5.0 out of 5 stars About time, June 16, 2009

By	Bob Short (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

A great film. One of my personal favourites and finally a decent 235:1 transfer with improved sound. I was as excited to see this DVD as when I saw it on its original release. You just can't watch a John Carpenter film in anything but its original aspect.

3.0 out of 5 stars From the Director of HALLOWEEN!!!, March 3, 2009

By	Pumpkin Man - See all my reviews

This is the original Assault on Precinct 13! It's very different from the remake! The action and violence is pretty cool! It seemed like a classic videogame whenever the cops were shooting the bad guys through the windows. It sucked that the little girl died, all she wanted was ice cream. I think John Carpenter did a great job at directing this! If you love classic action, you'll love ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13!!!
