Summary: Title remains unchanged
Review: I was heartfully moved by this particular movie. In my opinion Stephen Lang uniquely helped bring these gangs together as one collective group of young teenagers. He taught them survival through circumstances that proved a gem. Although Stephen Lang had demonstrated a certain harsh reality it was without a doubt filled with a warm compassion blended with truth which helped create a newfound group of kids at the end of the day. No longer were they against one another but as one, a team of kids that came to discover something profound about not only themselves. Survival, whether he or she was black, brown or white. Color no longer important, a friendship had been born.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: touching and heartwarming
Review: I watched this movie about 10 years ago or so. I loved it and have looked for it ever since. But haven't been able to find it. I though it was very good. I'm also looking for a movie called "crystal heart" starring Tawny Kitean, so keep your eyes open out there for me please. :)

Summary: Band of the Hand
Review: Let me start by saying I love this movie. I first saw this film in the theatres during it's original theatrical release. I have this film on vhs. I have been waiting for the past few years for this film to be released on DVD. Finally it has arrived. I wish they had preserved the original theatrical aspect (widescreen), but at least they remastered the audio and video. The film itself stands as one of the best and most entertaining action films of the 1980's. This largely overlooked classic embodies the look, the feel and the attitude of 80's cool and features the most memorable soundtrack of this era. The story centers around a group of juvenile delinquents who have committed serious crimes and are given one last chance at rehabilitation.
This last ditch effort begins in the Florida Everglades and culminates in the "program" relocating to Miami. Once in Miami the ever reforming juveniles have to learn to work together, resist the temptation of their former lives and also confront the harsh realities of their past. Each character undergoes personal growth and ultimately they decide on their own to wage war on the local ... cartel and the action really heats up. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes action movies with humor and substance. Band of the Hand has excitement and flair to spare, considerably more than the standard fare.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action, humor, nostalgia
Review: My sister and I recorded this movie when it came on TV years ago and watched it over and over and over. There are some great one-liners (e.g. the shopkeeper's rant about armadillos) and the characters are likeable. Boy, does this movie ever take me back to my teen years!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally, on DVD.
Review: One of the many movies I thought worthwhile, but unavailable on DVD.

Until now...

Glad to see "Band of the Hand" is finally out. Far from a perfect film, it captures a bit of those heady 1980s in a time capsule.

I saw this film when it originally came out - one of the few who did - and I've always refered it to friends as Miami Vice's "What I Did on Summer Vacation" movie.

Now, if we can only get the Miami Vice series out on DVD...

Summary: Pure 80's goodness!
Review: So long.....I have waited so long for this movie to be released on DVD. Last year, I was forced to buy a well used and badly warn VHS copy on Ebay. Forced, you say? Yes, Forced. This movie is goodness. That's all there is to it. I saw it on cable when I was a kid and it quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time.
Please, do yourself a favor and buy this movie. As some people have said above, they really do not make them like this anymore. It's got that special something that modern movies lack...and I'm not just saying that because I'm older now, and that's what older people are supposed to say about things from their chldhood. It's a fact. My praises cannot do this movie justice. You have to watch it to understand. Band of the Hand is hidden and forgotten treasure. Those who call it corny, or say the acting is "bad" simply do not get it. I get it, and I hope you do too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Want a copy! The story, the music. Fantastic!
Review: Sure would like a copy of this movie. Absolutely fantastic. I see something I missed everytime I see it. The music is great too! Unfortunately I only have a mono copy. I want a stereo copy.
