Rockin' With A Bullet (1984)
Starring:
Storyline
This film could easily be considered a blaxploitation film. It's equipped with just about everything that represented the era. It even has an original soundtrack score where there are a couple of nuggets from the sounds of 1980s RnB.
Crime lords with fancy cars, pretty women and huge bankrolls mix it up around the world. Champagne, cocaine and willing women are the rewards for fast living, but the underworld comes with risks all its own. This film is the initial offering in the series of Sugarhill films (Deadfall, Dealin' Dirty, and Retribution).

The Fantastic World of D.C. Collins (1984, TV Movie)
Starring:
- Gary Coleman
- Bernie Casey
- Shelley Smith
- Marilyn McCoo
- Philip Abbott
In his fifth TV-movie, Gary Collins is a UN diplomat's son who continually daydreams about various movie heroes, ranging from Dwight Cloudclimber (sort of a miniaturized Luke "Star Wars" Skywalker) and Alabama Smith (who is not unlike Indiana "Raiders of the Lost Ark" Jones) to a James Bond-type and General Patton, all of whom help this junior Walter Mitty keep a step or two ahead of secret agents trying to retrieve a packet of documents he inadvertently came to possess.
