Stone Cold is a 1991 B/C-movie action-thriller that attempted to make NFL superstar Brian Bosworth into an action hero with spectacular failure, but still a fun cheesy movie nevertheless.

PLOT SYNOPSIS |
|
John Stone (BRIAN BOSWORTH is the only cop tough enough to take out a gang of stone-cold killers. Going undercover, he has to pose as an outlaw biker to win the trust of their diabolic leader Chains and his right-hand psychopath Ice (LANCE HENRIKSEN. Stone soon discovers there’s more to these bikers than heavy metal mayhem. They’re plotting a paramilitary assault on the State Capitol, where one of their men has been sentenced to execution. In a spectacular climax, Stone is up against the gang and on his own. And the killers soon discover that if you go up against John Stone, he’ll burn you cold…Stone Cold. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2/5 |
|
This release does come with a matted slip cover and the artwork is reversible. Features include an Audio Commentary with Film Historians Mike Leeder and Arne Venema; a slew of new Interviews including Actors Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen, Arabella Holzbog and Sam McMurray; as well as Theatrical Trailers and TV Spots. |
VIDEO – 4¼/5 |
| Kino Lorber releases Stone Cold onto Blu-ray where it’s presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a new 1080p high-definition transfer, taken from a 2K scan of the 35mm Interpositive. While nothing extraordinary, I would have to assume this 1990s C-movie never looked better with solid detail throughout and colors that are nicely balanced, being bright but not oversaturated. There were some minor specs however nothing distracting. |
AUDIO – 3¾/5 |
| The included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track which is more than adequate with some so-so depth for the action scenes while dialogue levels come across the dual channels with good clarity. |
