5.0 out of 5 stars Please release this movie on DVD!!!!, November 9, 2006
By 
A. L. Smith "AmyLuLu" (memphis, tennessee United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Shots [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I love this movie. It has adventure, comedy and a heartwarming story of
friendship and fatherhood. But don't get it twisted. This is not sappy, sugar coated kiddie movie. These kids have car chases with the police and the mob. You may remember Darius McClary from "Family Matters". It was the sitcom that made Steve Urkel a household name. Darius played Eddie Winslow. Anywho. Whenever you need a too laugh you self silly and see
some of the best car chases since "Smokey and The Bandit" , this is the flick for you. I've showed this movie to everyone I know from 18-85 years old and they all enjoyed it. This is truly a buried treasure.

Dear Santa...it's 12/19/10 and I am still waiting for my dvd copy of this movie. Maybe if I am a good I will get my copy for christmas next year. Ok. I know you tried. Whenever I get it I am sure it will be worth the wait. Maybe even some dvd extras. I now have an AARP card and I still love this movie. I have cookies to bake so I have to go now. Be blessed and not stressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two cool for school, October 19, 2006
By 
Nate (Brisbane, QLD AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Shots [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A worthy purchase if you can get your hands on it. A shame it is not available on DVD yet. A great movie from the 80's, with good performances from two young actors. Paul Winfield is great too. The story is simple and easy to follow, one of those movies you will watch over and over.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent film!, November 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Big Shots [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It was an excellent film about a sheltered, inexperience white boy coming of age with the help of a street savvy young hoodlum. Recommended for all who want an enjoyable, funny, and relaxing film.
