You haven’t heard of Drop Zone?! Or the Phantom?! People can blast me if they want, but I love both of those film.
Give me Passenger 57 and I’ll be held over until Blade(any of em) come out.
Drop Zone, never thought that would be on BD, I will definitely be getting that when it comes out.

The first three titles were released on DVD and Laserdisc by Paramount. I didn’t know they are now owned by Lionsgate. But I will still get ALL of these anyway.
