Action Double Feature: The Last Hard Men / Sky Riders

exceeded my expectation

I really enjoyed these. A bit of cussing but otherwise good movies.

Action Double Feature: The Last Hard Men / Sky Riders This release is long overdue! This is a great James Coburn double feature (even though its not billed as such) coming from an era of the '70s when they made lower budget movies and turned out pretty good. The Last Hard Men looks great for DVD. The colors are bold, picture detail is good for this older release. Sky Riders the same thing. It's a pure joy to see these two in their original aspect ratio of 2.35 (even though the cover says 1.78)! This comes from an era when they really made widescreen movies (such as other classics from the '70s: Chinatown, Jaws, to name a few). These movies really suffered over the years in poorly pan and scan videotape editions. Shout! just keeps releasing these classics that no other company would dare touch. They just keep outdoing themselves. The two movies on this disc aren't the greatest, but the five star rating is for the product and not the movies themselves. I am so tired of reading reviews of people bashing the films and not telling us the quality of the DVD. For a two on one disc, this looks amazing! There aren't too many compression problems that are too distracting. I prefer to have each movie on its own disc, but hey as long as its done right...This is a great double feature that looks really good for the price you pay.I just can't wait to see what Shout! has in store for us next!Keep up the great work!!

This is what the 70's movies are made of all action and good acting and not todays overblown CGI movies that we see nowadays. You can go wrong with actor James Coburn who stars in both movies. Sky riders is an all action packed movie about hang gliders to the rescue this one is my favorite. Buy it!

Shout Factory did a great job on releasing these on DVD and the quality is great. All movies are in Widescreen and run for about 95mins for each movie. The special features included are the trailers and still galleries for both, both movies are also on a single disk and it's not double sided. These movies star: James Coburn, Charlton Heston, Robert Culp, Susannah York, Barbara Hershey, Harry Andrews, John Beck, Jorge Rivero, plus others! Overall, this is a great DVD and I would recommend it, especially to James Coburn.

sky riders is a hard to find classic b movie from my younger days

Entertaining pair of action movies, with The Last Hard Men being the least known of the pair. I am not going to cover the cast, or plot lines, as this review is for the video quality, which is quite good. recommended

The Last Hard Men I had not seen before but it was a good solid movie (it had a plot).Sky Riders was enjoyably well done.

great films

Sky Riders frightening from the beginning. A family taken, Susannah York and her two children, taken as hostages demanding a ransom. Robert Culp the stepfather doing all he can along with the police and the inspector Charles Aznavour. The great James Coburn gets involved to help, her first husband. The extreme group they are abducted by are ruthless. Gliding over the mountains and hills with the help with some citizens, help is at hand. The Last Hard Men is James Coburn along with other prisoners escaping from jail or doing railway repair work; wanting revenge on the former lawman sent him to jail being, Charlton Heston. His daughter's life is at stake can it be prevented. Two good double features.

Dvd arrived in great condition.Can't wait to watch the movies.James Coburn one of my favorite actors.

I bought this for the Last Hard Men and I was not disappointed!
