If you're into cheezy low-budget SF movies, this is the collection for you, four movies for ten bucks. Here's a brief synopsis of the movies:

Slipstream: A post-apocalyptic movie about an android wanted for murder on the run from the law. Probably the strongest of the four movies. Mark Hamill plays a bounty hunter, and Ben Kingsly and F. Murray Abraham have cameo appearances.

Abraxas: Jesse Ventura plays galactic cop Abraxas trying to stop bad-guy Secundus from getting the anti-life equation and destroying the world, and at the same time save the life of an innocent woman and her child caught up in Secundus's scheme.

Creature: Reminiscent of Alien, a crew of NTI, an American company fight against an alien creature on Saturn's moon of Titan.

Laser Mission: Spy movie starring Brandon Lee as he tries to rescue a scientist from an evil Russian trying to create a super-laser weapon.

CONTENTS of FUTURE SHOCK 4 Movie Pack:

ABRAXAS, GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE-- This film's director, Damian Lee, co-stars with Jesse "The Body" Ventura in a tale of a policeman from another world who comes to Earth to apprehend a fellow alien who wants to alter human genetics by impregnating a woman. Blatant "Terminator" ripoff.

CREATURE-- Scientists on a Saturnian moon discover the bodies of a previous expedition and the monster that killed them.

LASER MISSION-- Mind numbing story about a huge diamond needed for a mega-laser cannon some KGBers are after and the CIA good guys who oppose them.

SLIPSTREAM-- A bleak film about an even bleaker future Planet Earth. Mankind survives in small numbers after worldwide disasters take their toll. The Slipstream is an overpowering wind that a bounty hunter and his captive must battle. Further complicating matters are two pursuing policemen the bounty hunter stole his prisoner from in order to claim the cash award on the man's head.


BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.

FUTURE COPS is a similar BRENTWOOD sci-fi 4 movie pack.

These are GREAT MOVIES! As for the actors in the movies putting out bad movies, Mark Hamill played LUKE SKYEWALKER in episodes 4, 5 and 6 of Star Wars, a trilogy (now a 6 movie series) that will forever be known as one of Hollywoods GREATEST achievements.
Furthermore, IF YOU LIKE CHEESY SCI FI MOVIES, you'll like this product.
I LOVE these movies and so do my step dad, mother, step mom, father, both of my brothers, my step sister, and her 3 kids. That's 10 people who enjoyed this product thoroughly.

GREAT PRODUCT FOR CHEESY SCI-FI AFFECTIONADOS, BAD PRODUCT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR CHEESYNESS AND CLICHES.

Wow. Four sci-fi movies. Great price. It's "almost" tempting accept the offer. You'd think that they'd bother to LIST THE TITLES! The actors listed on the poster/image for the four-pack have made an awful lot of, well, awful films. Who could guess "which" four awful films you can get for under ten bucks?

Dunno about you, but I'm not spending my money on a DVD version of "mystery meat".
