Sweeney!/Sweeney 2 (DVD)
These two films are based on the popular 1970s British cop show THE SWEENEY that follows the exploits of maverick detectives Jack Regan and George Carter, members of Scotland Yard`s plain clothed Flying Squad. SWEENEY! finds D.I. Regan and D.S. Carter curbing their steady diet of alcohol and loose women long enough to take on a case that begins with the death of cabinet minister`s mistress and ends up leading them into a conspiracy that seemingly goes beyond the law.
In SWEENEY 2, Britain`s toughest cops are given one last order by the recently disgraced Chief of the Flying Squad: find and take out a band of armed robbers who are terrorizing London. Soon, Regan and Carter learn that these are no ordinary crooks and their investigation leads them deep into the criminal underworld where the detectives must sort their way through beautiful women, crooked cops, and the government of Malta before a final showdown with the heavily armed crooks.NR"

The 4th Tenor (DVD)
Rodney Dangerfield has successfully skewered song stylists on numerous occasions. His Rappin` Rodney was one of the biggest novelty songs of the 1980s and his version of Twist & Shout in the film BACK TO SCHOOL is remembered by legions of fans. Dangerfield is out to get respect for his vocal cords once again in this slapstick romp. The comedian plays a nightclub owner who is smitten with a singer who entertains the patrons. Unable to reach her heart, he tries the international language of song. After infuriating an entire neighborhood with his horrible singing, the restaurateur drinks a magical wine that gives him a tenor that would make Mario Lanza bow down in awe. Blessed with this magical throat, the hero just may be able to win over this elusive beauty."
Director: Harry Basil
ACTORS: Rodney Dangerfield, Annabelle Gurwitch, Robert Davi, Richard Libertini, Charles Fleischer
