BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: United States Marshal Howard Nightingale is a law and order and publicity man. He doesn’t simply capture outlaws. He makes sure a photographer is around to record the arrests and spread his fame. Now Nightingale, who aspires to the Senate, is out to nab his #1 prey: cool-witted robber Jack Strawhorn. “If I don’t get him, I don’t get elected,” he says. The mighty Kirk Douglas (who also produced and directed) stars as Nightingale and the wicked Bruce Dern is Strawhorn in Posse, an exciting roundup of action, humor and sly political skepticism. Bo Hopkins, James Stacy, Luke Askew and Alfonso Arau also star in this crafty western that asks: Just who is the real bad guy?

Product Description: Mario Van Peebles (Heartbreak Ridge) directs and stars in this gun-blazing revisionist twist on the classic western. Posse assembles a first-rate cast that includes Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects), Blair Underwood (Deep Impact), Billy Zane (Titanic), Tone Loc, Pam Grier, Nipsey Russell, Aaron Neville, Big Daddy Kane and the illustrious Woody Strode to tell a tale of honor, betrayal, social injustice, and racial conflict. Set against the backdrop of the Spanish-American War of 1898, Posse is a “fast-paced, star-studded, big brawny western” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times). Van Peebles has crafted “killer entertainment” (Los Angeles Times) that upends the traditional oater, while at the same time paying homage to the classics of John Ford, John Sturges and Sam Peckinpah.
