This is not the Gangster Chronicles series. The original Gangster Wars was released on 2 VHS cassettes( part 1 and 2) this is not it. It is a cut down editors version and is a mess without any continuity and should not be sold as such.

Please can someone tell me how to get the full NBC mini series of 'Gangster Chronicles'? Mail me at cifeacho@hotmail.com

How does one reduce a great mini-series like Gangster Chronicles to a 2 hour movie (Gangster Wars)? Not very well! The result omits major parts of the miniseries, is choppy, and difficult to follow. Mobsters is a much better alternative, but is still not Gangster Chronicles - I want the original!

I remember the original NBC tv series, as it started my love affair with gangster films. This movie has taken all of the "guts" from the mini series, leaving it complete flop in all regards. Joe Penny and the rest of the cast deserve better than this butchered mess. I WANT the original at just about any cost. Can someone help me find it. E-mail me at theasburygroup@yahoo.com Thanks.

I have always loved this movie with Michael Nourri who used to play on the soap opera, The Love of Life, back in the 1960's. This movie was very well put together, and started my love affair with gangster movies also. There is lots of action, nice looking dressed gangsters, and a true to life storyline. Great acting at its best! I can't wait to get a copy on DVD, because the copy I have now is on VHS. This is my favorite gangster movie of all time. I remember the series, The Gangster Chronicles, and people always get these two movies mixed up.

This movie was very good, extremely well acted with a good story line about the gansters of the 1930's. Also, I liked at the end where they said how each of the main gansters's ended up, how some died, some went to prison and some lived out their lives into the early 50's. Now, I know who Lucky Luciano got his name. He not only survived a brutal beating, he lived out his life without being murdered.

Thank you for the opportunity to purcahse this product, Fantastic! The merchandise arrived right on time, packaging is beautiful! The customer service that I recieved from this vendor is "ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING"!! The picture quality is great, I would love to do addtional business with this company.

Cheers,
Richard

this is a great movie. it's about Charles "Lucky" Luciano working his way up from the very beginning, through Prohibition, and all the way to the top. the movie stops after "Lucky" survives his 'One-Way-Ride'. A Must Buy Movie.[....]
