Product Description: BLACK RAIN: Director Ridley Scott's international crime thriller stars Michael Douglas as Mike Conklin a New York detective under investigation for corruption. When yakuza hit man Sato kills two American mobsters in New York he's extradited to Osaka to face trial with Conklin and Charlie Vincent (Andy Garcia) as his escorts. Mistakenly turning over their prisoner to yakuza disguised as police Conklin and Vincent realize after running down some blind alleys that they have no chance of finding Sato in the unfamiliar city and enlist the services of Japanese desk cop Masahiro "Mas" Masumoto (Ken Takakura). As they continue the search for Sato the scrupulous methodical and civilized style of Japanese police work rubs the improvisational rule-breaking Americans the wrong way. But when Vincent is murdered Mas and Conklin realize that success will come only through a blending of investigative and cultural styles.FATAL ATTRACTION: While his wife (Anne Archer) and daughter are out of town successful attorney Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) has a one-night stand with Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) the publishing executive he has just met. He has no idea what he's getting into. Immediately after the encounter Dan wants to put the experience behind him but Alex refuses to let go of their relationship. Driven to madness by his rejection she turns to violently harassing both Dan and his family.

1 thing I have NEVER liked about it is the Andy Garcia death scene. Just to look at, not realistic. For film only. And, what started this story. IF Michael & Anthony were in this restaurant WHY DID THEY NOT STOP THE KILLINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPENED? They were police & had guns.
Still can't figure out little scene at the beginning of the film. WHY TAKE YOUR KID TO SCHOOL IN THE RAIN ON A MOTORCYCLE? Can't the kid get sick?
Good extras on this special edition DVD. BUT, WHY A PLAIN JANE SILVER DVD? This film was great to look at with both the Japan & New York playing key roles in the film.
Film has the Ridley style. 1 of my favorites of his.
FATAL ATTRACTION
I remember when the film came out. Film goers were talking about it.
Of course, the memorable lines & scenes.
To me it has lost a bit of it's edge over the passage of 21 years.
Well acted by the 3 principles.
1 THING I HAVE ALWAYS HATED ABOUT IT & STILL BOTHERS ME TODAY. What was the deal with the kid Ellen's hair? I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIRL BUT WITH THAT BOYS HAIR CUT? A boy named Ellen?
Some good extras on the DVD. Having the laser disc of the film I had already scene the "original ending" to the film.
At the height of Michael's successful film streak in the 1980's. With the purchase of this DVD I now have the 3 roles of Glenn's I like, besides this 1 "Air Force One" & "101 Dalmatians".
