Rating:  - action movies

Rating:  - Movie mis-identified
The movie titled "Manhunt" in this set is not as described (a 1958 Western with Don Murray, also known as "From Hell to Texas"). It is instead a one-star 1972 Italian gangster movie with Henry Silva and Woody Strode, originally titled "La Mala ordina," shown full-screen in uncorrected CinemaScope. But at less than 35 cents per movie, does it matter? There are enough gems in this set (e.g., the 1920 silent "Last of the Mohicans" with Wallace Beery) to make it well worth buying.
Rating:  - still born action flicks hurt this collection
i own many of these 50 movie packs and i like almost all of them,but this collection is one that just doesn't do much for me.
the movies collected here are of the grade b thru z movies and action is the one thing that is in short supply in the set. some are so bad that they are funny but most are just plain bad. and for once i have to say that i found the transfers to be very poor as some of the movies are almost unwatchable. while most of these sets are very much worth the price this set isn't worth even half the price that they are asking for.
Rating: - no oscar winners here but some fun if you let it
i own many of these sets and i like most of them. this is a nice set of b thru z grade action movies from the golden age of hollywood. as always if good transfers and a list movies are what you are after then stay away.
Rating: - Not really action movies.
This is not "50 Action Movies" as much as it is "50 Old Mostly Bad Movies We Had Laying Around and Thought We Could Package and Sell Somehow".
Still, many of these movies are unintentionally funny and make good MST3K fodder.
Some are unbelieveably surreal. Like "Funeral for an Assassin"" which is a South African movie in which we are expected to root for the Apartheid govt. I found myself hoping that the assassin would wipe out the entire South African Apatheid govt, but alas.......
Some are just plain awful. Like "Submarine Alert".
But there's an Ed Wood classic included..."Jail Bait". Always good for a laugh.
I'd say the 50 movies are worth the money but just keep in mind that a good half of this set are unforgiveably bad movies and not even enjoyable for the laughs. They should have included "Gigli". It would have fit right into this set.
