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.

This an enjoyable sappy, rousing movie. I admit I am a nut for late sixties, early seventies movies; yes some of the acting was hamfisted from the supporting cast, and the main characters did not approach the roles for Oscar level performance, that added to the enjoyment for me. Joe Don Baker played his role perfectly, so did Linda Evans, and they had great chemistry. They had fun with the roles, and I had fun with them. Don't expect too much and go along for the ride, you may just lose yourself in the movie for a while.

I bought this 100 movie pack used in "Good" condition, and it was. Seller did not overrate. Missing booklet. Packaging was good and delivery arrived before expected. Happy with this purchase and honest seller.

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.

This is not a good movie. That said, I enjoy this movie terribly mostly because of how bad it is. If you enjoyed the MST3K episode, it's worth your time to see some of the missing scenes and other changes. If you're looking for a good action crime comedy, you'd do better to look elsewhere.The Good:- The soundtrack is actually quite good. It's certainly has a strong 70's vibe, but I found myself whistling and humming the music from this film for quite some time after I'd seen it.- The acting (from the leads) is actually fairly good despite some rather odd casting and screenplay decisions.The Bad:- The screenplay. This movie is so unnecessarily complicated. Minimum of 3 watchings required to understand the connections between Walter Deanie, Mistretta, Arthur Cummings, and Mr Gilano. Walter Deanie is completely unnecessary, everything that character does should have just been folded into Arthur Cummings. Mr Gilano and Mistretta should have just been the same person to avoid yet another layer of needless complexity.- The casting. Joe Don Baker just isn't charismatic enough to work as a sort of "every-man plays by his own rules" cop in a lead role on his own. This would have worked more as a buddy copy where he could play off a straight laced, by the book partner.- The action. The action scenes are usually either boring (torpid car chases) or completely unbelievable (vehicles exploding many times with very little prompting.- The comedy. This movie is not at all funny when it tries and is hilarious when it attempts to be serious. Joe Don Baker yelling at children and busting his girlfriend/prostitute for pot simply don't work as comedy.
