Roger Corman's Cult Classics Triple Feature: Lethal Ladies Collection

Really enjoyed all the movies on this collection especially too hot to handle great commentary by the actress on that film great transfer of all the movies

T.N.T. Jackson (1974 Firecracker (1981 Too Hot To Handle (1977) Wonderful Roger Corman films from the last Century.They call me TNT, martial arts expert Diana Jackson (Jeanne Bell) announces upon her arrival in Hong Kong to look for her missing brother, heading into the city's worst area, a no-man's-land that is a haven for drug dealers, thieves and killers. TNT does not know that her brother has been brutally murdered by Charlie (Stan Shaw), an American who is bent on inching his way to the top of the city's drug-smuggling trade. But he has no idea what he's up against when he tangles with dynamite in TNT Jackson!Female karate champion Susanne Carter (Jillian Kesner) goes to the Philippines to look for her sister who has disappeared. She stumbles upon a drug cartel and a tournament of no-holds-barred fights to the death in the action-packed Firecracker. Directed by genre specialist Cirio H. Santiago (TNT Jackson) and costarring Vic Diaz (The Big Bird Cage) and Darby Hilton (Malibu Express).Contract killer Samantha Fox (Cheri Caffaro) accepts a mission to kill a group of gangsters in the Philippines, but problems arise when she falls for the Manila detective investigating the murders. Director Don Schain, who was married to Caffaro, directed her in several films prior to Too Hot To Handle, including Ginger, Girls Are For Loving and The Abductors.The image quality is very acceptable. Each film is quite clean, no damage, detail is more than acceptable for the SD format. These are progressive and anamorphically transferred in the 1.78 aspect ratio. The bottom line - these 'new transfers' are completely watchable without any major flaws.The supplements are small - nothing but trailers on the first disc for T.N.T. Jackson and Firecracker . On disc two Shout! Factory includes an audio commentary with actress Cheri Caffaro on Too Hot To Handle. It is 'hosted by Elijah Drenner - director of American Grindhouse (2010) - they talk about Manila, other films in her career (the Don Schain-directed 'Ginger' movies) and more with some anecdotes about Too Hot Too Handle and low budget films as well as sexuality in the business. It's an open discussion and fairly interesting. There is also a trailer and stills gallery.All in all ,a nice trio of Action films Recommended.

Three classics (directed by the great Cirio H. Santiago) and the price is right. The highlight, of course, is Firecracker - sexy (and funny) stuff. (See pictures.) Ebert and Siskel begrudgingly highlighted it's charms on their "Dog of the Week" segment back in the day.Lady Dynamite stars rough trade chick icon, Cheri Carferro in her only (I think) performance in the "Ginger" trilogy. If you're reading this, check those out!

Roger's movies, while listed as "B" level, you will find that they still have a good plot and its interesting to note that while most of the actors are not know to most, they still all pulled it off and made it entertaining. My favorite was "Too Hot to Handle" staring Cheri Caffaro. She does it right. all three movies show that women are not afraid to Kick **** and show you how it's done.

If you are a guy and don't love the scene where the voluptuous Jillian Kesner (RIP) gets her dress ripped off, then her bra cut off, and then kicks some butt....well, turn in your man card. Her love scene with Darby Hinton (Malibu Express!!!!) is a classic, too.Buy it for the classic Firecracker if nothing else.

The striptease / fight sequence was included in this DVD, don't know if it's in the VHS copy and yes it adds to the reason to buy this DVD.

I like everything

Pretty decent collection of '70s exploitation films.

Terrible movies.

Good action films bought as a present for action film addict anyone who likes an action packed few hours will love these .Each film has a decent story line and are watchable even for those who are not usually enthralled by these movies .Worth a watch.

FIRECRACKER - pretty awesome. TNT JACKSON - had its moments. TOO HOT TO HANDLE - the weakest of the bunch BUT also has its merits. Good picture quality, with THTH being the worst. Commentary track on THTH was interesting, if you are into that sort of thing.

Excellent//loved//all/three/movies

Very good.
