Description:
Hate and revenge go together like hand in glove.
In THE GLOVE, a down-on-his luck bounty hunter (John Saxon of BLACK CHRISTMAS) buys a one way ticket to Hell when he tries to capture a vengeful ex-con (Rosey Grier) out to punish an order of corrupt prison guards with the torture device they used on him: a riot glove made of 5 lbs. of lead and steel.
Co-starring Joanna Cassidy (BLADE RUNNER) and a cast of veteran Hollywood actors, including Keenan Wynn (PIRANHA), Joan Blondell (NIGHTMARE ALLEY) and Aldo Ray).
In SEARCH AND DESTROY, ex-GIs Perry King (CLASS OF 1984) and Don Stroud (PERDITA DURANGO) fight for their lives as members of their elite combat unit are picked off one by one by the embittered soldier they left behind enemy lines.
George Kennedy (AIRPORT) and Tisa Farrow (ZOMBIE) are also featured in this edgy action thriller from director William Fruet (DEATH WEEKEND).

Rating:  - Been waiting for this item
Although corny and dated, Search and Destroy is one of my all time favorite class B movies. Perry King and Don Stroud had a stellar performance.
Give it a shot!
Rating:  - nice
Nice to see S&D finally givn the dvd release. I guess my review would be a bit biased as the part of the Stranded POW helt bent on revenge was played by my childhood Tae Kwon Do instructor Park Jong Soo. I remember a big poster for this movie hanging at the Dojo. Anyhow, worth the price for that movie itself. cheers
Rating: - Great action double from the 70s/80s
What a treat to have both of these films released by Dark Sky, one of the best companies in recent years to deliver rare films that are also remastered to perfection as well as in wide screen where possible.
I've always enjoyed The Glove (1978) it has a memorable opening number and John Saxon is as always excellent in the role of a world weary bounty hunter. Rooevelt Grier also excels and the supporting cast enhances the film.
Search And Destroy likewise makes for an entertaining action ... Read More
