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.

Product Description THEY’RE THE PATROL THAT’S OUT OF CONTROL! The lease on the Snowy Peaks Lodge, a popular ski resort, is up for renewal and its owner Pops (Ray Walston, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) has no worries about signing a new lease.

Carter, John Carpenter’s The Thing), the resort has an impeccable safety record. However, a devious land developer (Martin Mull, Mr. Mom) has other plans in mind for the resort and hires the talents of a young blonde named Lance (Corbin Timbrook, The Glass Shield) to undermine the Ski Patrol’s efforts to keep the slopes safe.Featuring an all-star supporting cast including Leslie Jordan (“Will & Grace”), Paul Feig (Bridesmaids), Stephen Hytner (“Seinfeld”) and comedian George Lopez, combined with extraordinary aerial stunts, impressive snowboarding with an incredible downhill showdown, all add to the excitement as the Ski Patrol does their best to save Pop’s Mountain.

Product Description Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them. Bonus Content: U-Control: Picture in Picture Feature Commentary with Kurt Russell and Director John Carpenter Review Howard Hawks's original 1951 production of The Thing from Another World can be glimpsed playing on a TV that fateful October evening in John Carpenter's blockbuster hit, Halloween (1978). A few years later, Carpenter reteamed with his Escape from New York star Kurt Russell to do a remake. But while the first movie version of The Thing was in atmospheric black and white, Carpenter's 1982 version is in widescreen, full color, and features some of the most revoltingly explicit, surreally imaginative special effects (courtesy of FX-meister Rob Bottin) that have ever been seen on the screen. Researchers in the remote Antarctic dig up the remains of a spacecraft that has long been frozen in the ice. But the alien life unthaws and infects the living (not only humans but sled dogs too), living and gestating inside them. (This horrific concept was also explored in the two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Alien movies.) This Thing is chilling in every sense of the word, with plenty of terrifying, adrenaline-pumping moments that build it to a powerful and shockingly nihilistic conclusion. It's a harsh and uncompromising movie (hewing more closely to the original 1930s story "Who Goes There?")--so much so that it probably never would have been given a green-light by any studio in the more cautious and doggedly upbeat 1990s. --Jim Emerson

Description

Dirk Benedict (TV’s The A-Team), sexy Melanie Griffith (Cherry 2000) and Frank Gorshin (TV’s Batman) star in this zany romantic comedy from director Robert Butler (Up the Creek, Turbulence). Deep below a posh Beverly Hills hotel you’ll find the Underground Aces—a fun-loving, fast-driving, slightly larcenous team of car-parking jockeys. Life in the underground parking lot is far from dull. There’s soccer, for a start—played with a giant weather balloon and two sports cars—then there’s false fire alarms, a kidnapping on horseback and a lovesick sheik to contend with. When the Aces aim to instruct the sheik in the intricacies of American-style romance, their scheming goes a bit too far and what started as a little simple matchmaking turns into an all-out riot complete with high-speed chases—and even a trained housefly. Underground Aces has got to be one of the funniest, wackiest, warmest films you’ll ever see! The amazing supporting cast includes Michael Winslow (Police Academy), Robert Hegyes (TV’s Welcome Back, Kotter), Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses), Jerry Orbach (TV’s Law & Order), T.K. Carter (Runaway Train), Randy Brooks (Reservoir Dogs), Audrey Landers (TV’s Dallas) and Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters). Special Features: • Brand New HD Master – From a 2K Scan of the 35mm Interpositive • NEW Audio Commentary by Horror-Fix.com’s James G. Chandler and Ash Hamilton • Optional English Subtitles Top About this item Similar From the Brand Reviews Underground Aces [Blu-ray]
