5-0 out of 5 stars Romantic!
Probably the most romantic series - or movie - I've ever seen! The spin it puts on the "Beauty and the Beast" scenerio points out what is truly important in a relationship. A second aspect of the series is that I find it also fuels the imagination for what might really be going on in the great cities' underground subway systems. You never know.....

5-0 out of 5 stars "I'm Not One of the Bad Guys, Cathy"
So says Elliot Burch to Catherine Chandler, a woman who has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Before long Vincent and Father become trapped when a section of the tunnels caves in, and Catherne finds herself in the awkward position of begging for help from a man she has previously judged unfit for her company. She needs equipment from Elliot (no questions asked) in order to have hope of excavating Vincent and Father from the cave-in. The episode has some sharply-written dialogue between Vincent and Father as they endure their difficult circumstances in the best humor possible. The interaction between Catherine and Elliot is also well-done, and there is a memorable ending between Vincent and Catherine.

2-0 out of 5 stars Episode is Less Than a Treasure
The Tunnel Dwellers find a priceless buried treasure and begin to bicker over what to do with the contents. One Tunnel Dweller becomes consumed with greed and resorts to violence to get what he wants. You've seen this type of thing before, and this episode breathes no new life into the story.

4-0 out of 5 stars Paracelsus sends Vincent on an Unexpected "Trip"
The tunnel dwellers find themselves in a dilemna as the producer of a dangerous recreational drug responsible for many deaths Above turns out be a man (called Paracelsus) whom they exiled many years ago. How can they stop Paracelsus without taking the risk that he will expose the existence of the tunnel society to the authorities Above? Vincent takes this task upon himself, but he finds Paracelsus to be a formidable foe. There is some good drama here, and this is the episode that introduces us to the enigmatic Paracelsus.

4-0 out of 5 stars "We Can't Let Them Hurt the Helpless Ones"
So says Vincent to Catherine as he enlists her aid in rescuing children from an abusive foster home. Vincent and Catherine work as a team in this one and triumph over the bad guys (as you might expect). I think it works pretty well (contrary to the producers of the series, who reportedly thought this episode among the weakest). There are some nice moments between Vincent and Catherine here, and a little more comic relief than is usual for this series.

5-0 out of 5 stars Will Catherine Ever See "That Heavenly Face" Again?
Catherine gets a job offer in Providence, Rhode Island that would make for a spectacular career advancement. She is reluctant to take it because it would mean leaving New York and moving away from Vincent. She consults him on the matter. Though Vincent can scarcely bear the thought of her moving away, he knows that he is all that is standing between Catherine and the job opportunity. He is too noble and self-sacrificing to allow himself to stand between Catherine and ANYTHING that might be good for her, so he lies through his fangs and tells her that the best thing for BOTH OF THEM is for her to go to Providence and fulfill her potential (though, of course, it will only make both of them miserable). But he talks her into it. Afterwards, deeply distressed, he walks out of the tunnels without, perhaps, taking his usual care in concealing his identity. He is captured by a scientist. The scientist studies him as one might a lab animal and plans to unveil him to the world as a great discovery (I will note here that parts of the episode don't hold up to strict standards of plausibility). Catherine eventually manages to track him down and assist Vincent to freedom. The final scene is one of the most powerfully-moving in the entire series. In it Catherine leaves no doubt as to who her "heart's best treasure" is, or whose "heavenly face" she feared she would never see again. There will be no more talk of moving away from New York for a job offer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking and warm ending.
A once in a lifetime opportunity brings Catherine's life to a heartbreaking decision. Faced with the possibility of loosing Catherine, Vincent falls victim of despair. I liked the episode because it shows the depth of Vincent's love and the dangers he faces upon venturing Above. It also brings Father to face the truth about the love Vincent and Catherine share and his opposition to it. Great shot of Vincent's eyes! Heartwrenching begining but heartwarming ending.

5-0 out of 5 stars Captured and caged like an animal, Vincent prepares to die.
When Catherine accepts a transfer to Providence, RI, Vincent tries to be happy for her sake, yet he's emotionally ravaged. In a moment when he's less than cautious, he's trapped above, caged, and experimented on like an animal. With Catherine's help, he's freed, and she finally admits to herself she cannot leave him - ever, because she loves him more than her own life. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars I didn't care for it
No action so Dolph Lundgren fans won't be happy. No acting so Art film lovers won't be happy. as David Soul is laughable as a Neo-Nazi coach silly and violent but lifeless action scenes ruin the film. give it a rental if your a Dolph-in fan others run away!

5-0 out of 5 stars Pentathlon
Dolph Lundgren plays Eric Brogar, a part of the east german pentathlete squad competing in the 1988 Seoul olympics, he defects to the U.S.A buts gets a bullet in the leg for his troubles, and soon spirals downwards into a pit of despair and depravity, needless to say he conquers his inner demons and starts to compete again , although not without opposistion from the stasi(East German secret police).... To watch this film you need firstly to suspend belief, the plot in all truth is quite ludicrous, but strangely enjoyable, it is lighthearted for most of the time, and has some cracking comedy elements in it(intentional or not, i don't know!), This film is also produced by Dolph Lundgren, so he gets a meatier part than normal , and this shows in the overall ethos of the film, If you like Dolph you'll love this, if you don't you will still find it watchable.

2-0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing!
I am sorry to break this to you guys but this was pretty dissapointing. The best parts were the fencing which was tame, to say the least. Yet if you like a more dramatic film than one filled with action this may be your thing. The acting was reasonable and the plot hard to understand unless you understand the history, morals, society and conflicts of Eastern Germany! MR L should stick to the ACTION films!

5-0 out of 5 stars Elliot and Catherine, Together Forever?
Elliot Burch, eligible young real estate tycoon and Catherine's once and would-be boyfriend, is erecting what would be the world's tallest building. The laying of the foundation for the building threatens the very existence of the tunnel community. An anguished Catherine thinks she has a plan for stopping Burch's tower, but only at the cost of heartbreak for both Vincent and her. This intense drama builds to a harrowing emotional climax. The conclusion, making great use of the Shelley poem from which the episode derives its title, ENLARGES the story and elevates Elliot from an interesting character to a tragic figure.

In 1998 I conducted a poll among Beauty and the Beast fans asking them to rate the 44 episodes of the first two seasons on a 1-to-10 scale. 31 fans participated. "Ozymandias" finished 8th out of the 44 episodes.

When Vincent's world is threatened by the building of a gigantic skyscraper, Catherine must intervene to save it. This is one of the finest episodes this wonderful series ever produced, combining all the elements that fans of the show love: heart-wrenching drama, suspense, a tried-and-true nemesis, gripping romance, and the beautiful poetry-reading of Ron Perlman. His rendition of the title poem is the icing on the cake. Simply stunning. If you like this show, this is a must-see! ... Read more

A young woman of the tunnels named Laura (who happens to be deaf) witnesses a murder when she ventures above ground. Vincent enlists Catherine's aid in helping Laura report to the authorities Above. But the murderer has other ideas for Laura. This is fairly routine television for the most part, but there are some nice moments between Vincent and Laura.

5-0 out of 5 stars The "Beast" emerges!
When Vincent's old friend returns with a vengence he gets caught up in an investigation pursued by Catherine. Despite Vincent's warning, Catherine continues the risky case only to be shot by Vincent's enemy. This results in a harsh Vincent, but a sweet ending. Best Quote: "If you die, so do I."

3-0 out of 5 stars "A Life Without You Would be Unbearable"
So says Vincent to Catherine as he frets over her safety after she takes on a case that involves organized crime. The episode has some virtues. There are some nice moments between Vincent and Catherine, and the villain is a little more interesting than most, owing to the fact that he has boyhood ties to Vincent. But it is not one of the more plausible episodes. In one particularly ludicrous moment, Vincent abandons a bleeding and unconscious Catherine (who has been shot!) on the steps outside a hospital so he can pursue vengeance on those who shot her. Wouldn't the top priority be getting medical care for Catherine? I would think that getting her medical attention would be more important than concealing his identity, even, if it came to that. How long might she lie out there unattended? Of course (as luck would have it!) a medical person saunters out of the hospital right after Vincent leaves and immediately takes responsibility for the situation.

A slick, sometimes over the top action adventure set in New York City during the end of the disco era, Nighthawks stars Sylvester Stallone as a hotshot New York cop with a troubled personal life drawn into an international terrorist vendetta. Stallone and partner Billy Dee Williams are recruited into a covert operation to stop an infamous terrorist named Wulfgar (Rutger Hauer), whom they believe to be in New York. Soon a cat-and-mouse game ensues between the blue-collar cop and the refined terrorist through the streets, discotheques, and subways of the city. And then things get personal as Wulfgar targets Stallone's wife (Lindsay Wagner). A fairly routine but well-photographed action thriller with the usual fast-paced adrenaline rush sequences for which Stallone has become famous. --Robert Lane ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A small gem
This film plays a bit like an 80s French Connection. Sylvester Stallone stars in a low-key role that works very well but didn't seem to resonate with audiences the way his Rocky did. He's quieter, human, and intense.

Nighthawks (a rather nonsensical title) concerns international terrorist Wulfar (Rutger Hauer's American film debut), now persona non grata among major terrorist networks after an overdone IRA-commissioned bombing in London, fleeing to New York in order to garner maximum publicity and sell himself back to major terrorist organizations. Sensing the terrorist-for-hire's power play hopes, and guessing that New York would be the likely target, a British Interpol officer travels to the city in order to brief chosen police officers in counter-terrorist tactics as part of ATAC (Anti-Terrorist Action Command).

Part of the chosen officers include Sgt. Deke DaSilva (Stallone) and his partner Sgt. Matt Fox (Billy Dee Williams). Both are reluctant to change duties and are not serious about training, and DaSilva has reservations about risking civilians in a hostage situation.

What follows is a cat-and-mouse through New York that features a couple of exciting and well-filmed sequences. While it seems a bit far-fetched that DaSilva and Fox would bump into Wulfgar one night in a crowded disco, the action scenes make up for it and highlight New York locations well. Especially memorable is the hijacking of the Roosevelt Island tram car. (I can't look at it today without thinking of this film).

The performances are solid across the board. Stallone is engaging in the lead and is quieter than we're used to. The supporting cast includes veteran character Joe Spinell as a surly police lieutenant, Lindsay Wagner as DaSilva's estranged wife, the dusky Persis Khambata as Wulfgar's ruthless aid, and Nigel Davenport as Hartman, the Interpol officer. Rutger Hauer is perfect as the sly and suave terrorist. His talents would be highlighted in films like Blade Runner, Flesh and Blood, and The Hitcher over the years, though unfortunately he seems to have fallen to straight-to-video material in the last 10 years.

The DVD is a little bit underwhelming. For one, it's not in widescreen, which is a real shame. The full-screen treatment does not do justice to the NYC locations, especially the aerial shots of the tram and the ATAC chopper, or the opening subway encounter. The picture is good but rather grainy, and the sound is fine, better than the VHS version. The extras include some cursory production notes and the original, rather underwhelming trailer. Overall, I'd recommend this DVD for fans of the film because of the very reasonable price. The picture and sound are better than the VHS, and it's a good pickup for a small early-80s gem. Keith Emerson's score is easily one of his best. Hopefully it will one day be released to CD.

4-0 out of 5 stars One of the few gems in Stallone's action film catalogue
A first-rate thriller 'Nighthawks' begins with a bang (literally!) and never lets ups. A top-notch cast, great use of New York City locations and a story that becomes more riveting as it develops further distinguish it. This film was made and released in 1981, a few short years before Sylvester Stallone would begin making his blockbuster mainstream action films like 'First Blood', 'Cobra' and continuing the 'Rocky' series. He has portrayed a variety of "heroes" on film but all of them pale in comparison to the character of Deke DaSilva, the New York City policeman he brings to life here. 'Nighthawks' has a plot that is timelier than ever before and DaSilva is the kind of hero that everyone is hoping for amidst all the concern over the threat of terrorism striking again in America - or anywhere else for that matter.

Stallone is aces as DaSilva and Billy Dee Williams as his edgy partner Matthew Fox is equally as good. DaSilva and Fox are fervently committed to their assignment to the NYC police force's decoy unit working the graveyard shift. Rutger Hauer plays a consciousless terrorist named Wulfgar who in the beginning of the movie plants a bomb in a London department store during midday. Moments after the bomb explodes he calls the international press to claim responsibility for his terrorist faction. Days later, when Wulfgar is considered more of a liability than an effective member of the team by his faction, he relocates to NYC to demonstrate his own brand of intimidation through violence. Interpol agent Peter Hartman, played by the British film actor Nigel Davenport, arrives in NYC to train a newly organized anti-terrorist task force of the city's police force. DaSilva And Fox are assigned to the unit and they initially object vehemently to it but later accept it after a few trials and tribulations with Hartman. Eventually the two policemen pick up the trail of the murderous and destructive Wulfgar who continually evades capture until the climax of the film - one of the best surprise endings you'll ever see in a movie.

The story is the real star here with action taking a secondary stage. In the beginning we see DaSilva and Fox in their urban setting capturing some deadly would-be muggers then switching immediately to London and Wulfgar planting a bomb in a busy store during the same day. The parallel we're supposed to draw is that the pair of gritty and municipal minded police officers will face their biggest challenge in attempting to capture the slick, conniving and elusive international terrorist. And the story's progression is perfect, never moving too quickly or filled with illogical leaps of reasoning. Each filming location is well chosen and used to great effectiveness, with the tramcar sequence a memorable standout. Despite being made in 1981 'Nighthawks' contains no noticeable elements that date it too terribly, even the disco scene remains surprisingly contemporary in appearance (except for the fashions maybe).

Other noteworthy items include the then hugely popular Lindsay Wagner, of television's "The Bionic Woman", who appears briefly in the beginning as DaSilva's unlikely love interest, an upscale clothing fashion designer; character actor and cult favorite Joe Spinell is cast as DaSilva's and Fox's superior, Lt. Munafo, appearing in some of the film's key scenes. For a double feature pair this with either 'Cliffhanger', another superior Stallone action vehicle, or 'The Package', a Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones movie with a vaguely similar theme.

3-0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Soundtrack altered for Universal DVD release!
This happens to be one of my favorite films/guilty pleasures (the flick on its own easily rates 5 stars), but just wanted to make sure that fans knew that this new Universal DVD release has a *severely* altered soundtrack from the theatrical and earlier home video/DVD releases. This is so unfortunate, as I was excited about finally (for the first time ever) being able to see 'Nighthawks' in widescreen. While the picture hasn't been remastered for this edition, it is a noticeable improvement over the 2001 GoodTimes DVD full-screen release. However, in one of the truly key scenes of the film - where DaSilva (Stallone) discovers Wulfgar (Hauer) in the club - the songs 'Brown Sugar' by the Rolling Stones and Keith Emerson's amazing cover of the Spencer Davis Group's 'I'm a Man' are completely removed and replaced with the lamest possible generic, 70's-era stock music. Words cannot describe how this soundtrack change alters the entire mood of the scene ... it's simply not pretty to watch and is a painful bastardization of the original release. Just wanted everyone to be aware of this change on the new DVD release - I had no idea until it was too late. For those looking for the intact original, theatrical release on DVD, I would sadly still have to recommend seeking out a copy of the (now out-of-print) GoodTimes release. The picture may not be quite as clear as the new Universal DVD, but at least you're getting the Director's complete version of the film. Apparently, the world STILL awaits a definititve DVD version of this minor masterpiece ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Get this new Widescreen version.
Stallone has some of his best work here. A good movie with a view on terrorism that was ahead of it's time. Most of the other reviews refer to a substandard release from another company called good times video, that is full screen and often comes in a musty DVD case, bad times. This one is a nice new widescreen release.

3-0 out of 5 stars One of Sly's best (No cheeky comments in this review!!)
NIGHTHAWKS has got to be one of my fave Stallone movies. I know I've taken the mickey out of him on numerous occassions, but this is pretty good, despite being a bit dated. Directed by Bruce Malmuth (HARD TO KILL) and with music by Keith Emerson of ELP, NIGHTHAWKS is a fast paced and exciting thriller which will have viewers overlooking its plot inconsistancies.
Rutger Hauer plays Wulfgar, a terrorist who heads to NYC to play a game of cat and mouse with the cops. Cops Deke DaSilva (Sly) and Matt Fox (Billy Dee Williams) are assigned the task of tracking him to London and New York to stop his reign of terror. Unfortunately Wulfgar always manages to remain a step ahead of them... most of the time.
There's not much of a plot, but from the opening credits NIGHTHAWKS hooks the viewer. Early on we get to see the almost unrecognizable Sly in drag... until the beard gives him away. There are also some great stunts at the climax where Wulfgar has a group of cable car passengers held hostage. The movie also co-stars the late Persis Khambatta (best known as the bald alien Ilia in STAR TREK 1) as Wulfgar's partner; an especially delectable Lindsey Wagner as Sly's girlfriend and last but not least; as a fashion designer, Jamie Gillis; ... Why he hasn't won a slew of Oscars is beyond me.
The DVD quality is actually pretty good, the picture is sharp and the sound clear. The few extras include the movies trailer and subtitles. But at this price it's a good bargain for those who want to update their VHS copies. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars THE GOOD OL DAYS OF STEVEN SEAGAL
AFTER SPENDING 7 YEARS IN A COMA, A COP [STEVEN SEAGAL] GOES AFTER SOME CORRUPT PEOPLE THAT KILLED HIS WIFE. THIS MOVIE SHOWS THE OLD STEVEN SEAGAL THAT ACTION FANS REMEMBER AND LOVE. THIS MOVIE HAS GOOD ACTION AND A LOT OF EXCITEMENT, WHICH IS MISSING FROM A LOT OF SEAGAL'S RECENT MOVIES. FOR FANS OF SEAGAL, THIS SHOULD BE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Seagal flick of all time
Many reviewers will not give credit where credit is due. Seagal is a master in his art, and a good actor with great on screen presence. Hard to Kill is Seagal's best film ever. This is an action film, when was the last time an action film was supposed to be completely realistic. In this movie Seagal's character is Mason Storm, a high ranking detective who is violently murdered along with his wife by hitmen (fellow LAPD detectives) whom are corrupt and close-knit with an up and coming senatorial candidate Vernon Trent, after he learns of Seagal secretly taping a planned hit of his while undercover at a dock (beginning of the movie). The bad guys think Storm is dead when he suddenly appears to be alive but in a coma. Storm's best bud and fellow detective keeps it a secret for 7 years until Storm awakens from the coma. From there it's pure action as he both tries to escape the grasps of the bad guys once again and heal, and deliver some much deserved payback. Hence the name "Hard to Kill". To any Seagal fanatic, this is his best film ever, hands down. Everyone else who is just an action movie buff might not think so, but then they truly don't understand what Seagal is all about including his great martial arts backround and poise. This flick is great suspense and adreneline with a stupendous story, so grab the nachos, popcorn, snowcaps, goobers, sodapop or whatever, and hit the lazyboy and relax, and get ready to see an awesome film. If you're new to Seagal, start with his first flick "Above the Law", then this one, and go from there. If you want to see a most horrible Seagal film, see one of his latest flicks "Half Past Dead" Seagal gets a bad rap due to his more recent films in the mid 90's till now when he gained a lot of weight and picked and directed bad scripts and screenwrites while resting on his early accomplishments. Hard to Kill, however is pure action, and you can take that to the bank!

2-0 out of 5 stars Hard to Watch...
Don't get me wrong, I love these types of films but this one took WAY too long to get going. Once it did nothing great really happened. LOTS of broken wrists and arms but no really interesting action sequences. This director is no substitute for Andrew Davis. From what I've seen of Seagals movies, I rate Under Seige and Above the Law as his finest moments, and both were under the direction of Andrew Davis...

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Action Scenes!
Hard to Kill is an entertaining movie filled with some very impressve action scenes, ok acting and an interesting story though sometimes the dialogue is a little corny but the action scenes are the best part of the movie and I recommend Hard to Kill to fans of action movies.

4-0 out of 5 stars Not what I remembered, but...
I had these memories of Hard to Kill being an awesome movie. Back in the late 80's it was, but according to today's standards it's pretty tame stuff. Maybe we're all spoiled. I no longer consider this one of his best movies (-1 star). I liked him in The Patriot and Glimmer Man, for instance. Nevertheless, this movie has a place in action film history. Back in the late 80's, early 90's Steven Seagal was the premiere action star. So this movie is a must-have as one of the better Seagal films (4 stars). It's a classic action film of days gone by. Although you can still see Seagal in his latest efforts playing the same role, this file was his second and was one of the two that put him at the top. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars I didn't care for it
No action so Dolph Lundgren fans won't be happy. No acting so Art film lovers won't be happy. as David Soul is laughable as a Neo-Nazi coach silly and violent but lifeless action scenes ruin the film. give it a rental if your a Dolph-in fan others run away!

5-0 out of 5 stars Pentathlon
Dolph Lundgren plays Eric Brogar, a part of the east german pentathlete squad competing in the 1988 Seoul olympics, he defects to the U.S.A buts gets a bullet in the leg for his troubles, and soon spirals downwards into a pit of despair and depravity, needless to say he conquers his inner demons and starts to compete again , although not without opposistion from the stasi(East German secret police).... To watch this film you need firstly to suspend belief, the plot in all truth is quite ludicrous, but strangely enjoyable, it is lighthearted for most of the time, and has some cracking comedy elements in it(intentional or not, i don't know!), This film is also produced by Dolph Lundgren, so he gets a meatier part than normal , and this shows in the overall ethos of the film, If you like Dolph you'll love this, if you don't you will still find it watchable.

2-0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing!
I am sorry to break this to you guys but this was pretty dissapointing. The best parts were the fencing which was tame, to say the least. Yet if you like a more dramatic film than one filled with action this may be your thing. The acting was reasonable and the plot hard to understand unless you understand the history, morals, society and conflicts of Eastern Germany! MR L should stick to the ACTION films!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Movie Very realistic
