I was a bit suspect of two movies on one disc but after viewing both flicks on my Aquos flat-screen, I must admit, they are damn good transfers. This was perhaps Eddy Murphy's best work and they both represent the flavor of 1980s movie making in Hollywood. Anamorphic Widescreen is the best for 16x9 TV viewing, these films won't disappoint any fan of the Nolte/Murphy genre.

this double feature DVD improves on the original DVD letterboxed video with anamorphic widescreen. video is a little soft but I remember the theatrical picture was a little soft so this is acceptable. these are good action movies but why the disrespect in not releasing these movies with remastered video/audio, features and commentary? these movies were at least as important as Beverly Hills Cops and Trading Places to a young Eddie Murphy's career and Beverly Hills Cop got the box set treatment.

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.
EDDIE MURPHY'S GREATEST ROLE OF HIS CAREER.
FULL OF COMEDY AND SENSELESS VIOLENCE, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR ?

Good, solid early Eddie Murphy movies. These were made back when he was still learning his craft & they were both decently entertaining...both when I saw the original releases & now. Nolte was perfect for his role too...back when he was a good dependable actor. The movies had pretty good supporting actors too (the first moreso than the sequel). Overall, a respectable effort of " classic" '80s popular
moviemaking.

IN RECENT YEARS EDDIE MURPHY HAS LOST HIS MIND BY THINKING HE HAS SOME SORT OF TALENT SCALE TO BREAK BY DOING SUCH THINGS AS PLAYING 7 CHARACTERS IN THE SAME MOVIE, AND PLAYING IN REMAKES OF BAD MOVIES. HE HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT TALENTS HE USED TO GET HIM INTO THE 40 MILLION DOLLAR PAY DAYS. EACH OF THESE MOVIES ARE THE ORIGINAL EDDIE!!! THE BEST EDDIE MURPHY EVER WAS, AND IT IS ONE OF THE CROWN JEWELS OF MY VIDEO COLLECTION.
TROY AND JANET

48 Hrs.- I thought this was a really good 'buddy cop' film. Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte made a great team. When Detective Jack Cates needs help to find a bad guy named Ganz, Jack seeks the help of Ganz's former partner, Reggie Hammond who is a con-artist and a thief. Jack gets Reggie Hammond on parole for 48 hours so Reggie can help him find Ganz. I highly recommend 48 HRS!!!

Another 48 Hrs.- I thought this was just ok and not as good as the original. Years have passed and Reggie is serving another prison term. This time, Jack is on the verge of having his badge taken away, and needs Reggie's help again to find Ganz's brother, and someone called the 'Iceman' I'd recommend ANOTHER 48 HRS!!!
