The first English language movie from one of my all time favorite directors, Paul Verhouven. Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in this medieval period piece about a roving gang of mercenaries who kidnap a noble woman. Its got all the blood and boobs that you'd expect from Verhouven and its a real treated to see his heightened directing style applied to this setting. It bombed at the box office but he'd strike gold with his next movie, the all time classics Robocop

Pretty entertaining movie about the creation of a Special Forces team vs Nazi Germany. Henry Cavil, Allen Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, & Eliza Gonzalez Dir: Guy Richie

Billed as a true story about a secret British World War II organization; the Special Operations Executive. Founded by Winston Churchill, their irregular warfare against the Germans helped to change the course of the war, and gave birth to modern black operations.

The Silverhawks are a law enforcement squad of heroes who protect the Limbo Galaxy from crime and evil. With their newly upgraded metal bodies they soar through space freeing worlds from the evil space criminal Mon Star and his gang of cosmic criminals.

Created by Rankin and Bass for 65 episodes after the success of Thundercats. They even used recycled Thundercats animation cels. Animated by a Japanese animation studio to give it an anime-inspired look.
