while. On the way Pete has to deal with a rebellious son,
a brother who is a magnet for trouble and his ex-girlfriend who is now his sister-in-law. Ray has to deal with an alienated and pregnant wife. Ray was afraid of the awesome responsibility of parenthood and he was also worried he wouldn't be as good a father as his brother was. Pete's son, Michael, was still hurt because his mother had left a year ago. This film is about people who have to learn to forgive each other for various things. Only by working together can they survive the journey!
Tom Wopat and John Schneider are excellent as feuding brothers.
Hoyt Axton is great as Pete and Ray's late father's business partner. Kim Delaney is perfect as the estranged and pregnant wife. Zachary Ansley is fantastic as the disrupted teenager.
If you like warm and fuzzy moments you will love this. With John
Schneider and Tom Wopat starring in it what more could you want in a film?

Why Christmas?
Why call it a Christmas movie?
The "Cristmas" part of this film is the least fun,the least interesting and the least memorable!
The best part of this movie is the first part,where brothers Ray(Schneider)and Pete(Wopat)fight eachother and their memories of a childhood where they were labeled the bad and the good guy respectively. There is some good stuff here,and at its best,the two brothers resemble Junior and Curly in "Junior Bonner",but at it`s worst,it`s just sadly sentimental.

Christmas Season
This movie reminds us of the reasons for the Holiday season. It brings back the family and should be watched by adults and children of all ages. It is a current movie that updates "It is a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. I can't begin my Holiday season without watching this movie. My children look forward to watching this movie every year and they are now teenagers. I highly recomend this movie. ... Read more

This series needs to be on DVD
With similar genre shows like Barretta out on DVD, and with 70's chic back in style, it only makes sense. The Street of San Francisco deserves to be in the world again.

A solid beginning
After a rather exotic "movie of the week" debut, the Streets of San Francisco" settled down to relating plainer stories of police drama, as in the case of Mike Stone's former partner, who still patrols a beat, suddenly getting shot. It's an interesting reversal of roles; Stone, the experienced cop, goes impulsive with concern and a desire for revenge. It's up to his young partner, who is still learning the ropes, to watch out for him. We see a cop and an acting team evolving in this episode; Michael Douglas, still the new kid on the block, never tries to outdo his older, more experienced acting partner. By underplaying he lets Malden reveal what won him a supporting actor Oscar, and in turn reveals himself as a team player. Douglas went on in this series to play more vivid scenes, and I enjoy see him evolve as an actor. But part of me always enjoys him supporting Malden and Malden in turn supporting him--particularly in a difficult scene in the end. Mike Stone is reopening communication by casually offering to spring for lunch, and Steve Keller says none is needed in his quiet reply "I got my own bread."

get this series on DVD!
i watch THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO everyday on WGTW channel 48. what i wish for more than anything else is for this TV series to come out on DVD. i see BARETTA out on DVD, SWAT is in the process of DVD release as well as CHARLIE'S ANGELS. THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO is among the cop shows that's a must for fans of the show just like me that is a must for DVD.

please do whatever is necessary to get this TV show on DVD, i love it! ... Read more

The Best Show
I love watching charlie's angels. I am looking for a certain epsiode that I can't find on tape it seems. It's either called Let Our Angel Live or To Kill an Angel the final episode. That is my favorite. If anyone knows or has this epsiode please email me, [e-mail address]I wish they would make a Charlie's Angels reunion movie. With all of the angel's. I can't wait o see the new movie Charlie's Angels's 2, I heard jaclyn smith is supposed to star in it with cameron diaz,and lucy lui. Hopefully it will be good.

Angels forever....
The series was based on three female detectives who worked for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency. Charlie, who was their anonymous boss, gave them assignments via a speaker phone. The show was based on guns, hair, and make-up. The trio consisted of Sabrina Ducan (Kate Jackson) best known for being the "smart angel," Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett) known as the "athelic angel," and rounding out the team was "street wise" Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith). The Angels worked with their trusty male counter-part, John Bosley, played by David Doyle.

Charlie's Angels was a huge success the moment it hit the airwaves. Each Wednesday night, around 10 o'clock, women tuned in for the clothing and hair, while men just tuned in.

Contains two tapes of the Angels battling the bad guys. features two tapes Angels in Chains and Angels Under Covers. Each tape contains two episodes:

Angels in Chains features: 1- AGELS IN CHAINS (10/20/76): in which the Angels infiltrate a prison with a secret brothel. Guest stars: Kim Basinger, Lauren Tewes, Christina Hart. 2- THE BLUE ANGELS (05/04/77): The Angels find themselves barely covered in a massage parlor while investigating a prostitution ring. Guest stars: Dirk Benedict.

Angels Under Covers features: 1- TO KILL AN ANGEL (11/10/76): Kelly helps a young boy and finds herself accidentally shot by a gun that was used to kill someone else moments before in an amusement park. 2- NIGHT OF THE STRANGLER (10/13/76): The Angels go undercover to find who is killing high fashion models. Guest stars: Richard Mulligan. ... Read more

ONe of those classic 80s tv movies
I remember seeing this on tv as a kid and it freaked me out!!!
A family, parents and two small children move into a new house and soon strange things began happening. first of all the younger daughter sees her older sister who died in a car accident a year ago. the sister tells her to help her get rid of the famiuly for deserting her so one by one they go until only the daughter and one parent are left. what is so creepy about this movie is you never know until the very very end the truth. is this girl nuts and killing her family? or is she really seeing her dead sister? everyone does a good job. valerie harper as the mom, dennis harper as the dad ruth gordon as the grandma. I have seen this several times and each time it is still creepy. see this and dark night of the scarecrow. two classic 80's horrors. these are good creepy horror psychological movies. not [material] they make now like scream and i know what you did last summer! ...

why do they ruin good old shows?
Why do they always have to ruin good old TV shows by making reunions and sequels? So many classics have been ruined like this -- STAR TREK, BURKES LAW, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, TWILIGHT ZONE, GET SMART, and, sadly, KUNG FU. I thought this 1986 film was awful -- then, later, when I watched KUNG FU: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, it didn't seem as bad (NOTHING was as bad as KF:TLC!). Still, this is pretty awful, and let's hope they don't release KUNG FU: THE NEXT GENERATION (the one-hour sequel that CBS aired in 1987) or KF:TLC.

Beautiful
I liked the film, although Brandon Lee (one of my favourate martial arts performer) did not appear so often in the film. D. Carradine was great.

ONLY ONE GOOD AND PROPER FIGHT SCENE
This film Kung Fu the movie woulld appeal to most people but I do not like it. It is a bore. The end fight with Cardine and Brandon is good but even that is slow. It is not a great film but if you like a film with one good fight in it feel free to get this. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN $5 FOR IT

Very Good
Brandon Lee is a very great martial artist, and as much as a role he had in this film it was enough to light up the screen and create a wonderful movie, I am a martial artist and have studied the martial arts my whole life just to be like my idol...Brandon Lee.

A message of non violence, a war against drugs.
After the tv series, with the same title and actor & character a movie its not as good as the tv series. The story is very slow. There should be some more suspence & action full movements. David Carradine seemed a super human. Its very far from real life. He should make film like his tv series. ... Read more
