Incomplete without the soundtrack's music video
I'm not gonna buy it because they didn't include
The Jewel of the Nile Special Edition is NOT anamorphic
I looked at the package for The Jewel of the Nile Special Edition today and saw that the movie was widescreen but was not anamorphic (not enhanced for widescreen televisions).If the information on the package is accurate, then Fox did not make the release very special.This is a good movie, but I would suggest waiting until an anamorphic version is released.

I'd Marry Joan
It's hard to believe this DVD is (at least temorarily) unavailable retail. This is one of the few instances when the sequel is better than the original (Romancing the Stone). It's one of the few films with a really good first person portrayl of a writer (Kathleen Turner as Joan). Whatever you think of Michael Douglas, this appearance must rate near the top of hisleast stereotyped performances. Danny DeVito is great as a would-be heavy. This is almost a latter-day James Bond film except the heroine is an everyday Everywoman.

Editorial Review

Pamela Sue Martin kicked off the goody two shoes from her Nancy Drew image to play the feisty farm girl with Hollywood dreams who walked out of the Biograph on the arm of John Dillinger the night he was killed by the FBI. John Sayles wrote this depression-era gangster drama, loosely based on the real story of Polly Hamilton (renamed Polly Franklin for the film), and stuffs plenty of sex and social commentary around a surprisingly faithful recounting of the real-life event. Martin transforms from naive young thing to brassy hustler without losing her sweetness, and Robert Conrad is quite the gentleman hoodlum as Dillinger, but the unsung hero of the piece is Robert Forster, uncredited but indelible as a hit man who falls for fallen woman Polly. Colorful, action packed, and full of underdog spunk, this is exploitation moviemaking with a populist sensibility. Read more

The Lady in Red
Stylish crime-drama about the lifestory of Dillinger's girlfriend 'the lady in red' completely set in the 1930's. Excellent yet violent story re-creates the feel of the era & sticks to facts

Amazing look at a poor girl stuggling to make a living.
THis movie I watched when I was quiet younger.I belive in the early eighties.I was amazed by the story and all the plots and turns.Great vinatge wear,and good action.I have looked a long time for this movie, usually in Movie stores, they always refer to the movie with Gene Wilder.I am glad amazon has it and will be mine soon.Thanks ...

Totally Different From the Book...
My grandma told me how scary she found the movie about 20 years ago, when my mom brought it home and said they should watch it. She knew I was into horror but I couldn't find the movie in the store. I bought the book which I thought was great and very well-written, percieving the story from the eyes of each character, including the dog during his change from mild-mannered and housebroken to rabid and terrifying.
A very good adaptation of a Stephen King novel.....................
I read the book, and really enjoyed it, the film is actually better. Dee Wallace is stellar in this role, she gave it her all, and it shows. For a film that spends 40 minutes in a car trapped, you will not be dissapointed, it is errie, creapy, and very suspenseful. Not the greatest soundtrack, but o-well. I agree with another reviewer, what is up with the cover art, pretty cheesy, just put the original poster on it. Any Stephen King fan knows what this film is about. The little boy gets annoying at times, but o-well, if that was me at that age, I probably would have crapped my pants. A very good film to view on a dark and cold fall evening. We need the widescreen and dts version, and a few extras would be cool. Enjoy it, every time I see a St. Bernard I get a few chills, that is saying something.

Two problems about this dvd
I give it one star for the dvd. I give the movie 5 stars or more if I could. Starting out is, everyone who is a die hard fan of this movie knows this is suppose to be a widescreen motion picture. hell even on TNT high definition tv, they aired it in the right aspect so I had to tape it because ive never got to see it in its actual aspect. Second of all the box art gives the whole movie away. being reason I say this is because of the poster art of the movie and the old warner vhs tape shows no sign of what kind of creature is cujo. I know it might not be a big deal to some people but when I first rented this movie, I was so curious about what CUJO was, The box art and original theatrical poster art was so unique that you were guessing what kind of horror is this. Well I know people are going to say, READ THE BOOK DUMMY and you will know. Well I am not a book reader but I was so excited to know what kind of killer was CUJO and was a dog, I kinda had a hunch though. This movie is fantastic. One of those kinds that you could just sit there and feel that everything on the show was really actually happening and not just acting. That is a good movie! One last thing. Dont go buying this peice of junk dvd. wait until warner releases the true format and maybe some extra features to go along. THey did it with the classic. Lost boys ... Read more

A-minus concept, B-plus execution
I'd like to see this one on DVD. It's a pretty good movie. RIVETING......
The concept is totally progressive and intriguing while you get totally drawn into this wildly insane and intense "game of life" For anyone who wants some excitement for a couple of hours!But beware, it will stick in your brain - - this could very well be the future........

Good Rutger Hauer+Mimi Rogers combo.
Good science fiction, with a novel twist (prisoners are kept together by explosive neck-braces that will explode if they are seperated more than 100 yards) is nearly done in by mediocre production values and a plot thatnearly deteriorates near the end.The love story is pretty pale too,though Hauer and Rogers make it worth seeing. ...

not a horror movie(except for the fact it is a horror to watch)
sstephen king can blame no one but himself for this missfire of a movie,because HE WROTE THIS JUNK! never finds it's feet, horror,comedy,drama,fantasy,adventure,and even thriller,it tries to be all and fails at each one!!! skip it!!!

It's the cat's meow!
I watched Cat's Eye last night, for the first time in at least 15 years, and I'm happy to say it STILL doesn't disappoint. Not as dated as you'd expect after all this time either. Cat's Eye isn't scary, though has some suspenseful moments. I don't think anyone would be scared except small children (in particular for the last story) but they shouldn't be watching this sort of thing anyway.
Hokey 80's stuff.
This is a very mild mid 80's horror film.Most Stephen King based films seem to have a distinct style. Cat's Eye is another classic King along these lines, a little bit of a hokey production.Another movie adapted from one of King's novella style short stories in his early days, a la; "Tales from the darkside" and "Creepshow". A story in 3 parts from a cats point of view, These tales eminating from Kings fertile warped imagination, seem to be a milder form of horror than some other works. Although not realy a comedy and not realy a horror, it's nowhere near his quirkiest. Sometimes the simple stories are transfered better than others from his literature and suited the theme at the time, to come up with a collection of short stories with a twist.As a Stephen King fan I can watch and enjoy anything based from his work , so if you're expecting to be thrilled by this film, check your allegiance as a 'King' fan first. Otherwise it could be mistaken as realy bad 80's film! ... Read more

true story
This is a fictionalized story of Newark, New Jersey's Anthony Imperiale who, despite being called by some a vigilante, was a great humanitarian who helped anyone in need regardless of their color or background. He served as a Newark City Councilman, and as both a New Jersey State Assemblyman and Senator. Originally this movie was supposed to be a true version of his story, but some how the deal fell through. There is one part in the movie where some footage of him is used. He passed away 12/26/99.

Underrated
Taking place in a crime-ridden Philadelphia neighborhood, Fighting Back is the story of a blue-collar Italian-American businessman played by Tom Skerritt who, after seeing his own family victimized, begins a neighborhood watch association that soon transforms into a squad of well-meaning but violent vigilantes.As Skerritt is both recruited by local politicians and targeted by the street gang that controls his neighborhood, the organization slowly grows out of control until it becomes as much a threat to freedom as the criminals it pursues.Unfairly dismissed as a Death Wish rip-off when originally released, Fighting Back is actually a far more intelligent film than most urban vigilante films and actually makes a fairly succesful attempt to realistically examine the consequences of such actions.The violence is surprisingly brutal and the film manages to find room for actual character development so that, for once, the action doesn't take place in a vacuum devoid of emotion.Lewis Teague, along with Joe Dante, is one of the best (and most intelligent) directors working in the field of "genre" filmmaking and he directs with a nicely natrualistic feel.The acting, on the whole, is good with only the film's main street gang coming across as stick figures.Michael Sarrazin turns in a good performance as Skerritt's best friend who becomes the first to suspect that their cure to crime might be worse than the actual disease while a pre-Sledgehammer David Rasche has a lot of fun in a small role as a reporter.The film's main strength is with Tom Skerritt who, surprisingly for those who remember him mostly from Picket Fences, is totally convincing as a serious-minded, blue collar Italian from Philadelphia.He brings a nice bit of ambiguity to the role and never tries to make his character a saint or a super hero.He gives the film a much needed dose of humanity that is missing from films like Death Wish and its clones.All-in-all, Fighting Back is an unjustly underrated film that deserves more attention than it's been given.

FIGHTING BACK
After his family is assaulted by thugs, Italian deli owner Tom Skerritt forms the People's Neighborhood Patrol to clean up the crime ridden streets of Philadelphia.FIGHTING BACK is an above-average vigilante/revenge film in the vein of DEATH WISH, VIGILANTE and DEFIANCE.It was made back in the early 1980's when urban violence had reached a peak (and Skerritt's career consisted of more than Aleve commercials).The film's highlights include some suprisingly shocking violence and disgusting inner city locals.A feel good movie it is not.The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star action flick is a political subplot that slows down the pace of last half of the film.But that aside, FIGHTING BACK succeeds in being an adrenaline filled beat 'em up movie that really packs a punch. ...

My god, what a mess of a film
There is a reason why Jay Leno himself will not acknowledge this film. It consistently ranks as one of the worst films of all time. The acting is horrible, the script lacks direction and the director himself doesn't seem sure on which way to take this film. "A buddy film," "an action/comedy," or "cop/who dunit." Seems half way through, he gives up, and is just along for the ride. Jay Leno and Pat Morita are talented and dedicated performers. It is a shame that they wasted their time and gifts making this mess of a movie. Jay Leno and Pat Morita prior to involving themselves with this, had spent years pounding out their crafts on the Hollywood circuit. Mr. Morita (who sadly passed away November 24, 2005,) had already been a star in his own right, acting steadily since the mid 1960s as the star of such cult TV and movie classics as "Happy Days," and the quickly cancelled but affable "Mr. T and Tina." Pat had won the hearts of America with his roles in the powerful film "Midway," (1976,) andalso appeared in "The Karate Kid," (1984, for which he was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor",) as well as "Honeymoon in Las Vegas," (1992) and a host of others. Mr. Leno can been seen on TV shows dating back to the mid 70s. And was a top performer in the comedy clubs of America. He can be seen in countless TV spots and in major films. It is a shame, that they agreed to be seen with this nonsense.

Hilarious Combination
Jay Leno and Pat Morita. What more can I say? It is such a weird combo. The jokes are stale and the action isn't all that action-packed, but the "cheese factor" are enough to get 4 stars in my book. That said, you probably wouldn't watch this more than once unless you were on something.

This movie ...
This movie was shown to ex-POW's by our congenial government. It was supposed to be a kind of deprogramming, a "welcome-back-to-USA-pop-culture" sort of thing. The ex-POW's were fed some psychedelic mushrooms, strapped to an arm chair with tattered upholstery, and made to watch this Jay Leno movie from the eighties. I know what you're thinking: "but heh, I thought most of the POW's came back in the late seventies, at the latest!" Well, it seems that you've caught me in a horrible, horrible lie; and I must own up to my mendacity. Would it appease you if I were to contribute dough to some charitable cause? Here ...(sounds of scribbling on a blank check), I'll give something to that American Indian College Fund thang. ... Read more

Well some people posted that this is a ridiculous movie because it doesn't show the real side of US Armed Forces, i fully disagree with them, this is an action movie, it is intended to entertain the viwers, in my opinion does that and more! When i saw this movie for the first time i didn't even know anything about the Navy Seals. After watching this movie i considered the Navy Seals the nº1 Special Force arround the world.
Absurd in the light of reality
Sixteen years after this was made, it is sort of amusing to see what "someone in Hollywood" thought would be a great morale booster in terms of displaying our military capabilities. Now that we know the reality of the situation of dealing with terrorists abroad, the flimsy premises of this tawdry little film seem even more ridiculous. But - at its core - it was an idiotic film then, and an even more idiotic film now.

What more can i say!,except that it is a fast paced action movie. Entertainment if you want reality watch TLC.
While I enjoyed the movie I no more believe that this is a true representation of Navy Seals than I thoughtBackdraft is how a Fire Department works. That does not change the fact that I still enjoyed theshow.

INCREDIBABLY STUPID!
Preposterous nonsense! Excuse me for being redundant, but this reviewer feels that not enough bad things can be said about this movie. When I was twelve, my first future ex-boyfriend and I used to play DAMSEL IN DISTRESSas he would successfully rescue from the garage where I was hiding. I'mglad Charlie Sheen and his fellow pirates weren't trying to rescue mebecause I'd still be there. They have no clue, and no plan. I bet the realSEALS are disgusted by this mess. A no-brainer. ...
