Description

Doctor Detroit is a dangerous, steel-handed pimp who is not to be trifled with. He also doesn't actually exist. He's really Clifford Skridlow (Dan Aykroyd), a nerdy college professor who agrees to masquerade as the doc in order to help protect a quartet of sexy hookers from a wicked Chicago crime boss named Mom (Kate Murtagh). Wildly offbeat comedy also stars Howard Hesseman, Donna Dixon, Fran Drescher, Lynn Whitfield, and James Brown. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English.

Description

Ex-mercenary Nick Escalante isn’t a violent man by nature. He’s just good at it. And when things get very, very bad, he’s naturally at his best. Las Vegas is the backdrop for all the torrid action of Heat, as screen legend Burt Reynolds (Hustle, Stick) plays the softhearted bodyguard who’s out to protect his friends. When a gangster’s son brutally beats an old flame, it ignites a tightly wound thriller that pits Burt against the mob and culminates in a vicious cat-and-mouse climax. Written by Hollywood’s master craftsman, William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Marathon Man, Misery), directed by Dick Richards (Farewell, My Lovely) and co-starring Karen Young (Criminal Law), Peter MacNicol (Ghostbusters II), Neill Barry (O.C. and Stiggs), Howard Hesseman (Honky Tonk Freeway) and Diana Scarwid (Inside Moves). Special Features: • NEW Audio Commentary by Action Film Historians Brandon Bentley and Mike Leeder • Alternate Ending • Theatrical Trailer • Optional English Subtitles Top About this item Similar From the Brand Reviews Heat (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Description

Casey Meadows (Deborah Foreman, Valley Girl), a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant, has just received an unbelievable job offer: the opportunity to work as a driver at the prestigious Brentwood Limousine Limited. Much to the shock and frustration of its posh, all-male chauffeur staff, Casey accepts the offer, but as she begins to settle into her new position, she discovers that working as a driver is more grueling than she could have anticipated. Finding herself having to contend with stoned singers, devious diplomats, and other raucous clients, she's quickly at her wits end, but when she picks up a young man named Battle (Sam J. Jones, Flash Gordon), who's just been dumped by his girlfriend, a budding romance quickly begins, only for Casey to discover that Battle is her bosses' son! Writer/director David Beaird's light hearted cult comedy, MY CHAUFFEUR, playfully combines comedy and romance with adept observations on sexism and class conflict.
