Summer City
I really enjoyed Summer City. The main reason for buying it is that I'm a die hard Mel Gibson fan. His movies always have a lot of action. I would recommend it to any Mel Gibson fan and anyone that likes movies with a lot of action.

Liked it because it was Mel. But story was slow. Not much action. However, I got it in time. Price was great

Dull city
The main selling point of this DVD is that it stars Mel Gibson. This has to be one of Gibson's very first films - even before the ROAD WARRIOR movies. The shot of Gibson that is on the cover is dated much later than the young, skinny actor who appears in this movie. Also, Gibson only has a supporting role in the film. To surmise that he's the leading actor would be incorrect.Not a whole lot happens with the plot, so they seemingly stretch just about every scene out to make it "feature length." They also throw in a lot of scenes apparently at random without any thought to story cohesion.Of course, the film is also about as low budget as low-budget movies get. I swear at times I thought I was watching a film made by a bunch of high schoolers. The picture quality is pretty rough - even by 1970s standards.The only people who just might like to pick up this DVD are die-hard Gibson fans. There are those who might enjoy seeing him in a movie filmed in his native Australia where he still has his thick native accent. So, with that in mind, there are perhaps some who might find some nostalgia in buying this one.If Gibson had not starred in this movie, I very much doubt it would have ever made it to DVD in the 1st place. This is an obscure movie, and clearly there is a REASON it's obscure: it's dull, bland & boring!

Fun little movie if you like old Mel Gibson
The movie is a bit slow but is really for the major Mel Gibson fans. If you don't like older movies, you won't like this, BUT if you do like older movies, this was the first film Mel Gibson was EVER IN!!!! He was not great, but it was the beginning of something beautiful!
