3.0 out of 5 starsDouble feature Blu ray review from Shout! Factory
By Mr. E. A. Williamson on 12 July 2015
Verified Purchase
Please note that the Blu ray under review here is region A locked meaning that you WILL require a multi region player to view the content on this disc.

American cult imprint Shout!Factory invite you "Lock and load your Blu ray player" with another of their double feature packs this time concerning a pair of classic action movies. But despite marketing this as a "double barreled blast of high octane action" this claim is far from the truth. What we actually get here is the rarely seen Roger Corman produced exploitation prison drama 'I Escaped From Devil's Island' and 'The Final Option' which is the alternative US title for the UK produced SAS thriller 'Who Dares Wins'. An odd combination to be sure but who says double features have to have anything in common?
From 1973 we have 'I Escaped From Devils Island', a low budget exploitation outing starring former American Footballer turned actor Jim Brown and Christopher George of such cult favourites as Day of the Animals and Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead. Le Bras (Jim Brown) and Davert (Christopher George)are fellow inmates at the notorious Devil's Island, the fabled French penal colony where the residents are forced into hard labour and have to endure daily beatings from the sadistic prison staff. With the help of a handful of convict cohorts, Le Bras and Davert mastermind an escape plan by the way of a raft hoping to make the mainland from the sea through the dense jungle and ultimately to civilization. So far so Papillon you may think right down to the friendly local leper colony who shelter our anti-heros from the prison guards and their trackers. But this is exactly what the makers of the Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman movie believed, so much so they tried unsuccessfully to sue for copyright infringement.Read more ›

HASH(0x82451450) out of 5 stars Hard to find anti-terrorism classic finally available 2 Nov. 2014
By D. Case - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
you finally can get 'The Final Option' not only on DVD but Blu Ray to boot. Classic anti-terrorism Cold War polemic with a lot of input from SAS operatives who served as advisors. Lot's of James Bond DNA in the production as well; right down to veteran stunt arranger Bob Simmons, and Roger Moore's double Martin Grace getting an actual role as a US Marine embassy guard.

Lewis Collins was on the short list to replace Moore if he didn't do 'Octopussy', and this was generally considered a dry run for him.

The rescue Op at the film's climax still serves as a training film for SpecOps people in both the UK and US. Good soundtrack from Roy Budd doesn't hurt, and this is a must have for fans of the genre. The film's take on left wing politics has made it unpopular with the major media and it rarely gets airplay, although MGM has shown it recently.

While having it's share of flaws- the US Ranger in the film was basically all wrong; bad hair, wrong uniform and such- ultimately it is a forgotten classic of a bygone era. One that might not have gone away, though.

Terrorism still exists, and the men who fight them are FAR more like these characters than you might think.

The Jim Brown flick is a forgettable B film hardly worth the effort to watch. But 'The Final Option'- known in the UK as 'Who Dares Wins'- the SAS motto- is a must have...
HASH(0x826f130c) out of 5 stars THERES NO OPTION LIKE THE FINAL OPTION 1 May 2015
By Gary Gilfoy - Published on Amazon.com

I saw this movie when it was at the theater and enjoyed it very much. It definitely is a very hard to find movie and I was glad to see it on a Blu-ray double bill. I give this one five stars

The Jim Brown movie was enjoyable to a point. Unfortunately the ending left you hanging. While watching this one I began to wonder if Brown, probably the most successful athlete to turn movie star, was at the start of his box office slide. All of this being said I think that this double feature was worth the money and time
