Default L.A. Heat

Anyone have LA Heat episodes? I have most of season 2 and a few season 1 episodes from TNT (I have the offical season 1 set but the quality is horrid, they are so overcompressed all I can see are the massive pixel problems, they look like 2nd generation VHS transfers put on DVD on EP speed..... and this is the offical set you can get at Best Buy and Amazon).....

Default Read This: How PM Entertainment kickboxed its way to indie success

http://www.avclub.com/article/read-h...-indie--230587

Quote:
Nature abhors a vacuum, and so when the burgeoning VHS market was crying out for a steady stream of newly produced action films in the 1990s, a company called PM Entertainment was there to provide all the explosions, car chases, kickboxing, and utter mayhem anyone could ever want or need. When most people think of ‘90s independent cinema, their thoughts generally turn to Sundance success stories and hip young auteurs making their film school dreams come true. But there was another, grittier side to the indie film business back then, and that side is now faithfully documented in an action-packed oral history of PM at Hopes And Fears, thanks to author Joe Yanick. Co-founded by a Syrian producer and ex-pizzeria-manager named Joe Merhi, PM Entertainment churned out an astonishing 87 films in only 11 years at an average cost of $350,000 per title. That’s a fraction of what studios were spending on their action films at the time and even less than what Cannon Films was ponying up for its action offerings. PM even branched out into television with its two-season wonder, L.A. Heat. Though the company’s biggest in-house star was probably martial artist Don “The Dragon” Wilson, actors like Roy Scheider, Michael Madsen, and Billy Dee Williams all put in some time on PM productions.
