Air America Ratings & Reviews
- Gianni CavuotoNovember 11, 2025LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. Mel Gibson being the crazyguy he is - Robert Downey being the goofball. they were both perfect for these roles. It has been a long time since I have watched this movie, I will not let it go that long agian.
- ርልዪረJanuary 31, 2025I love this movie last saw it on VHS back in the early 90's. This is the Spanish bluray release, it has selectable English audio, but there are forced Spanish subtitles (can't be turned off). They are not obtrusive and appear in the black band. You can switch your TV to another widescreen ratio and the subtitles are hidden, I left it at its correct ratio and after a while did not even notice them. Video and audio won't win any awards but way better than its DVD counterpart. Only an image gallery as an extra.
