Gordon's War / Off Limits (Action-Packed Double Feature)

I bought this double feature in order to get Off Limits but enjoyed Gordon's War as well. Gordon's War is a rather simple early 70's movie where Capt. Gordon comes home from Viet Nam as a Green Beret when his wife dies of a heroine overdose. Seeing the way Harlem has deteriorated from drugs invading every part of life he gathers his old former soldiers together to take their area back from the drug dealers. It's no academy award winner but a dated good versus evil movie that makes you root for the good guys. Off Limits is one of my favorite Viet Nam war offshoot movies. Like Good Morning Viet Nam this movies takes place in Viet Nam during the war and soldiers are the main characters but it is not a soldiers in combat movie. In Off Limits Willem Defoe and Gregory Hines play military police in the CID who become involved in an investigation of Vietnamese prostitutes being murdered , and the murderer is believed to be one of five Colonels in their area of operation, making it very difficult and dangerous to proceed with the investigation. This is all interwoven with a adversarial working relationship with the South Vietnamese military police, and that the one living witness is now living and working with the Viet Cong. If you like Willem Defoe, Gregory Hines or Viet Nam war movies you'll like this one.

Been looking for Off Limits for a long time. Really good movie. Keeps you guessing.

Great learn a lesson type movie, that probably did happen similarly in real life all over this country while Vietnam was going on. That and I love all Paul Winfield's movies (except Sounder).

Over the years I have had about 2 or 3 (including tv) copies of Gordon's War. None were in the absolute picture quality I had sought to keep as the pride of my DVD movie library. Finally, this official release has given this movie, Gordon's War the respected picture quality it's original theatrical release had shown us. Gilbert Lewis (remember him as vice lord, Richard Ward's lieutenant and assassin in "Across 110th Street") as the ruthless gang lord drug dealer plays the part with such believable realism. Off Limits was not my particular choice in making this purchase, but nevertheless, found it to be quite a thriller as an added bonus feature. My thanks to this studio for giving us Gordon's War in great enjoyable picture quality. Five Stars all the way!

I purchased this dvd for Off Limits;; not for Gordons war. Off Limits is beyond words as it is ACTION, ACTION, ACTION, from start to finish. This is the best of all the Vietnam movies; better than Platoon, the Deer Hunter, Apacalypse Now, Rambo, Missing In Action, and especially Full Metal Jacket. The cast is fantastic, the movie plot is fantastic, the action never stops and the music is OUTASIGHT!!!! Off limits shows us what FUBAR and SNAFU means. Off limits is not the usual war movie but takes us through a Criminal Investigation Detachment (CID) mystery. For those of us who were a part of that conflict, Off Limits tells it like it was

Gregory Hines/Willam Dafoe.Vietnam. Good thriller movie.

Plenty of action at its best, Set in Vietnam in the war era and there was plenty of talent, Young girl murdered and by whom, Well I know and I'm not telling as to spoil a great movie. It's a bit of this and that with suspense and mind curiosity, as to who done it. Wonderful story line and in depth motions, worth seeing and with the crunchies by your side.I rated this movie an A grade for being different.

Unlike most people I bought this for Gordon’s war a great movie. Other movie was just ok.

Wanted Off limits but was cheaper to buy the duo pack

We liked them.

Good action and story line!
