Product Description
This DVD includes 2 movies, 2 cartoons and some old-fashioned TV commercials. The Outlaw-This sexually supercharged western raised eyebrows when it first debuted and was even banned in some countries! The Outlaw was a landmark film for its time, dealing frankly with sex in a way not before seen. Debut and burst-out for bombshell Jane Russell. Angel and the Badman-With elements of Shane and The Quiet Man, Angel and the Badman captures the real feel and flavor of the Old West. John Wayne shines in this classic western feature with a romantic edge-A cowboy torn between the gun and the girl.

Along with Sergio Leone's Clint Eastwood trilogy, Sergio Corbucci's Django, starring Belgian hunk Franco Nero as the gritty mercenary who drags a coffin behind him, was one of the most influential spaghetti Westerns. After mowing down armies of bad guys with his machine gun (which he brandishes in classic two-fisted tough-guy fashion--from the hip), he stages a daring gold heist from a Mexican military fortress and then plots to double-cross his bandito partners. Corbucci, who cowrote the story, fashions an unrelentingly violent tale of rival gangs squeezing the life out of a muddy, bloody border town, reveling in the sadism of the genre. The film opens with a woman strung up and lashed by a group of lascivious bandits, only to be saved by even more sadistic gunmen who plan to burn her alive, and Django fan Quentin Tarantino borrowed the scene where a vindictive general slices the ear off a corrupt preacher for Reservoir Dogs. While not as stylish as Leone's operatic epics, Django pushed the borders of violence into all-new territory, and the film was banned outright in England and cut in the U.S. It spawned 20 unofficial sequels before Nero returned 20 years later for the only legitimate sequel, Django Strikes Again. In the meantime, Nero followed up this grimy antihero role with a turn as the singing medieval superknight Lancelot in Camelot! Also features a short interview with Nero. --Sean AxmakerCustomer Reviews:

Tupac Shakur - Thug Angel (The Life of an Outlaw)

The title says it all: Tupac Shakur was as much angel as outlaw. Unlike some of the other profiles made in the wake of his passing, Thug Angel doesn't focus only on the first few days of his career or the last few days before his death, but on his entire life. That makes it valuable as much for the fan as for the merely curious. The production was backed by friends and associates and includes never-before-seen material. It's surprisingly evenhanded, juxtaposing footage of Tupac at 17, for example--sounding mature beyond his years--with an interview conducted years later on a shooting range. Passion was still in full effect, but idealism had been replaced by paranoia. Peter Spirer's film is a documentary, not a music video, and contains only snippets of Tupac's work. At its best, Thug Angel makes a compelling case for his continued relevance as an artist and activist. --Kathleen C. FennessyDescription
In the $3 billion industry of hip-hop music, no one has touched as many lives with a microphone as Tupac Shakur. In this never-before-seen footage, see Tupac at seventeen, a young man at the edge of his destiny, speaking out about injustice on the streets of Oakland. See him at the brink of his stardom, kickin' freestyles with Treach, Biggie and Grand Puba. See him at the shooting range, at home, at the highs and lows of his career, as a man constantly plagued by and provoking the media. See Tupac as never seen before, as the people closest to him knew him. See him as Thug Angel. Directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason), Thug Angel takes you beyond the drama of Tupac's notoriety in the press through all-new interviews with friends, collaborators and scholars as they look back on Tupac and define his legacy today. 92 minutes.Customer Reviews:

Sergio Corbucci's Immortal Classic - Now Restored From The Original Negative!Franco Nero stars as the lone stranger who roams the West dragging a coffin filled with chaos towards a destiny ruled by vengeance. Co-writer/director Sergio Corbucci (THE GREAT SILENCE, COMPANEROS) packs his landmark classic with indelible images, unforgettable performances and some of the most shocking brutality of any `Spaghetti Western' ever made.

This definitive edition of DJANGO has been re-mastered from the original camera negative, recently discovered in a Rome vault untouched for over three decades. Also included for the first time is the optional Italian audio track featuring Franco Nero's own voice. Following two years of extensive restoration, Blue Underground is no proud to present the most stunning and complete version of DJANGO you will ever see.

Horrible.......2004-05-15
Congratulations Artisan, You've Ruined Another Great Movie.......2002-04-22
Good movie hurt by video format........2002-04-03
This is a terrible shame because Gunmen is a fun, lightweight flick of two guys, one good, the other bad, forced to work together against a common enemy. There are many funny one liners, and the action scenes are pretty good, though low budget. Denis Leary is always fun to watch when he's angry or evil, and he's almost always both in Gunmen.
"i gotta tell ya, I don't swallow".......2002-04-01
Sigh! Artisan does it again........2002-01-05
Gunmen is a lively and entertaining movie with a witty script, nonstop action and a first rate cast. Denis Leary once again nails the bad guy role to a tee and Lambert and Peebles (who starred together in Highlander 3) make for a great buddy team.
But I cannot recommend this movie to you on DVD. I waited so long for this to be released only to be dissapointed by the lack of OAR. Even the cover art is horrid. I mean I don't remember any volcanos in the film.
Stay away from this DVD. Stick with your VHS. It is of the same quality.

Not so much a spaghetti Western as a Gazpacho Western, from Spanish director Eugenio Martin, starring Telly Savalas, very funny and effective as the charismatic Mexican revolutionary, Pancho Villa. The story follows Villa's campaign to overtake General Goyo and thus take over the Mexican government, along the way invading the land of the "gringos" to replenish his weapons. Largely played for laughs, Pancho Villa wanders here and there, but remains fairly entertaining throughout. Chuck Connors deserves special mention as the martinet Colonel Wilcox, who at one point has a mess tent full of officers chasing a single fly, because, you know, a dirty army is an inefficient army. Connors receives the best entrance of anyone in the film: an extreme close-up profile of his enormous chin. It's Colonel Wilcox's single-minded zeal that results in a two-train head-on collision at the film's finale that would make Gomez Addams envious. --Jim GayCustomer Reviews:
