will get both...wouldn't have minded a value double feature for these two...or a triple feature with Good Guys Wear Black

To be honest I prefer Chuck's 80s movies.

AFOO and TO are OK viewing, but not ones I'd buy.
Wasn't keen on GGWB when I last saw it.

The Hitman is one of his best films.

Firewalker I'm struggling to remember... I saw it once on TV many years ago.

Haven't seen Hellbound either or Forest Warrior for that matter (don't think I'm missing much with the latter).

And you forgot the genius that is Top Dog.

The Octagon: Uncut and downgraded to a '15'.

Hey, sorry, I meant the UK titles (A Force of One and The Octagon).

Yes, the MGM ones seem to all contain original mono tracks (stereo in the case of The Delta Force).

"Viewers have two options here: a 2.0 track in LPCM or a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio remix. In truth the 5.1 track doesn't sound too different from the stereo effort, with what little surround activity there is coming through at such a low level you almost have to press you ear against the speaker to make it out."

Possible downmix? I really wish reviewers would confirm the basics and spare us the waffle.
