3/5 Video Set
  by Gary H. Nelson (San Diego, CA)
As often is the case, the sequels do not measure up to the original. This is especially true of Sniper 3. But you gotta love Berenger's portrayal of the main character. If you like Sniper, you will probably want Sniper 2 & 3.

2/5 Sniper II: a glaring technical error about rifles.
  by Jay Vesce
I felt sorry for Tom Beringer as I watched Sniper II. At one point his character, Beckett, starts praising the military rifle he's just been handed as a substitute for his customary precision rifle that he's just lost. Beckett explains the various virtues of the Model 98 Mauser. He states that things could be a lot worse than to be handed a German Mauser, examining the rifle in his hands.

But wait...the rifle in his hands is not a Mauser. Beckett, our skilled old-school sniper and presumed military rifle expert, is holding a Mosin Nagant. It's probably Russian, most likely a Model 91/30. You can tell the difference from 10 or 20 feet away: the 98 Mauser has an internal magazine that's hidden inside the stock, and the Mosin Nagant has an external magazine that sticks out almost 2 inches from the stock and is about 5 inches long, right in front of the trigger guard. For an old-school sniper, steeped in the knowledge of bolt action rifles, to misidentify that rifle would be unthinkable.

The Mauser is an 8 mm, the Mosin Nagant uses 7.62 X 54R, and the 8mm ammo wouldn't even come close to chambering in the Mosin Nagant. As I watched the movie from that point on, I could almost imagine that Beringer, who strikes me as thoughtful and complex, knew the script he had to work from was bogus. It almost seemed like he went through the motions as a wry statement about just how miserable his life as an actor could be, as though he was telling us "Just look at the garbage I have to put up with."

Maybe the worst part of this technical error is that the Mosin Nagant is about twice as accurate as the Mauser, if you compare off-the-rack service rifles in good condition, firing standard issue ball ammo, like the rifle Beckett had in his hands. Therefore, a sniper like Beckett would have not only known about that difference, but he'd also be happy and smiling, commenting on the fabled accuracy of the Mosin Nagant, praising the brilliant spring and follower mechanism in the Mosin Nagant's magazine, and complaining about the awkward bolt handle, protruding sideways, that everybody complains about. Only Mosin Nagant sniper rifles have a turned-down bolt, and that isn't what Beckett had in his hands. There are scenes where he's hunched down behind this rifle, and it's obviously a Mosin Nagant front sight and muzzle configuration, not that of a Mauser.

Sorry, people, but it's a mistake the character Beckett would never have made. It's also a mistake about rifles that a "Sniper movie" shouldn't have made.

5/5 Excellent deal for three movies
  by J. Lundberg
First of all, The Sniper 1 dvd in this box set is incorrectly labeled as anamorphic widescreen. It says this right on the back of the dvd box. Let me assure you, this is not anamorphic widescreen. This version is a fullscreen version but the good thing is that this is the best transfer of this movie to date. The video quality and sound are superb. And, it is not the crappy dual layered version that was issued in 1998 which can give many dvd players lots of problems with freezing. This wonderful fullscreen version is a single layered disc which contains only the fullscreen version. It also has a top labeling on the dvd itself and plays perfectly with no freezing. The Sniper 2 and 3 dvds in this box set both have true anamorphic widescreen and are also top notch quality.

Sniper 1 is an excellent movie. Sniper 2 is not good at all, just one bad movie in my opinion. But Sniper 3 is excellent and makes up for how awful Sniper 2 is.


4/5 Sniper Series
  by Douglas P. Kancler (Rochester, NY USA)
I enjoyed Sniper I, and, if you are into some suspenseful "military Type" movies, this is a fun series to watch. Sometimes there are some hokey parts, but all-in-all, it was a good action series!!!
