5 Stars It’s Arnold, Just Buy it.
Guys,common. It’s Arnold. Sell your old dvd’s and replace them. Arnold deserves to get the Blu treatment.
5 Stars Great Bluray conversion
I’m in love with this movie since I had first saw it back in 90th…..great conversion to Bluray…..I’m happy that I got this movie on Bluray (not like 12 Monkeys and Waterworld which sucked). Good job! Highly recomend to any Shwartz lovers…..
5 Stars Finally I get to see this with captions
I am deaf and been dying to watching this movie with captions. Now about time I get to see this movie with one! VHS video long time ago does not have captions and DVD as well I think. I have not be able to get watch this for long long long time. This is like new movie to me ha ha. BTW I am deaf and am so glad Blu Ray movies have all titles with subtitles… love the blu rays!!!! They rulz!!
5 Stars James and Arnold, a daring duo
A fun shoot-im-up with lots of good chase scenes and a few good plot twists. One of the things that make the movie is Arnold going around strait faced and like the terminator without the metal endoskeleton.
Thoroughly rotten bad guy and drug dealer Viktor Rostavile `Rosta’ (Ed O’Toss) flees the USSR after encountering Capt. Ivan Danko `USSR State Police’. We find that he has big plans in Chicago where he plans to do a deal with Abdul Elijah `incarcerated Revolutionary political leader’ (Brent Jennings). Abdul has an agenda of his own. Everyone’s plans must be adjusted as Danko turns up in Chicago and teams up with Det. Sgt. Art Ridzik `Chicago Police Dept.’ (James Belushi) to track down and retrieve Rosta.
In the process of tracking we meet all kinds of dangerous criminals and beautiful women. Ridzik almost gets killed because of his instant affinity with a blond wayward nurse; he is in for a surprise. We also have the obligatory vehicle chase scene with a different twist.
Aside from the main players there are quite a few recognizable character actors which add significantly the movie.
4 Stars Doubts all gone, now that I have watched it.
Read the reviews of the BluRay on two other sites and they weren’t very favorable. This is after I had already ordered it from Amazon. It isn’t reference quality by any means. There are some soft scenes, and I noticed a few artifacts. But this BluRay is so much better than the non-anamorpic DVD, which was the only version I had. Am really glad it’s finally out on BluRay, now if only I could get Raw Deal, Running Man, True Lies, Red Sonja and the Conan the Barbarian movies on BluRay.
