Movie Reviews of Stone Cold

Movie Review: Deceiving product info for a great action flick.
Summary: 4 Stars

OK, this is a review of the DVD. I've already reviewed this fantastic biker flick elsewhere on this site and you fans deserve to know what you are paying for so read this before you rush out and buy this crappy DVD release.

First of all, the DVD clearly states that is presents a Widescreeen and Fullscreen version. But then if you look further into the specs listed, it also says the DVD is being presented in 1:33:1 which is a sneaky way of saying 4:3 or as we most understand that to be.....FULLSCREEN!

This DVD is a flipper, and on the unmarked side you get what appears to be a fullscreen presentation. Now, flip it over to the side that is actually marked "Widescreen" and you will get NOT a widescreen version, but a fullscreen version that has been cropped at the top and the bottom so as to give the false appearance of being widescreen. But as you watch, you will notice that key images in certain scenes are only 1/2 visible. It became obvious when I got the tape measure out to confirm what I already suspected....cropped top and bottom. Shame shame shame.

The sound gets no props either. Again the specs tell you that this is a Dolby Surround audio, but it doesn't sound like it. All the sound is to the front, and mostly directed to the center channel. My impression is that this is basically a "stereo" mixing that does nothing to enhance the action. The sound you hear in the surround speakers is just residual noise, not much else. You'll have to listen to this one at full volume for effect.

On the plus side, the DVD transfer is very crisp and clean. The images are sharp, and the colors are very deep. I'm shocked actually at the clarity of detail for such a lousy DVD treatment, but the video looks great. Nothing else in the package, no extras, no liner notes, no bios, nada. So there you go, buy this DVD because you love the movie, but don't buy it expecting to be blown away by it cause you likely wont be unless you're seeing it for the first time. 5 stars for the movie minus one pitiful star for this DVD.

Movie Review: Stone Cold
Summary: 4 Stars

Obviously "Boz" hasn't made a career in movies any more than Howie Long did, but I love their movies. I personally think movies like this are just fun. Now granted the guys will probably like them better as their is lots of T&A in this one, but the acting isn't bad, and the sets and music are good. Brian Bosworth plays a cop on suspension that is coerced by the FBI to go undercover and join a biker gang to take them down. Lance Henriksen and William Forsyth do a good job of playing the bad guys. Having rode with the Salty Dawgs many many years ago and knowing other clubs I have to say this is fairly realistic biker movie. The meet in the movie reminded me of one of the barbeques I went to when I rode. The statement "Colors never run", is a code with all bikers and a fellow biker saved my life once so it isn't something you forget. Good quality DVD but no extras. Decent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Firestorm" and "One Man's Justice".

Movie Review: The "Boz's" best movie
Summary: 4 Stars

By far the best movie Brian Bosworth ever made. Undercover cop infiltrates a motorcycle gang led by b-movie superstar Lance Henriksen and William Forsyth. Bosworth is certainly able to handle the physical part of the role and with the success of the movie many things were expected of him in the action genre. But that never materialized. He made mostly direct to video movies and disappeared for quite awhile all mtogether. I see on IMDB that he has 3 completed movies this year. So we will see if he has a comeback or not. Back to the movie, lots of action and highly enjoyable.

Movie Review: 1% Biker Club Informant
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very entertaining movie and Brian Bosworth does a decent job of acting. Some very nice bikes and some realistic parts of the movie. Many of the scenes are typical Hollywood more than motorcycle clubs but that is to be expected.

If you want to be entertained for 90 minutes and can tolerate some over the top stretches of realism you will enjoy this movie.
