Ultimate Gangster Collection - 6 DVD Box Set - American Gangster, Casino and Scarface with Bonus Cigar-Styled Box: This great DVD box set includes the following titles:
American Gangster 2 Disc Special Edition: American Gangster tells the true story of drug kingpin Frank Lucas (Washington) who in the 1970s became the biggest heroin dealer in Harlem, with a smuggling scheme that imported heroin out of Vietnam in the body bags of dead American GIs. Richie Roberts (Crowe) is the detective assigned to crack the mystery of who controls New York's drug trade. A dedicated officer, who rose above the rampant corruption rife in the force, he found himself at war as much with his fellow officers as with the gangs on the street.
Scarface 2 Disc Platinum Edition: Al Pacino stars in this epic DVD as the unforgettable Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film. Directed by the hit-maker, Brian De Palma, and produced by Martin Bergman, who brought both Godfather I and II to the screen, Scarface follows the violent career of a small-time Cuban refugee hoodlum who guns his way to the top of Miami's cocaine empire. With its intense screenplay by Academy Award winner Oliver Stone, driving musical score by Giorgio Moroder, and superb insights into Miami's Latin lifestyle, Scarface joins the ranks of Hollywood's greatest underworld dramas, as it lays bare the sordid power of the American drug scene.
Casino 2 Disc Special Edition: Danger, Power, Seduction. Welcome to Las Vegas 1973. Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in Director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-carat greed toppled an empire. In an era of over-the-top glitz, Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro)is riding high as front man for the Mob's multi-billion dollar Las Vegas operation. To protect their 'investment', the bosses send in Ace's boyhood pal, hot-headed enforcer Nick - until sexy wild-card Ginger McKenna (Stone) turns up the heat. This gripping, fact-based tale boasts extraordinary performances, a sizzling soundtrack and a dizzying look beneath the glamorous facade, beyond the closed doors and behind the eyes of the men and women whose fortunes - and lives - were made and lost with a roll of the dice.
