Action Classics 100 Movie Pack Reviews:
Action Classics: A big hit with my family
2008-12-29 - I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my father, who owns more DVDs than I can count. Within just a few days of receiving it, he and my brother have already watched at least dozen movies between them, and both are excited to watch more.

One warning: the films have not been remastered, and the picture and sound quality varies depending on which you are watching. In one movie they watched, the dialogue was difficult to understand because the sound was watery. The vast majority, however, are perfectly watchable, and any picture or sound quality issues are small enough so as not to be distracting or even noticeable.

That said, I'd recommend this item as a gift to anyone who really enjoys action movies, particularly if you're not sure exactly which ones they already own. Most of the films are relatively highly rated in Leonard Maltin's guides, and many are rare and difficult to find.

Non-stop action!
2007-10-24 - The enormous ACTION CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack is a convenient combination of MILL CREEK's ACTION CLASSICS 50 Movie Pack and SUSPENSE CLASSICS 50 Movie Pack. Details of all 100 movies are available on my reviews located on those two product pages.


The ACTION CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack is 144 hours worth of non-stop adventure and is an excellent addition to any home film library.

Also worth checking out is HOLLYWOOD CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack. It's a star-studded extravaganza of lesser-known movies, both theatrical and made-for-TV.

2007-10-11 - Action Classics 100 Movie Pack Alert ! This is a combination of the 50 Movie Pack Action Classics & 50 Movie Pack Suspence Classics offered by Amazon. This is not clear in the description online, nor the box. Once opened, you can only get a partial refund. I love these old movies. I haven't started watching these yet because I'm collecting so many of these Multiple Movie packs, but I expect that some will be difficult to see or hear, but it's great that these old movies have been saved. Great way for us retired middle agers to pass the time. Or even your parents will love to watch.

Ahhh, Mitchell!
2002-08-01 - This is one of those movies that, after watching them, makes you think of all the other things you could have done with your time.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to watch the MST3K version, and I was saved by a barrage of witty remarks by Joel Hodgson, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot.

Anyway, Joe Don Baker is arguably the star of this disgusting spectacle, featuring a 25 mph car chase and some of the ugliest outfits you've ever seen. The fact that this was originally meant to be a serious movie makes me shudder.

"Do you think you are some kind of a star, like the guys...
2002-02-08 - ...on the movie screen?". - Hoyt Axton on "Mitchell"

Joe Don Baker (actually an excellent character actor) is the star of this cinematic train wreck. There is a very compelling reason to buy this un-MSTed "Mitchell", and even better reasons to avoid it.

First, if you're a shameless "Mystery Science Theater 3000" fan (as I am), it's a perfect companion to arguably the Brains' bid for comic masterpiece. The plot of the MST'ed version is completely incomprehensible (something about a super-secret spy...has a motorcycle...marooned in space...meets Hercules...or not). While the unexpurgated version fills in a few details, the plot REMAINS completely incomprehensible, it's just that much more convoluted. Still, you'll find out what happened to John Saxon (killed in a dune buggy accident - gotta see it to believe it), why Mitchell shot Edmundo Bocca in the leg(completely stupid but at least it's now within the story context), and some of the conversations will make marginally more sense (particularly with Linda Evans, who now has a name - Greta). The *best* reason to see it is that apparently the Brains riffed the "clean" version, and this video is the "R-rated" Mitchell. Like many films, the director shot a theatrical flavor and a release flavor, including some mildly rough language and additional violence. It's not just looped; for example, in the MST version Linda Evans writes "jerk" in lipstick. In the R-rated version, she writes "bastard" instead. (...).

Unfortunately, as much as I like "Mitchell" as an abject example of astonishingly bad filmmaking, I cannot recommend its purchase in this format. The tape is recorded in "EP" mode, which is completely inexcusable for a (...) film. Secondly, the transfer is about as poor as I have ever seen, with numerous tracking errors, sound drops, and other flaws. I expect poorly shot source material in a movie like this, but I will not tolerate poor mastering. Finally, the clamshell is poorly constructed. This movie will not last on the shelf very long before becoming completely unwatchable. Caveat Emptor.

In the words of the immortal Dr. Clayton Forrester, "Watch it and weep, Joel prole mole"!
