It’s been a long time since theaters showed an actual double feature, but this classic set from Shout Factory is a perfect example of what you might have seen back when you got two movies for the price of one. The Nickel Ride stars Jason Miller (The Exorcist) as Cooper, a small-time mobster facing some heavy competition from an up-and-coming young hood. Cooper has a plan to pull off one big score to regain his control over his territory, but he’s racing against the clock to make it happen. The second film stars Richard Harris as Harry Crown, an independent hit man hired by one mobster to kill his rival to stop a bloody turf war from getting out of hand. Both movies stand on their own as solid B-action movies, but there’s something about watching them back to back that makes for a great night at the movies.
