Synopsis:



Arnold Schwarzenegger is running for his life in the high-tech futuristic action-adventure The Running Man. Co-starring Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Dweezil Zappa, Mick Fleetwood, Jim Brown, Jesse “The Body” Ventura and, in a critically acclaimed performance, Family Feud host Richard Dawson.
The year is 2019. Television is now ruling people’s lives. In the 21st Century, the most popular “audience participation” game show is “The Running Man” - where convicts can win pardons instead of “parting gifts”, by defeating murderous henchmen known as “stalkers”. The stalkers haven’t had much of a challenge lately... until Ben Richards came along. Wrongly convicted of slaughtering 1500 innocent people, Richards is the next contestant to fight for his life... and his freedom.
When Running Man host Damon Killian says “Come on down!”, be prepared to pay with your life! But Ben Richards isn’t going down without a fight. Off Schwarzenegger goes into the burned-out sections of Los Angeles to face four of Killian’s ace stalkers: Subzero, wielding his razor-sharp hockey sticks; Buzzsaw, the maniacal motorcycle-riding slasher; Dynamo, practicing his deadly electric shock treatment; and Fireball with his mighty flame-throwing arsenal.
Now, the entire country is glued to the tube in a heart-pounding “sudden death” battle!

and much, much more!








Synopsis:



The tough guy hero of the ’40s and the excitement of the ’80s, come together in this dazzling remake of a classic thriller. Mickey Spillane’s “I,The Jury” is updated with all the violence, nudity, wit, and style that was missing from the puritanical original. Straight from the school of the hard-boiled detective comes Mickey Spillane’s hard living private eye – Mike Hammer. 
Played by the ruggedly sexy Armand Assante, Hammer sets out to get the guys who did in his friend Jack. His quest for vengeance leads him onto the paths of the CIA, a sexy therapy center, and a kinky killer. All along the way, there are spectacular chases and incredible excitement. 
With a strong supporting cast featuring Barbara Carrera, Paul Sorvino, Judson Scott and Alan King, and action-packed direction by Richard T. Heffron…  I, THE JURY is first-rate entertainment!
