5.0 out of 5 stars Finally... "Stick" is here!, March 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stick (Amazon.com Exclusive) (DVD)
While I was thrilled to hear that "Stick" was finally being released on DVD, I was less enthusiastic to hear that it was just a 'manufactured on demand' DVD-R. I had never purchased one of these before, so I was a bit worried about the picture & sound quality. However my fears were laid to rest once the disc arrived. The picture & sound quality come across as good as any other standard DVD. As reported by Robbie, there is no menu or special features, so it's just straight into the film. Thanks to Universal & Amazon for this gem of a film. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good 80's Action Movie, February 21, 2010
By 
Robbie (Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stick (Amazon.com Exclusive) (DVD)
This is one of Burt's better films from the 1980's, with a good supporting cast around him. Burt plays an ex-con who gets on the bad side of some nasty drug dealers in Miami. The movie has some comedy mixed with some romance and plenty of violence. Though I'm no expert on the subject, the video/audio transfer from vhs to dvd seems to be really good. My only minor complaint is that there is no menu or extras on the disc. A behind-the-scenes look at the filming of this movie would have been interesting, as there was a great stunt performed towards the movie's ending. Also, on the back of the dvd case, it states that this disc may not play on a dvd recorder or PC. However, when I played it on a PS3, I had no problems. Overall, a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fat man.., June 1, 2010
By 
CSM101 (Somewhere deep below the earth.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stick (Amazon.com Exclusive) (DVD)
A classic 80's action movie with perfect cheesey drug deal gone bad storyline and revenge! Besides the movie being great by itself, the soundtrack to this movie is perfect. If you are a fan of synthesizer music from great composers like Jan Hammer and Harold Faltermeyer, then this movie and it's awesome soundtrack are for you! This is a DVD-R and not a standard pressed DVD, but don't let that scare you away..the quality is exactly the same as a pressed DVD, though it may have problems in some DVD-ROM drives on computers. This is the widescreen edition of Stick, a film that belongs in any action fan's library!
