Bikers Captain America (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper, who
also directs) set off across America on the proceeds of a cocaine
deal. En route to the New Orleans Mardi Gras festival they stop off
at a hippy commune, before being arrested in Texas for joining a
street parade without a licence. In jail they meet boozy civil
rights lawyer George Hanson (Jack Nicholson), who decides to join
them on their odyssey. Made on a shoestring budget, 'Easy Rider'
was a huge hit upon its release, and this success proved
instrumental in persuading the big Hollywood studios to invest in
more films from young directors.

Box set featuring nine action movies. In 'Skinheads' (1989) a group
of Los Angeles neo-nazis are forced to move to North California
when one of them shoots a black man. When they arrive in the small
town they continue on their path of hatred, harrassment and
destruction until they come across two resilient college kids
determined to stop the skinheads' reign of violence. When a
Hollywood film crew travel to shoot on an isolated desert location
they are attacked by CIA-backed mercenaries. At first the film
people fight back using their special effects equipment, but as the
carnage mounts they sustain heavy losses, and soon the director's
daughter is the only one still alive. She then teams up with one of
the embittered mercenaries to better her chances of surviving.
'Hiroshima' (1990) paints a dramatic account of the race to develop
the atomic bomb, the ethics and politics behind it, and the events
which led to its use at the end of World War 2. In 'Emperor'
(1988), Tony (Alex D'Andrea) is a Bronx street hustler, an
old-fashioned, low-level operator who finds himself forced off his
turf by vicious crime boss Falco (Anthony Gioia). Teaming up with
an ex-con and sultry songstress, he learns a few things about the
way of the world and makes an attempt to get back on the right side
of the wrong side of the tracks - taking the fight back to Falco.
In 'South Bronx' (1985), two young children are being brutally
exploited as their foster home moonlights as the headquarters for
one of the city's largest pornography rings. Amazingly, the two
children escape to the streets, where they enlist the help of an
undercover cop (Mario Van Peebles) and his partner to capture the
porn king and his accomplices. In 'The Swap' (1969) Robert DeNiro
plays Sammy Nicoletti, an adult film director who is murdered. His
brother Vito (Anthony Charnota) vows to find the killer and avenge
Sammy's death. When Vito is released from prison he begins his own
investigation, encountering deceit and blackmail. The final days of
Sammy's life unfold from a party on Long Island back to the big
city. As Vito draws nearer to the truth, his own life hangs
precariously in the balance. In 'Death Collector' (1975) it's 'all
in the family' for a young, streetwise hood as he becomes a
collector for the mob. He quickly rises, run by rung, up the ladder
of the underworld in this violent crime saga. Blaxploitation legend
Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson stars in 'Black Cobra' (1987). When
fashion photographer Elys Trumbo (Eva Grimaldi) sees one of her
neighbours being murdered by a member of the Black Cobras, a
psychopathic motorcycle gang, she manages to catch the killer's
face on film. The Cobras' leader comes after her, but luckily tough
police sergeant Malone (Williamson) has been appointed to protect
her. In 'Born To Win' (1971), George Segal stars as as an
ex-hairdresser who struggles to support his expensive drug habit
and to avoid arrest, turns 'narc', informing on his fellow junkies.
Eventually Segal's sense of self-hatred threatens to overwhelm him.
In 'Revenge' (1988), the gun-crazy right-wing terrorist group
'Strike Force' have set their sights on the deadly NK-2, which is a
very large weapon indeed, and will do everything in their power to
get hold of it. Vietnam vet Jason Shepherd (Roger Rodd) is
approached with the job of tracking down these vicious killers and
preventing them from doing any more damage. He accepts the job, but
when the group gun down two of his most loyal friends, it suddenly
becomes personal.
