Product Description

When master thief Sam Quint (Tommy Lee Jones Academy Award®-winning Best Supporting Actor for THE FUGITIVE) is hired by the government to steal top-secret data from a crime organization, he hides the stolen data in the experimental supercar, The Black Moon. But when the car is stolen by high-tech auto thief Nina (Linda Hamilton THE TERMINATOR,
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY), Quint must pull off the most daring heist of all: break into an impenetrable skyscraper and steal it back. With time
running out and all sides closing in, Quint and Nina take The Black Moon on one final ride towards a shattering climax of sky-high suspense. Robert Vaughn, Richard Jaeckel, Bubba Smith and Keenan Wynn co-star in this high-speed action thriller,
written by John Carpenter (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, HALLOWEEN)

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a good DVD version! - A great 80's B-Movie!, January 15, 2008
This review is for the Black Moon Rising DVD with UPC 013131549690 and ASIN: B000WC38DM, from Starz / AnchorBay. DVD Release Date: December 18, 2007.

There are several versions of Black Moon Rising available on DVD. Please be aware that many have VERY poor transfers, are full-screen (cropped), and some are even missing the opening computer "text" that sets up the plot. I've purchased three versions on DVD and this one (The 2007 release) seems to be the only one that finally gets it right.

Black Moon Rising is based on a story by John Carpenter, who is also listed as a co-writer of the screenplay. If you're looking for a good action B-Movie from the 80's, Black Moon Rising should be at the top of your list. Here's why....

Perfectly cast; Tommy Lee Jones totally owns the role of "Quint", a character that should have seen many more big screen adventures. Linda Hamilton, fresh off her "Terminator" success, delivers a fine performance as "Nina", a professional car thief. Film and TV veteran Robert Vaughn (The Man From UNCLE, Magnificent Seven) makes an excellent villain. Even the supporting cast (Bubba Smith, Richard Jaeckel, Lee Ving) are right on target!

I cannot review this movie without also mentioning the OUTSTANDING score by legendary tv and film composer Lalo Schifrin, who is perhaps best known for having created the "mission impossible" theme. I must also mention the incredible "Black Moon" car, which looks absolutely great!

The weakest link within the film is a screenplay that could have used a rewrite, and a few special effects in need of a bit more work. But in the end, it's the cast, music, and overall "style" of the film that more than makes up for the low-budget and script problems.

Black Moon Rising is a low-budget, 80's B-Movie that is certain to entertain! And with this DVD release, we finally get a decent, unedited transfer of the film!!

I agree; FINALLY a great DVD version of an unjustly "forgotten" movie! If you're a Carpenter fanatic like I am, YOU NEED TO GET THIS! And the price is RIGHT!

Peace!

5.0 out of 5 stars Black Moon Rising
An older, but just as great, movie with two of my favorite actors in it, Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton. Plenty of action and thrills.
