Mercs (Soldiers of Fortune 10 Feature Film Collection)

If you're looking for the finest action films the 1980s produced, you should probably look elsewhere. But if you want hours and hours of cheesy action entertainment, you need to buy this collection of off-brand pics that time (and the IMDB) forgot. Yes, the quality on some is certainly not crystal-clear, 1080p, hi-rez whatever, but, like the bad-asses contained in these movies, they get the job done. Highlights: Tiger Joe (an actual good movie) and the immortal Reb Brown's star turn in Strike Commando.

What we have here is a collection of very seldom seem in the United States of action and war films from Italy and the Philippines. The problem is this collection of film prints, on two double-sided DVDs and one single-sided DVD, are taken directly from Greek, Japanese and VHS tapes from other countries, so while the language is English, you will have to put up with large Greek and Japanese subtitles while watching some of the titles. I liked most of the films, but VideoAsia is known as a bootleg company and very rarely takes their prints from actual film, rather using VHS prints instead (without the licencor's permission). Some of the films are barely watchable because of this, while other look pretty good, if you can put up with random video roll-outs and other VHS related problems. But if you want to see some bloody 1980's action films, 30% of them never released in the U.S., this is the only way to see them. It's up to you whether it is worth it or not. The films are:1) TIGER JOE2) WARBUS (My favorite in this collection)3) MANNIGAN'S FORCE4) STRIKE COMMANDO5) OPERATION NAM6) FIREBACK7) SOLDIER OF FORTUNE8) DEATH RAIDERS (from Indonesia)9) RAIDERS OF THE LOST IVORY10) LAST MERCENARY

STRIKE COMMANDO!

Great bunch of movies for the price. Highly recommend.

Fantastic cheesy fun.

I enjoyed the movie.. It was good!!!!!

I've also finnished watching this. Been a busy weekend watching films. But not a moment was wasted with this. I really love all of the martial arts stuff that they have going on here. I'm totally amped up right now on this stuff. They had some really cool stuff in here. Definitely worth the time spent watching.

There are 3 discs with 2 films on each side, third disc just has 2 films on one side.. Playlist is as follows.Strike CommandoMannigans ForceDeath RaidersOperation NamFirebackRaiders Of The Magic IvoryLast MercenarySoldier Of FortuneWar BusTiger JoeI'd rate picture quality between 1 and 4 out of 10. That's bad so spread your viewing as that's quite a strain. Bad VHS reproductions but as the films are fairly obscure action, adventure flicks with the usual shootings, explosions and mayhem that require little thought to watch it's a 3star type of entertainment for those whole like this genre.

good movies
