Thread Starter 
The Stone Killer 1973 is now available at Warner Archive. Could someone please post an answer to these questions:

1. Is The Stone Killer in anamorphic widescreen in its original aspect ratio? - Isn't the original aspect ratio 1.85:1?
2. How is the video and audio quality of The Stone Killer?

Thanks and God Bless!

Robert

1) Yes, AWS 1.85:1 as intended.
2) Just fine.

I thought I'd seen every Bronson flick ever made - I don't think I've seen this one. I certainly don't recognize the title. What is the general consensus about the movie?

It's a good B-crime film with a long car chase, Mafia-style executions, and an office fire in a wastepaper basket. Pure 1970s. Blow-dried hair and everybody drives big long cars. Hardboiled and cynical and entertaining. Wide angles, swish-pans, zooms, and rack focusing. If you like Michael Winner's other films you'll like this one. I've been wanting to see it again for a long time but I ain't paying $20 for a DVD-R.

Bronson did Chato's Land for Winner the year before and Death Wish for him the year after, as I recall.

It's kind of all over the place plotwise but worth watching if you're a Bronson fan: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070736/#comment

One of my favourite Charles Bronson films from the 70's, The Stone Killer (1973). The long car chase is worth seeing alone. Jack Colvin, who a few years later would star in the TV series The Incredible Hulk, co-stars in this film.

I don´t understand why Warner is offering this title????

It´s a Columbia film and not a Warner Bros. film!

I´ve got the Code 2 DVD from Sweden and it´s excellent. You can also get the DVD from France.

The DVD is from Sony's "Columbia Classics."

Warner Archive sells all of the Sony "CC" titles, a distribution partnership betwen WA and CC for their MOD products.
