It doesn't mention any bonus features, so I think Sony just re-packaged the previous MGM releases of these flicks. The only way I'll double dip is if Delta Force and Missing in Action is in Widescreen since the previous versions were Pan and Scan.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

If anyone deserves the moniker of "American Hero", it is surely Chuck Norris.

If this doesn't have "Sidekicks", there will be hell to pay.

It's Chuck Norris quality. Just remember, Chuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".

Nice, but I was really just wondering if these are pan and scan or OAR and fi they are anamorphic.

If it were up to Chuck Norris they'd be pan and scan. None of this widescreen pussy bullshit.

When I think of Chuck Norris I think what he'd be doing right now for Cannon Films and I'd like to add more humor with my poster of the perfect film for some Americans.

Chuck Norris' dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone.

Was this thread revived simply for those stupid ass Chuck Norris jokes?

Anyways, I'm a Chuck Norris fan, but this set looked like crap. Delta Force was the same shitty full screen edition that was released previously. None of these movies had any extras and none had 5.1 Dolby Digital. Sony just tried to cash in on some fancy re-packaging.

It wouldn't fool Chuck because Chuck Norris can judge a book by it's cover!

That's true but it sure is fun to make fun of Chuck. Way of the Dragon is the only movie he is in worth owning.

Finally, I got an answer to my question. I was afraid it was just afancy package with the same horrible foolscreen transfers.
