Disaster: Land & Sea



wow! great old tv and rare movies!
this is a great set! great tv movie the president's plane is missing with Buddy Ebsen and many great tv actors.
the Poseidon adventure with Rutger Hauer! never heard of it! I haven't watched all but these two are worth
the price. They don't make great movies with great actors like this anymore.
update: 2 of the movies are tv classics! one is a sci-fy! movie which is pretty
much what you get from sci-fy movies nowdays and a pretty bad tbs movie with luke
perry called the TRiangle! I tried watching when it first aired didn't finish. I
tried watching again didn't finish! but the other four are still worth the price!

At 66 cents a picture, it's really a bargain.
With three quite solid made for television films, and three decent ones, this is a great bargain. The President's Plane is Missing, The Poseidon Adventure and Death Flight are performed by established television (and some film) stars and actors, with the latter two presenting versions of Very Big Hollywood successes. The remaining three are less ambitious and pretty much of the B picture, routine but watchable type. The first type can easily be the center of an evenings viewing, while the second will easily fit the slot of a second feature when you want something to watch while gradually readying for a night's sleep. I do not have the enthusiasts television set but on a relatively new one of moderate size all the films looked good.

Set includes "SST: Disaster in the Sky"
Took a chance on this DVD hoping "Death Flight" included in the release was the 1977 ABC-TV movie. Good News, it does have this great "bad" TV-movie starring Robert Reed, Doug McClure, Tina Louise, Bert Convy, Peter Graves, Burgess Meredith, Brock Peteres, George Maharis, Martin Milner, Susan Strasberg, and more. The cut of the film is not the one shown on American network television,brief nudity is included in one scene. Transfer is 4x3 and looks pretty good. Great to have a legit DVD of this movie!
