Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
What a treat to have both of these films released by Dark Sky, one of the best companies in recent years to deliver rare films that are also remastered to perfection as well as in wide screen where possible. I've always enjoyed The Glove (1978) it has a memorable opening number and John Saxon is as always excellent in the role of a world weary bounty hunter. Rooevelt Grier also excels and the supporting cast enhances the film. Search And Destroy likewise makes for an entertaining action feature with good roles for Don Stroud and Perry King ably supported by the ever reliable George Kennedy. Add these films to your collection and take a trip back in time...
I was pleasantly surprised by this double feature DVD. Particularly with the Glove which is a solid entry in the Private Eye genre. I liked its realism and unromantic presentation of the everyday life of a bounty hunter. John Saxon fits the part perfectly and delivers a solid performance. Joanna Cassidy (who laughs less than usual) is also very good as the bounty hunter's fleeting love interest. I also thought that the avenger with the inhuman riot glove, played by Roosevelt Grier, was an interesting and memorable character as he has a friendly and maybe even chivalrous side. He reminded me a little of Forrest Whitaker in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
Nice to see S&D finally givn the dvd release. I guess my review would be a bit biased as the part of the Stranded POW helt bent on revenge was played by my childhood Tae Kwon Do instructor Park Jong Soo. I remember a big poster for this movie hanging at the Dojo. Anyhow, worth the price for that movie itself. cheers
I bought this for the movie Search and destroy which I LOVE. its the copy that's not good. It keeps speeding up like its trying to fast forward. Kinda ruined it. Even some of the back ground noise and the voices sound fast forward in spots. Wish I could find a really good copy of this movie. This ones kind of hard to watch..
Bought this for Search and Destroy, the classic yarn of Vietnam vets trying to live out a peaceful life when a man left behind in the Nam comes back to get his vengeance in 1980s Niagara Falls , some funky music, with a vet pushed to the limit to extract his own brand of justice, loved it as a kid , love it now, George Kennedy is here too leading the police trying to stop a repeat of the Nam in his back yard.
For many many years I saw posters and VHS copy's of this in video stores and now the internet but never had a chance to pick it up and give it a real sit down full attention watch without interruption,so after seeing it on a great Facebook page I found it on Amazon and snapped it up for a great price. On waiting eagerly for the post man to finally delivery it I ran upstairs and played it straight away and I wasn't disappointed. Great opening music track along with a very tense opening scene I knew this wasn't going to be a waste of my hard earned money,and it wasn't. Picture quality is superb along with sound. So basically what I'm saying is you won't be disappointed if you buy this one even if it's just for The Glove. I've still got another movie to watch and I'm happy already
I bought it solely for the fact that it was filmed in the 70's in Niagara Falls (Search and Destroy) but was pleasantly surprised to find both movies worth my time.
