Given that there was a thread about Orion Pictures, why not talk about Carolco Pictures as well? Quote Disable Sigs *Insert funny signature here*

Whenever I think of Carolco, I think of Terminator 2.

Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

But I liked Cutthroat Island. Well I liked the concept of it. The ship battles were pretty cool. Although I never did like the serrated pirate sword. I really just wanted a modern pirate movie as I was into pirates. My Carolco favorites were:
First Blood - no surprise as it was already mentioned in the Orion thread (distributed by them) Total Recall Air America Terminator 2 Star Gate Last of the Dogmen and of course Cutthroat Island |
