Highlander 2 - Renegade Version (The Director's Cut)Highlander 2 - Renegade Version (The Director's Cut)
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $4.05
Considered the worst Highlander film, Sean Connery is in it which I say automatically gives it three stars. Yes the mystery and mystic aspect is gone but it's an interesting take on the story.
Highlander - The Final Dimension (Special Director's Cut)Highlander - The Final Dimension (Special Director's Cut)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.46
Considered the best of the sequels, but I know Highlander fans will think I'm nuts but I like Highlander 2 better. The illusion driving scene was just to mystic for my taste. The upside is this alternate sequel to the first sticks more with the storyline.
Highlander - EndgameHighlander - Endgame
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.36
Not a sequel to the original movie, but a film based off the hit T.V. series. It's not a masterpiece but they bring back Conner McLeod one last time.
Highlander: The SourceHighlander: The Source
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.28
We were told we'd learn of the true origins of the Immortals here and we just learn some for the most part irrelevant information and a cop out ending to bout. Still the action was alright and I welcome anything Highlander. Any Highlander fan should see this once.
Alien 3 (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Alien 3 (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.50
After the smash hit Aliens it's no wonder why people weren't fond of this one. I loved the dark atmosphere and Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley I think was at her best here. I think this movie holds the record for using the F word the most times. Seriously try to keep count.
Alien ResurrectionAlien Resurrection
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $6.14
So the plot makes it obvious they were desperate to come up with another sequel, that doesn't stop Sigourney Weaver from giving a good performance, just watch when she tries to say the word fork. If you liked the idea of multiple aliens rather than a single one you'll like this better than Alien 3.
AVP - Alien Vs. Predator - The Unrated Edition (Collector's Edition)AVP - Alien Vs. Predator - The Unrated Edition (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $2.19
I waited for this puppy forever. So the conclusion was a cop out if you loved the video game you'll like this a little bit.
Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (Unrated Edition)Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.48
When they said this would be rated R as opposed to the first one they weren't kidding!!! One of the most brutal movies I've ever seen. If you hated the first one don't bother, if you liked the first one you'll love this one!
Tremors 2: AftershocksTremors 2: Aftershocks
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.89
I'll just come out and say if there's such a thing as a B Movie this is it. If you can get passed that it's actually pretty funny. The Burt Gummer character was what carried this movie.
Tremors 3 - Back to PerfectionTremors 3 - Back to Perfection
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.40
While this had a cheap budget, Burt Gummer impresses again. "Is your head up your *** for the warmth?!"
Exit WoundsExit Wounds
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.01
The last noteworthy movie Seagal did before his career went straight to hell with those straight to DVD movies.
The ProphecyThe Prophecy
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.87
Very different kind of movie dealing with a war between two different sects of angels.
PROPHECY 2PROPHECY 2
Buy used from: $5.54
Unappreciated sequel. It was odd to see a young Brittney Murphy in this. This was one of Christopher Walken's bet roles.
PhantasmPhantasm
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $5.90
This is a classic horror movie. I only put it on this list because no one under the age of 40 has heard of it. Original in everyway. Still waiting for Phantasm 2 to come out on DVD.
Phantasm III: Lord of the DeadPhantasm III: Lord of the Dead
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $5.89
While it was good it felt more like an action flick than a horror movie. Still the last 5 minutes will leave you dieing for the next one. You have to see Phantasm 2 to understand this one.
Phantasm 4: OblivionPhantasm 4: Oblivion
Buy used from: $3.90
Not as action-packed as 2 and 3 which in some ways is a good thing. Some questions about the Tall Man are answered but still so much more we never learn. I doubt a fifth will ever happen, it's been ten years.
The SpecialistThe Specialist
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.99
If you've seen movies dealing with hitmen than this probably won't be anything new for you. I love the villain played by James Woods in this movie and any Stallone fan will probably like it.
AssassinsAssassins
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $1.98
This movie will come across as extremely dated, but who says that's a bad thing. Stallone and Antonio are great together on screen.
Rocky VRocky V
Buy used from: $1.58
I appreciated this Rocky film, it went back to the basics. So it's not the best, I enjoyed it all the way through.
The Hard WayThe Hard Way
Buy used from: $3.80
A lot of people for some reason don't like James Woods, but I do. Has a much better premise than most comedies about cops.
Judge DreddJudge Dredd
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.88
This came from a comic book, hmmm! I just liked this for what it is, an action movie with Stallone doing what he does best.
Robocop 2Robocop 2
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.06
This was equally good as the first until the last 15 minutes or so. The fight between Robocop and the evil machine was poorly done. Still it has the same brilliant humor as before, hiliarous! You honestly wanted Robocop to nail that annoying little gangster kid.
Robocop 3Robocop 3
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.53
"My friends call me Murphy. You may call me Robocop!" So the flying scene was a little lame, the rest of the movie was good.
Conan the DestroyerConan the Destroyer
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $4.93
Not dark and serious like the first one, more campy. Still any Conan or Schwarzenegger fan won't hate this sequel.
Beverly Hills Cop IIIBeverly Hills Cop III
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.54
Not well recieved like the first two, but I thought it had the same elements that made the others great though I'll admit it's the weakest of the trilogy.
Vampires - Los MuertosVampires - Los Muertos
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.45
Bon Jovi plays the lead role in this. Fun horror film about vampires.
EquilibriumEquilibrium
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.24
Before he was Batman he was an officer for a fascist regime. This is essentially an action version of, "1984."
Hannibal (Two-Disc Special Edition)Hannibal (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.93
The score made this movie even more creepy. There was this one in your face, gross scene towards the end. This film didn't suffer with Jodi Foster backing out.
Hannibal Rising (Unrated Widescreen Edition)Hannibal Rising (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.54
While this movie left me wondering why Hannibal had a french accent instead of a British one this was nicely done. Still they could easily do another one about how he ascends in the world of psychology and why he kept killing after he completed what he set out to do in this one.
Aeon Flux (Special Collector's Edition)Aeon Flux (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.49
Don't let the fact that this is an MTV based film deter you from seeing this. Nice action-packed vision of the future.
Freddy vs. Jason (New Line Platinum Series)Freddy vs. Jason (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.37
This is not a horror movie, but a comedy. I swear on all that is sacred! They tried so hard to make this good that all there was to it was humor. You'll laugh yourself silly. I'm not saying I hate this, I own it. No way does this have the same spirit as the original Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street. Still this is one of the best B Movies ever!
Mad Max Beyond ThunderdomeMad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $1.94
Tina Turner's acting is actually pretty good. This has little in common with the first Mad Max, but it's not to far from the second hit, "Road Warrior".
Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $1.98
While not as good as the first I can't understand why it stopped here. I'd welcome a third! This topped the box office for at least two weeks.
Transporter 2Transporter 2
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.00
Pales in comparison to the first, but the creators really make you hate the villians and can't wait to see them get it.
End of DaysEnd of Days
Buy used from: $0.98
After about a two year hiatus Arnold returned with a different role. He's not a one-man army. I was into the whole world ending in the year 2000 idea, this came out at the end of 1999.
Once Upon a Time in MexicoOnce Upon a Time in Mexico
Buy new: $14.94 / Used from: $0.95
The action makes this worth seeing, but the plot left a lot to be desired. Antonio had very few lines to bout.
Collateral DamageCollateral Damage
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $0.01
This was postponed for release after 9/11. Of course being an action movie people missed the point they were trying to make. Seeking vengeance will only lead to more killing.
GodzillaGodzilla
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.36
I hate the old school Godzilla films, but I liked the American take of it.
The Mummy Returns (Widescreen Collector's Edition)The Mummy Returns (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $1.35
The Scorpion King at the end sucked and wasn't needed. The humor and adventure aspect makes this an OK sequel. I can't wait for the third with Jet Li!
Kill Bill - Volume TwoKill Bill - Volume Two
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.40
Many brushed this off because it had little action compared to the first part. The story is still good and you'll watch the whole thing at attention just to see the end.
