Sylvester Stallone Collection: Assassins/Cobra/The Specialist

Sylvester Stallone Collection: Assassins/Cobra/The Specialist Review

(Assassins) -- If Sylvester Stallone plays the world's number one assassin in this thriller, that must make Antonio Banderas, well, number two. The two are competing to hit the same target for a -million payoff, and their challenge takes them from explosion to explosion on a cat-and-mouse chase from Seattle to Mexico. Julianne Moore plays the cagey cat fancier and computer hacker who possesses a stolen computer disc that makes her a prime target for bad guys, and Robert Rath (Stallone) is only too happy to come to her defense. Director Richard Donner handles action sequences with adequate flair and has a good time blowing things up. Banderas has fun with the nonsensical plot, and Moore is enjoyable in one of her big-budget mainstream roles. --Jeff Shannon ** (Cobra) -- Sylveter Stallone creates another electrifying American hero in the Rocky/Rambo mold: Cobretti the cop, a fearless dispenser of justice out to stop a gang of serial killers. Year: 1986 ** (The Specialist) -- Just awful enough to qualify as someone's guilty pleasure, this convoluted thriller was supposed to cash in on the supposedly sexy teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone (then hot from her ample exposure in Basic Instinct), but their naked groping in a shower provides one of the film's unintentionally funny highlights. Ray Quick (Stallone) is a former CIA bomb expert whose former colleague (James Woods) is now in cahoots with a Miami drug cartel led by kingpin Joe Leon (Rod Steiger), who chews the scenery while his son Tomas (Eric Roberts) proceeds with a greedy hidden agenda. May Munro (Stone) hires Quick to kill off Roberts. The Specialist, featuring lots of explosions and redeemed by a dandy role for James Woods, is best suited for ardent Stallone and Stone fans. --Jeff Shannon

Cobra (Silent)

Cobra (Silent) Review

Count Rodrigo Torriani is a legendary womanizer whose playboy antics have left him flat broke. He finds financial salvation when he befriends Jack Dorning, who hires him into his blue-chip antique business. Rodrigo hides his true feeling for beautiful socialite Elise, when Jack falls for her. Elise is in love with Jack's fortune, and the two are soon wed. When Rodrigo learns that Elise has repeatedly betrayed her husband, he is tortured with the notion that revealing the truth to his best friend, will crush his trusting heart. Rudolph Valentino, the original Latin lover, catapulted to fame with his starring role in The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse (1921 ). His iconic roles in The Sheik (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922) are the stuff of Hollywood legend. Valentino's animal magnetism is evident in this 1925 Ritz-Carlton production, Cobra, which is graced with the spectacular set designs of William Cameron Menzies. Valentino would appear in only one more motion picture, The Son of the Sheik (1926), before his tragic untimely death the same year at the age of 31, would plunge legions of adoring female fans worldwide, into hysterical grief.

Tango and Cash (Snap Case Packaging) Review

Tango and Cash (Snap Case Packaging) Feature

• TESTED

Another action flick from an unlikely source (wildly inconsistent Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky), buddy movie Tango & Cash teams Sly Stallone and Kurt Russell as bullet-dodging cops who get on each others' nerves while uniting against a slimy French drug kingpin (Jack Palance). Violent, profane, and packed with implausibilities, this is one of those big-budget, stunt-laden affairs that gets by on the charisma of its stars, and they almost pull it off. Tango & Cash was Stallone's first attempt to share the spotlight with another hero, and he's casually laid-back in his change-of-pace role (well, OK, it's not that change-of-pace), while Russell is equally enjoyable as Sly's well-coifed sidekick. Ridiculous all the way, this one is entertaining if only as a virtual catalog of action-movie clichés.--Jeff Shannon There are buddy cops. And then there are Ray Tango and Gabe Cash (Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell) They're rival L.A. policemen who have one thing in common: each thinks he is the best. And each has the commendations, battle scars and ready supply of hilarious one-liners to prove it. Team them and they're like oil and water. But frame them for a crime and they're like a match and kerosene. Year: 1989 Director: Andrei Konchalovsky Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack Palance

Cobra/Tango and Cash

Cobra/Tango and Cash Review

He's poison to crime. Sylvester Stallone portrays Cobra's Marion Cobretti, a cop with a style all his own and a knack for taking the blood-splattered jobs no one else dares to take. George P. Cosmatos (Tombstone) guides the whirlwind action as Cobretti confronts a crime spree that may be the work of a serial killer. Punches mix with punch lines in Tango & Cash, starring Stallone and Kurt Russell as rival Los Angeles cops who form a flinty partnership as they bust out of prison and go after the powerful drug czar who set them up. Co-stars include Jack Palance as the big-shot crimelord and, in her second film, Teri Hatcher.

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue - Titanium Ranger: Curse of the Cobra [VHS]

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue - Titanium Ranger: Curse of the Cobra [VHS] Review

Titanium Ranger, Curse of the Cobra, a feature-length item from the Power Rangers franchise, is from the Lightspeed Rescue series--just keeping up with the ever-changing nature of the group and its membership is a full-time job these days--and sees the super-powered teens and their whizzy technology operating from an offshore underwater base. In this story, the Titanium Ranger is cursed with a mystical cobra tattoo that grows every time he uses his powers. Unfortunately, the tattoo also weakens him each time, meaning that the group can no longer rely on their most powerful member. Typical Power Rangers stuff, in other words, which fans are sure to enjoy. Adults, meanwhile, can at least chuckle at the male Rangers' dodgy civvies dress sense, making them resemble a group of Village People-teenage sidekicks. While there are still the obligatory men in rubber suits, the special effects used here are pretty impressive, and the show opens with a strong and quite scary Halloween-esque storyline. --Roger Thomas, Amazon.co.uk

Cobra Verde [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] Review

Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), German ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Commentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Director Werner Herzog, as usual, has spared no one -- especially himself -- in bringing this story of 19th-century African slave trading to the screen. Klaus Kinski plays an enterprising young Brazilian who after impregnating the three daughters of his plantation-owning employer, is sent to West Africa to round up slaves. Kinski goes to great lengths to befriend the very people he hopes to enslave and he eventually manages to overthrow a mad monarch and set himself up as king. As the years pass, Kinski grows wealthy -- and careless. However, despite enslaving the tribe, he does show some signs of humanitarian benevolence. Though the title translates literally as Green Cobra, Cobra Verde was released in the U.S. as Slave Coast.

Silent Valentino Classics: Blood and Sand (1922) / The Eagle (1925) / Cobra (1925) (3-DVD)

Silent Valentino Classics: Blood and Sand (1922) / The Eagle (1925) / Cobra (1925) (3-DVD) Review

Blood and Sand (1922, B&W, Silent): Great screen lover Rudolph Valentino charismatically stars as Juan Gallardo, a shoemaker's son with aspirations to be a toreador in the 1922 motion picture adaptation of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's often filmed romantic tale, Blood and Sand. Juan's meteoric rise from poverty to the thrill-mad bullrings of Seville is aided by his childhood sweetheart Carmen (Lila Lee). But her sweet, innocent manner is no match for vamp Dona Sol (Nita Naldi), a wealthy woman who devours men and easily conquers the impressionable Juan. With perverted social anthropologist Don Joselito (Charles Belcher) lurking by the sidelines and sadistically studying Juan's corruption by fame, sex and power, Blood and Sand is not only a romantic tragedy of youthful folly but a pointed and ahead-of-its-time examination of 20th century stardom. Blood and Sand is a giant landmark in silent cinema with unforgettable performances by Rudolph Valentino, Lila Lee and Nita Naldi.

The Eagle (1925, B&W, Silent): Handsome, hard-riding Vladimir Dubrovsky is the Czarina's favorite Lieutenant in the Imperial Cavalry. When the officer spurns the Empress's romantic overtures, a reward is posted for his capture and execution. He flees St. Petersburg and returns home to discover that that his father has been murdered and his estate stolen by the scoundrel Kyrilla. Concealing his identity with a mask, Vladimir becomes "The Black Eagle" and leads a peasant revolt against the oppressive despot. The uprising gathers momentum, but when he falls for the tyrant's beautiful daughter, he is forced to choose between revenge and true love. Along with the hero's portrayal by the great Valentino, The Eagle features set design by William Cameron Menzies plus a brief appearance by a young Gary Cooper.

The Cobra (1925, B&W, Silent): Count Rodrigo Torriani is a legendary womanizer whose playboy antics have left him flat broke. He finds financial salvation when he befriends Jack Dorning, who hires him into his blue-chip antique business. Rodrigo hides his true feeling for beautiful socialite Elise, when Jack falls for her. Elise is in love with Jack's fortune, and the two are soon wed. When Rodrigo learns that Elise has repeatedly betrayed her husband, he is tortured with the notion that revealing the truth to his best friend, will crush his trusting heart. Valentino's animal magnetism is evident in this 1925 Ritz-Carlton production, which is graced with the spectacular set designs of William Cameron Menzies.

Rudolph Valentino, the original Latin lover, catapulted to fame with his starring role in The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse (1921). His iconic roles in The Sheik (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922) are the stuff of Hollywood legend. After The Cobra, Valentino appeared in only one more motion picture, The Son of the Sheik (1926), before his tragic untimely death the same year at the age of 31, which plunged legions of adoring female fans worldwide into hysterical grief.
