Action & Adventure > 1966 Action & Adventure

Advantages: Includes breathtaking real racing footage, and cameos by real drivers of the 1960s!
Disadvantages: None!

...F1, I wasn't sure about Grand Prix until I saw it. This has to be the BEST racing movie EVER! This film is packed with racing from start to finish - Monte Carlo (looked a bit different then!), Spa, Brands Hatch, Monza (including racing on the old banked circuit!) - it was made in conjunction with the 1966 F1 season, and includes genuine racing footage from races that year, as well as appearances by drivers such as Graham Hill & Jochen Rindt. How ...
...the more astounding how fantastic Grand Prix the movie is - at several points where there is in-car footage you find yourself leaning with the car in to corners - something that I can't say I've done before watching a DVD on the small screen. The accompanying documentary makes it all the more apparent what work had to go in to create the real effects - involving cameras mounted in complex ways to real racing cars being driven by real racing drivers ...

Advantages: Could say a great period piece of entertainment
Disadvantages: This was released over 40 years ago!!!

...status. This could only be Batman the Movie. Released in 1966, the movie version of the successful and ever popular TV series not only launched the Dynamic Duo overseas but also meant that additional funding could be resourced which financially preserved the series for future production. The premise is exactly the same as the TV series and Director Leslie Martinson has not changed a single thing, in fact this plays out like three episodes have been ...
...four best known enemies of Batman team up with a plan to hold the world to ransom. The villains include The Joker, Catwoman, The Penguin and The Riddler. Usually having one in an episode is manic enough, but actually having all four of them in the same film is not only raising the bar but going totally atmospheric!!! The good thing is the idea works well as they are all different in some way and have something to offer, as you have Riddler leaving ... Read review

Advantages: So so cool.
Disadvantages: none really.

...off Tetsu. Tetsu leaves Tokyo and Kurata, wanting to become a 'drifter'. However, Tetsu is continually pursued by Viper Tatsu, a hitman sent by Otsuka to kill him. After escaping several times with the help of Kenji, who used to be one of Otsuka's men and now is a drifter, Tetsu realised that someone else is trying to kill him too. Review: [director] Suzuki was brilliant in directing this film, and it is of no wonder that he is said to be one of ...
...movie with black and white film, moving to colour film for the main bulk. He used great bold colours in the composition of the shots - one bar is strictly white, while the rival boss wears strictly red. The use of colours really complemented the film. [music] The songs in this film are absolutelu outstanding. Both Tetsu and Chiharu (Tetsu's 'lover', although Tetsu is far too manly to admit that) sang in the film (although I am not sure whether they ... Read review

Advantages: Anybody can enjoy it.
Disadvantages: None

...going to be appearing in Die Hard i thought, brilliant. Bruce Willis is an amazing actor. The performance he gave was spectacular. He is one f the greatest actors in my opinion, when it comes to action films. The plot was very well thought out. I loved the film and the next 3 films that were produced after, were phenomenal. Also Alan Rickman playing a bad guy was a match made in heaven. His voice was perfect when he was giving Bruce an ultimatum. ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of action.
Disadvantages: Not much of a story.

When I watched Rambo I was pleasently suprised. These days films like this are bringing out yet another, most turn out to be dissapointing. A prime example being Terminator. The first two films being excellent for their time, and the 3rd adding something which I feel wasn't needed. This is what I was expecting when I put this film into the DVD player. However, I genuinly enjoyed this film, in a Rambo fan way. The film again does not fail to please ...
...disspointment with this film was the lack of real storyline. Many people may watch this and think, its just an excuse for over the top violence and blood. Yet this is one of the things which attracts people to Rambo. If your looking for a DVD with lots of graphic killing and none stop action, then this is the film for you. Despite his age Stallone is still going strong! Top notch! ... Read review
