Funnyman Martin Short (INNERSPACE) plays an inept, klutzy bank robber who, on his first heist, grabs Nick Nolte (DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS, 48 HRS.) as a hostage. Nolte plays a notorious ex-con who is trying to go sraight, so naturally, no one believes he's innocent or Short guilty, forcing the mismatched pair to become reluctant partners in crime. Add to the mix-up Short's adorable six-year-old daughter who desperately tries to keep this very odd couple together on a hilarious wheel-screeching run for the Canadian border! There's no escaping laughers with miles of slapstick humor and nonstop adventure in this box office winner!

Iam not at all happy that i could not watch this product the three fugitives and 83 hours til dawn and am unable to buy this product in Australia. I think it suck that dvds have region departments and can only be watched in some countries People should be able to buy a product and be able to watch it. The sooner a dvd comes out that is able to be watched in all countries the better.

It was time for Sylvester Stallone to say "enough, already" to the boxing hero he plays in the popular Rocky film series, but instead Stallone kept the saga going by pushing Rocky into Rambo territory. The 1985 Rocky IV finds the Italian stallion pitted against a seemingly unbeatable Russian monster named Drago (Dolph Lundgren) who lets his wife (Stallone's then-wife, Brigitte Nielsen) do all the talking. With a mighty punch, Drago has sent Rocky's former opponent and trainer Apollo Creed to an early grave, and the boxer responds with the ultimate challenge. Even the Russians are rooting for Rocky, so it's not hard to guess how the film ends. Despite Stallone's claims to the contrary, this installment was followed by Rocky V in 1990. --Jeff Shannon

Description

East meets West when Rocky takes on a vicious Soviet fighter who literally killed his last opponent! Sylvester Stallone writes, directs and stars in this war between nations in which the only battle is fought in a boxing ring. Rocky Balboa (Stallone) proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a six-foot-four-inch, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimentakes him to icy Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to facea powerfully charged fight to the finish in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country!

A question of honor and something else!.......2007-06-19

Rocky IV meant (as no other sequel a symbol of power in the huge geopolitical staggering U.R.S.S. The metaphor is so obvious that hardly may be better described. This time Rocky has to make an act of justice when his friend Apollo Creed dies in combat against Ivan Drago, the new Soviet techno machine, a sort of Caucasian Terminator; Apollo was in fact his past rival in Rocky II, helped professional and spiritually to win that infernal combat in the third sequel.

In this opportunity the chances are against him, Drago is a merciless and menacing fighter, who embodies the spirit of a nation, historically adverse to the Western hemisphere.

Sylvester Stallone didn't waste this historical opportunity to carve in relief two different ways of thinking, living and fighting.

Pretty low on the Rocky list........2007-06-17

I rank the Rocky films this way, from best to worst:
Rocky
Rocky Balboa
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV
Rocky V (can we all just pretend that one never happened?)
Note that my top two are the ones in which Rocky lost the fight, but won something bigger. Those films were not just good boxing movies, but good movies, period.
Rocky IV is not exacly horrible, but it's certainly not good. Some of it is downright stupid; what idiot writer put in the robot that has artificial intelligence? (Rocky: "I'll get the call inside." Robot: "You can get it right here!"). The James Brown extravaganza, with Apollo dancing in a really, really silly outfit, was just plain weird. Then there's the fact that Drago's 1400 psi punch killed Apollo -- but later he doubled the power to 2800 psi, and despite jackhammering Rocky with that superhuman power over and over and over, Rocky just kept walking into more punches. And the worst part of all was Rocky's "can't we all just get along" speech to the Russian crowd, which switched its allegiance from Drago to Rocky because...because... well, I don't know why they cheered wildly for the guy who beat their national idol. Because the script called for it, I guess.
In the end, I think this movie is a classic "guilty pleasure". It's fun to watch the Rocky/Drago training montage (which could also be viewed as a metaphor for human will triumphing over machine perfection), and it's also fun to get a little Cold War nostalgia, so to speak, with the American ordinary guy loner beating the product of Soviet technology. Fun to watch? Yeah. Great movie? No.

Totally Awesome Cold War Propaganda!.......2007-05-08

To say that Rocky IV is propaganda is a bold understatement. From the opening bell of Rocky IV we are fed repeated anti-soviet and pro-US messages. The obvious arrogance, rampant drug use and lack of freedoms the Russians display here are not antagonistic as much as they are downright degrading and completely inaccurate. Every Soviet character acts as if they are a pathetically corrupt villain, that is until they are shown the path of the righteous man by our hero Rocky Balboa both in and out of the ring in a shameless speech that shows us what this film is really about. The Russian people find their liberation in their love for the American underdog Rocky. Rocky III had a subtle message of money spoiling good ol' Rock into losing his title and regaining it when he found the fire that existed in being a real underdog (a poor New Yorker who had nothing but his ability to fight). Rock IV gives us a message that is the antithesis of this and gives blind justification for hating our enemies for trivial and inaccurate reasons, in other words the legacy of Rocky took more than a few steps back.

In this, the third sequel to the original classic about a kid from south Philly with a [...] education who gets a shot at the champion Appollo Creed. By now in the series, Rock has been champion and is friends now with Apollo and when Ivan Drago (a giant Russian boxer played by Dolph Lundgren) comes along, Apollo comes out of retirement to show this commie who is boss. Drago beats him to death in the ring and Rocky now knows what he needs to do. Stop commies! I mean, avenge his friend's death.

Its amusing to say the least as now the U.S.S.R. is no more and the damages of misled messages are inconsequential as the only people who could be swayed by such nonsense have already been swayed by our culture. It's vexing indeed but Rocky IV wins me over because I laugh every time it's on television. That is no reason to call it a good movie though. It so shamelessly sets the stage for the ultimate in melodrama and underdog cliches that only a child would find this believable. It is pornographic propaganda really, I put it right in there with Reefer Madness.

As a character, Rocky does represent something of America in all of his films (though I haven't seen the fifth one entirely). He is the quintessential underdog; he is a simple man that made his way through life by being a good person and doing what he knew how to do for his family. That feels like America for many of us. On the other hand he represents us as well in a different light in Rocky IV; he is the shameless symbol that represents what blind nationalism and unregulated globalization can bring without justifying it's reason, by the film's end the Russians are as blindly proud as the American's who possess unconditional love for their ever-serving government. It doesn't represent the left or the right but simply put, it represents those who can't learn because they think they already know. It represents the ignorant and just plain stupid and who could be their hero, or as Mr. T. once said, their paper champion. There are means and ends in life and conflict is the means to serve what end? Rocky IV promotes the kind of thought that is too arrogant to bother answering such a question.

But you know something? It's so shameless, unintentional, and fun that I don't give a damn and I begin chanting "Rocky" (or was it "Bocky") right along side those newly allied ex-communists every single time I see Rocky IV. Capitalism rocks comrade!

Starts well but finishes poorly.......2007-03-22

I really liked the first part of this movie, but everything after he starts training for the fight I could do without. The bland training in Russia in all that snow, and the fight itself weren't that great to me. Then he spews some sort of political message that ends up sounding retarded. Huge Rocky fan, but this is not one of my favs. It gets 3 starts because it has heart, great production quality and I could watch Rocky grocery shopping and be happy, he's just that good of a character.

Description

Sex/Life in L.A. 2: Cycles of Porn is a revealing glimpse into a world where sex, art and business collide in the City of Angels. It's been seven years since the filmmaker's first documentary portrait, and director Jochen Hick is checking in with some of his previous subjects: Adult film stars Kevin Kramer, Cole Tucker and Matt Bradshaw. But sexuality is constantly evolving, and styles, tastes and even new technology are providing a new supply of up-and-coming talent. Hick deftly explores a culture in which young men occupy a house outfitted with webcams for a sexy chat site, and nomad filmmakers rove the country looking for impromptu stars of their condom-free "bareback films." The dreams, disappointments and unwavering reality of the gay adult industry are all opened up with insight and humor in this riveting film that made festival audiences around the world cheer.

Well, it's about guys who make their living through sex. Either by internet, movies, etc. Interesting, but for renting only. A few nudity scenes.

A Glimpse Into The World Of Porn.......2006-01-23

Sex/Life in L.A. 2: Cycles of Porn is a fascinating look into the world of porn that is a follow up to Jochen Hick's 1998 Sex/Life in L.A. Hick revisits Kevin Kramer, Cole Tucker, Matt Bradshaw, and finds some new porn stars, or at least wannabes along the way. Although I found it to be quite intriguing it really only touches the surface and it left me wanting more. The film begins with a look behind the scenes at Chi Chi LaRue's "Live and Raw Hotel", a hotel filled with webcams and host to a bevy of boys, filming every moment for the world to see. Focusing on the trials and tribulations of the boys we follow their ups and downs, dreams and desires. More seasoned veterans like Matt Bradshaw, Cole Tucker, and Kevin Kramer are featured and we get a glimpse into where they are now. Surprisingly Cole Tucker is not like his onscreen persona and it was nice to see what a down to earth guy he was, much like the rest of them. A controversial subject is touched upon with the director of bareback videos and his search across country via a motor home in the search of new stars. Sex parties, drugs, and more sex round out the film that just begins to scrape the surface but is worth a look nonetheless. Hopefully Hick won't let so much time go by before he revisits this industry and let's hope he digs a bit deeper.

Featuring the best special effects that money can buy and a screenplay that any six-year-old could follow, Stealth is a pure action thriller that starts fast and never slows down. Moving up from The Fast and the Furious and xXx, director Rob Cohen proves himself as a master of popcorn entertainment for teenagers, turning this derivative military sci-fi action thriller into a dazzling showcase for impressive aerial action sequences, featuring digital effects and highly detailed model work (by James Cameron's Digital Domain effects company, among others) that are so realistic you could swear the movie's high-tech aircraft are absolutely real. The plot serves the effects (it should be the other way around), and it's a cheesy hybrid of Top Gun, The Right Stuff, Firefox and Behind Enemy Lines, in which a close-knit trio of Naval Air Force aces (Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx) pilot state-of-the-art "Talon" fighter-bombers, ready to scramble on orders from their not-entirely trustworthy commander (Sam Shepard). They're teamed up with an ultra-high-tech UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) nicknamed "EDI," an artificially intelligent fighter drone that's as erratically dangerous (after its circuitry is damaged by lightning) as it is deadly effective. With a standard third-act rescue mission amidst the threat of global warfare, Stealth is brainless entertainment from start to finish, but the aerial action and epic-scale pyrotechnics ensure that it's never, ever boring. Cohen may be guilty of dumbing down his recycled plots for mass appeal, but there's no denying his skills as an action auteur. Move over, Michael Bay, you've got serious competition. --Jeff Shannon

Such a waste.......2007-06-12

Boy talk about unfulfilled potential. This movie was it. A good cast wasted and a good idea put into a brainless plot. Sam Shepard made a good effort as always but he could not save this movie. Jamie Foxx also was doing a good up until he got killed in such a way you had to see it coming long before it happened. Let's see, what can I do that I know I shouldn't that will undoubtedly result in my death? Then he does it. Paleeeeze. Jessica Biel gets shot by the high powered rifle of a sniper then manages to cross 5 miles of rugged terrain to get rescued. There is nooooo way. Anyway, if you just want to watch some kind of cool aerial acrobatics done on computers, this is an okay film. Forget the plot, forget the acting. Do that and you can tolerate this one, although it had the potential to be so much more.

One of my hubby's favs.......2007-04-26

I give it a 4, because my husband absolutely loves this movie and I find it tolerable. I liked it the first couple of times I watched it, but after 2 or 3...not so well.

Eye Candy.......2007-03-18

I think the reviewer "girldiver" got it right ... this movie is visually enjoyable for people who like hot airplanes and cute people. If you're looking for profound story, OK, this sort of movie isn't about that. It's a cartoon for adults, it knows that, and it delivers on that score.

Why I liked it? I'm a big fan of Jessica Beil and I'm personally delighted by the "fun" tach she's taken with her career. "Cute girls doing cool things in sexy outfits" may not be the path to cinematic greatness ... but I suspect it will make her popular and rich, and that's not all bad. I decided I wanted to see this movie when I saw the preview in the theater and got a glimpse of Jessica in a bikini and a sky filled with crazy fast jets. While I certainly would have enjoyed MORE Jessica in a bikini, this movie was quite satisfying as the grown up cartoon I hoped it would be.

My wish for a next "Jessica and Jets" adult cartoon? Bikini clad pilot babe teaches the boys how to fly in 2020's new hottest sport, the world wide micro-jet racing circuit. :)

Agree and disagree with others........ worth seeing(:.......2007-03-11

Well, have to start out with the most important thing here.... I STRONGLY disagree with the reviewer that said Josh Lucas isn't THAT cute, because he MOST CERTAINLY IS....LOL For Heaven's sake, he's adorable.....that sly smile and those blue eyes, oh my gosh I don't know how ANYONE could think he 'isn't that cute' it's almost not even a matter of opinion..... the guy is hot!!)
Okay, on to the movie.... It was on cable, I saw Josh was in it, the story looked like it might be fairly decent, so I watched it (figured if it was too boring, I could just watch Josh the whole time......hehehe) I'm sure I'm not alone in that I haven't forgotten his charming, blue-eyed, adorable self in 'Sweet Home Alabama'. So, I watched it, and to my surprise, found myself quite entertained.......even enough so to want to add the dvd to my stash for future 'Josh viewings'. hehehe.

Anyway...... on to the poor Jessica Biel. She is a beautiful girl, and yes, I agree with the reviewer who said they gave her a lousy script. I thought Josh did a fine job with his supposed 'underlying sexual tension' (when he walked away from her at the table when they were in Thailand, with his adorable smile when he said goodbye, but after he turned away, without saying a word, you could tell right there how hard it had been for him to walk away), and was his ever-charming self...... regardless of what lines he had (although I don't think he can help it, he just exudes sexual tension naturally!) His character was supposed to be cocky and charming and a hottie..... and I think he pulled off all three. But, although I like Jessica, they really gave her some shoddy lines, though I thought she did well in the scenes where she was scrambling for the border, when she didn't have any lines......LOL): Too bad...... they really could have made a hotter pair when it came to 'underlying sexual tension' than they turned out to be (writer missed a big opportunity on that one....... two of the hottest actors in hollywood, and I don't blame the actors.... that was all in the writing), but still, I enjoyed it, but mostly because of Josh, and the great flying scenes (though I'm not an expert, so I can't pick apart any of those, as they seemed perfectly great to me!) I have to admit, sometimes it is a bit annoying when 'professional' aviators, and such decide to pick apart decent action movies. I mean, come on....... they aren't all meant to be documetaries, they are action films, and to create action films, you can't always pull off amazing scenes AND be perfectly accurate technically...... I just don't think it is possible. Reminds me of another movie that I LOVED, but if I remember correctly, there were some 'specialists' who picked it apart..... it was 'Behind Enemy Lines' and I thought it was a great action movie, from start to finish, and I LOVED the finish, with Wilson running and jumping off that cliff, shots being fired at him from all over the place....jumping, and having that guy on the end of the long line from the.....dare I say Black Hawk (not positive on the type of air craft, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong...LOL) grab him....(and I don't care how implausible it was, it was still awesome!).

Anyway, sorry for the rambling. Final analysis, check "Stealth" out. It's at least worth a rental, and as I said, I think I just might add it to my own collection simply for the Josh Lucas value(: Yes, I'm obviously female........LOL

Oh yeah, and it wasn't as predictable as many of these types of movies are..... I was quite surprised at how the ending played out...... and.... SPOILER HERE****** so, don't read this part if you haven't seen the movie, and don't want to hear anything about the ending!!!
I have to say, near the end, I LOVED that Josh's character goes back for Lt. Wade, I just loved that, though I know realistically, it would be impossible to just 'find' her like that, I don't care, I still loved it. The one thing I wish they had done differently here is that when he was helping Jessica's character to run to the border, as injured and exhausted as she HAD to have been at that point (heck, she probably deserved a little kiss right here too.....LOL, though I guess they didn't have time for such romance!), I would have liked to see him helping her along for part of the way, but then scooping her up and carrying her the final few yards(: THAT would have been more romantic, and let's face it, the girl could certainly have used a bit of a lift from the man she so obviously loved, right? And, we deserved to see a bit of tenderness from our hero, right?) Also, I would have liked to see her in sick bay or something, before the funeral scene. As I said, she had to have been injured, after that fall through the trees and scrambling through the hills, and getting shot and all....... so, a short scene with "Ben" visiting her in sick bay (or whatever it is called on a ship), showing his concern for her would have been touching. Then at last, my final gripe (not really a gripe, just my own personal rewrite of the script, that's all!) The final scene should have gone on just a bit longer. It cut short, right after Jessica's last line (which by the way, was the only line she had that I thought was decent (and funny...... well, it made me laugh a bit), I would have liked to see a bit more reaction from Josh...... I don't know, maybe even a big long, passionate kiss as the camara panned away from the ship....... yes, I liked his cute little smile after she said what she said, but I wanted to see him DO something about it, FINALLY!! LOL Oh well, maybe there is an alternate ending on the DVD........ hmmmm....... now, if it includes a kiss SOMEWHERE, it really might be worth picking it up! Really, am I the only one that thinks they needed a kiss at the end? Predictable it would have been...yes, but after all of that 'sexual tension' that either did or didn't really play out, I thought we deserved a kiss..... okay, maybe not a long, passionate one, maybe just a sweet, soft one would have been more appropriate(: While I liked the look he had on his face after she said her 'last line', I didn't like that they cut the movie right there, and rolled the credits. Wanted just a bit more at the end...... that's all. Then again, I'm usually wanting a bit more Josh Lucas(: hehehe.

Okay, done with my own private ramblings....... sorry if I was too long-winded, please forgive?

Oh, almost forgot.... one last thing (another spoiler here****) Jamie Foxx had a decent performance as well..... he added some personality to the movie (loved the scene where he was in his...... room? Is it called a room on a ship? Anyway, when he was 'studying' the info they had been given about the EDI thingamobob. That scene made me laugh, and showed a lot of his personality early on). He was funny, had a good character, and unfortunately had to be the one to die..... that part was sad. I guess there had to be a sad part though, and that was it. Foxx did a nice job in the movie though, and I didn't mean to leave him out of my way too long review(:

A great follow up to Project A.......2007-04-29

David Lam stars as a crooked cop and Jackie is sent in to work alongside him so he can eventually take him down. He has a lot of cleaning up to do in his new district and starts with Chan Wei Man and his gang. The movie is slow going, but there are tons of hilarious scenes that keep things moving along. The plot finally kicks into gear when we find out Maggie Cheung and Rosamund Kwan's plans. This movie is your standard Jackie vs. everybody scenario. There is also a gang of pirates after Jackie because he killed their leader at the end of Project A.

While there are no lengthy 1 on 1 matches, the action is all very good and also has a big emphasis on comedy. There are a couple of very long drawn out comic sequences, but it always ends in a big payoff. Thanks to the comedy, the movie moves along at a good pace. Make sure not to blink early on because there is a 5 second exchange between Jackie Chan and Chan Wei Man that is amazing. The stuntwork is superb. Just don't go into this expecting anything that comes close to matching the 3 on 1 final fight or the clocktower stunt from the first Project A. There is a nice 10 minute sequence towards the end that is filled with crazy stunts and also a few fights. Not his best, but definitely one of Jackie Chan's better movies.

On top of the names already given, the cast also includes Mars, Bill Tung, Fan Mei-Sheng, Ken Lo, Ben Lam, John Chiang, Lee Hoi San and Tiet Wo Chu. Ken Lo and Ben Lam unfortunately don't get in on the action.

4/5

The DVD from Dimension Video is not cut very much and the original music is intact, but the British dubbing gets extremely annoying. Picture quality is very good and perfectly widescreened.

Stick with Original.......2004-02-23

Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.

Project A2 - twice as great!.......2004-01-20

I had seen Project A many times, so when, seeing Project A2 for the first time, was expecting more of the same (I also gave Project A five stars as well - how can anyone go wrong with a Jackie Chan film?!?!?!). But Project A2, IMHO, is much better, with more action and more amazing stunts (too bad I can't give it 6 stars!!). I have the subtitled version, and I've always liked those versions better, rather than the dubbed versions.

Don't think twice - get this movie (especially if you can find the subtitled version!!!).

Better than I expected... the DVD, that is..........2003-05-24

Alright... I'm keeping myself anonymous as I've been against Dimension Films' treatment of pretty much all Hong Kong imports, yet this release wasn't as bad... First off, I'm not sure if the print was cut at all, but at least the run time was over 100 min. Yes, this version has a new dub created by Dimension, HOWEVER, it has retained the original Hong Kong score. I don't believe Dimension has ever done this. The only thing close to this was the opposite with "Iron Monkey" in which the Cantonese track had been retained, but the music had changed. Also, the score was blasting in 5.1 surround sound, no less. And even the original sound effects were kept and with very good bass coming from the subwoofer. As for the picture, it looked almost like a brand new film. It might not've hit the standards of the Region 2 company "Hong Kong Legends", but was still highly impressive. As for extras... this is where it falls flat on its face... NOTHING! Also, I had feared that Dimension would chop out the outtakes since Jackie is seen singing in Cantonese in the original version, yet it was left in! Unfortunately, Dimension was too lazy to get subtitles for it. Well, it looks like Dimension may be getting closer to getting things right... but not until they release a Hong Kong film on DVD UNCUT and with BOTH English and Cantonese/Mandarin audio tracks. If Disney/Miramax, can take Japanese anime films ("Spirited Away", "Castle in the Sky", etc.) and give them high-class two disc releases, then why not Hong Kong live action films? They'd sell better that way as well. All we can do is wait... but it's getting harder and harder to hold my breath. As for this DVD... if you can find it for a decent price or you have a gift card and can't find anything else, it's actually worth the purchase. But, if you want original language over video quality, I guess you'll have to find the Mega Star Hong Kong DVD... either way, IT'S UP TO YOU!!

Project A 2 (1985).......2002-11-12

This film is just as good as it's previous one. A hialarious scene is when Jackie was fighting the bad guys he had to eat REAL red hot chillies, spit the juice into his hands and rub the juice onto the bad guys eyes'. The plot is quite simiar to the other one but don't worry it's still is a real treat!

Description

From the director of XXX and The Fast and The Furious comes an exhilarating epic blockbuster starring Jessica Biel, Josh Lucas and Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx (Best Actor, RAY, 2004). Breathtaking from take-off, it thrusts you in the cockpit, hits Mach 5 and never looks back. Henry, Ben and Kara are hands down the world's best tactical fighter pilots. But a new member joins their team, a state-of-the-art, fully-automated, pilotless, super stealth warplane - inhuman and invincible. But once this stealth goes up it's never coming down, wreaking destruction in seconds across the globe, leaving the team with one last no-fail mission: to stop it - no matter what.

I give it a 4, because my husband absolutely loves this movie and I find it tolerable. I liked it the first couple of times I watched it, but after 2 or 3...not so well.
