Toward The Unknown Region - Malcolm Arnold A Story Of Survival DVD

Advantages: Great Effects, Story
Disadvantages: NONE!!

...The granddaddy of the creature and horror genre, Predator made a mark in history that like never before, made in 1987 this success story was based on pure action and a structure second to none. This movie made the break for Arnold Schwarzenegger and if it was for this you never know maybe Arnold never would get a contract for T2 and wouldn’t be governor of such a huge economy today. It was all about Arnold and his team of elite warriors who were selected for a rescue and assault mission in Vietnam. Now other force could do this because Arnold’s troops were state of the art in terms of training, weaponry, tactics, you name it!

Advantages: Good Extra’s, Good Film
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

Advantages: Classic Schwarznegger lines and action
Disadvantages: A no brainer

...hear a sweet female voice telling us we can get bonus credits for reporting those needing "re-education"; double credit is offered for family members! Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarznegger) is a military officer who is called to investigate a riot in the Bakersfield region of California. He refuses, as ordered, to open fire on the unarmed crowd, and is summarily knocked cold by his comrades and then framed for the massacre. To use one of Arnold's famous lines, 'big mistake!'. In his subsuquent escape from prison he finds himself under the attention of Damon Killian (Richard Dawson) the game show host of The Running Man, the most popular show of all time. This game show is an oppurtunity for life time convicts to get a possibility at 're-trial, trial by jury or full pardon' by surviving the Stalkers across a vast game zone. Comically, Richard...
