3.0 out of 5 stars Killer DVD box set, December 20, 2007

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

BRENTWOOD 10 Movie Packs offer a variety of cinematic genres at bargain prices. Video transfers of their "B" movies are pretty decent, as is sound. The manufacturer's hinged boxes house DVDs adequately, but be careful the hinged sections don't pull away from the main spine! They're not that easy to reassemble.


HIGHLIGHTS of THE KILLERS 10 Movie Pack:

ROGUE MALE is Sir Robert Thorndyke (Peter O'Toole). His 1939 attempt to kill Adolf Hitler with a high-powered rifle fails.

INCIDENT ON A DARK STREET was originally a TV pilot episode for a crime/drama series. Here, Castellano (The Godfather's Peter Clemenza) is a mob snitch targeted for death and William Shatner (Star Trek's Capt. Kirk) plays the sleaziest bad guy ever. Cast also includes silent screen star Gilbert Roland and David Doyle of Charlie's Angels.

KILL CASTRO's fine roster includes another Godfather alum-- Frankie Pentangeli (Gazzi) and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (Vaughn). The title is this film's plot: an adventurer is involved in an assassination conspiracy against Cuba's very own Fidel.

MURDER ONCE REMOVED stars John Forsythe as a physician who offs his girlfriend's husband.

A KILLING AFFAIR is the story of a woman living in rural West Virginia, who shelters her husband's killer from his pursuers.


BULLET WOUNDS 10 Movie Pack is a similar BCI film bundle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why keep doing this?, July 20, 2004

By	E60 guy - See all my reviews

I don't know why Amazon keep's doing this. This is listed as a ten-movie set. What movies? Why would I buy this without knowing? Ok, if I had NO movies in my collection, I guess I could start with this one. But, as far as I know I already have all ten... Did I miss something?

1.0 out of 5 stars FYI -- The Movies Included, October 4, 2004

By	David L. Duncan (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't understand why Amazon even bothers to list this item if it isn't going to tell you what movies it includes.

I was curious so I looked on another site selling the same product. According to that site, the movies are: "10 full-length features that focus on the actions and psyche of the classic trained killer character. TARGET OF AN ASSASSIN (1978), KILL OR BE KILLED (1993), TO KILL A STRANGER (1983), ROGUE MALE (1976), INCIDENT ON A DARK STREET STREET (1972), PROJECT KILL! (1977), FUNERAL FOR AN ASSASSIN (1977), KILL CASTRO (1980), MURDER ONCE REMOVED (1971), and KILLING AFFAIR (1986)."

I'm not familiar with any of these films and they don't sound very good. By the way, I take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
