WARNER's EXTREME ACTION offers four examples of early to mid 1990s action films, including two by a couple of the genre's biggest stars: Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.



SYNOPSES--



ERASER-- Witness Protection specialist with unorthodox ways is set up as the "bad guy" by corrupt co-workers. Arnold benefits from an excellent supporting cast.



THE LAST BOY SCOUT-- Ex-Secret Servicman turned detective buddies up with a former football QB whose girlfriend is murdered; a woman the private eye was hired to protect. Authored by "Lethal Weapon" scripter Shane Black, the film's last scene suggests a sequel-- perhaps the lack of on-screen chemistry between Willis and Wayans precluded that from happening.



PASSENGER 57-- Terrorist and his cohorts hijack a plane carrying an undercover security expert. (Originally intended as a Stallone vehicle.)



POINT OF NO RETURN-- A female drug addict condemed to die for a violent crime is recruited as a government assassin.
