- In the 90's they attempted to reboot the television drama "The Defenders", starring Martha Plimpton and Beau Bridges. Unfortunately actor EG Marshall, from the original 60s show, died after the second episode was completed. They were aired as TV movies and then released in very limited quantity on VHS. They've never been released for streaming or DVD since then. This is ripped directly from VHS, thus the quality.
Yet another Brilliant movie!! Loved the humor and the great plot. !!
Loved it. The Defenders would have been as great as The Law and Order series and such. I love legal dramas mixed with everything and this does it.
Beautiful
Wow great movie..the flaws of the law..but all is well that ends well..
Terrible closed-captioning, really detracts from the quality of the flic.
Verygood. Very good
Met Lloyd Bridges over here in Cayman. He was on a cruise with his family. I knew who he was but decided not to intrude as he paid for his purchases with his wife. He then said to me 'you have the most beautiful blue eyes'. That was it....i had to gush, not aa lovely as yours! True. Fun.
Very nice. Thankyou for sharing and yes Fun.
@fionagallegos9072....that's funny ...you say "...as he paid for his purchases with his wife".....I normally pay for my purchases with cash or plastic.
Hmmm, too bad I'm a widower.....maybe I have to get myself another wife ..LOL
@@andrep8287 hAaa!
Good job to defend innocent man
Man, was not expecting this. Thing had me completely swallowed up in the plot, at times laughing out loud, then in my feels, then mad at various characters. Totally worth the watch and definitely going onto my 'movies' playtlist.
Oh now THIS review was NOT written by a chatbot . "In my feels" that's gotta be new?!
the original "the defenders" tv show was the greatest tv show of the 1960's IMO....eg marshall and robert reed had great chemistry on screen
Totally agree 💯. Will never be duplicated.
Beau Bridges is brilliant! thanks for sharing this series. I love them.
This is a good one.
Your free. The truth shall set u free. God’s Word
Beautiful work.
Love these Defender movies! Thank you :)
Good Movie
🇬🇧 Really good 👏🏻
Very good script and story. Acting was exceptional.
Bloody brilliant movie really enjoyed it thank you
Series of new films on Showtime based on the old television series finds the lawyers having to defend a journalist charged in a wrongful death. However, because of a bureaucratic screw-up, he is accidentally freed from prison which sets him on the run and into an incident in which a policeman is killed during an attempt to re-capture him. - imdb
That was a good show . It’s difficult when you’re in this situation . Good actors all around .
I hate accidentally getting let out early . But I always take advantage of the opportunity.
And this was VERY good , so we're the other ones ,but THIS one...damn
Excellent movie!
Excellent and Heart Felt Great Movie 😅😊❤
It was a great movie so thanks for sharing 👌👍👍👍
@James Bradford : thanx for sharing this rare film.
as it was more of a Court case scenario, I was more intent to just listen to it,.. like a podcast. :)
Cheers von Australia
Such a wonderful family of actors...all of their movies are interesting amd unusual..
None of this would have happened if some incompetent cop didn't fuck up and let him out.
He also wouldn't have killed a cop if he got out of town upon his release.
That was good.
A real nail biter.
From the predictable early round scenes of the initial "reversal of fortune", I thought that this film may degrade to a series of predictable plot developments. What a pleasant surprise that this script slowly unfolded into a very engaging, suspense filled, and emotionally sinuous "ride" =👌 Thanks James Bradford, very enjoyable....
OH.... and Martha Plimpton has never been one of my favorite actors, but her role and performance was pivotal = 👍
Chat GPT has entered the room. I would love to believe your comment came from a human, but it sounds so much like an auto-generated post. If you are actually a regular human, you should strive to sounds like one. There's a fair to middling chance that I've just fed the big AI machine with this comment and that is a weapon to be used against me.
@@2damnoldforUtubeyeah I've never heard a human being say "emotionally sinuous" 😂 ....sorry I trashed your earlier comment, that's how I react to solipsism
Variety in 1998 gave it a less than stellar review. Watching this in 2024 (and a big fan of the original series) it’s a solid made for TV crime film - not the best but entertaining snd a solid cast
👍👍
The Defenders was one of my favorites!
Fantastic film, thank you .................
I think this may be my favorite installment.
Great to see Beau Bridges, E.G. Marshall and Martha Plimpton.
James McDaniel is impressive here.
Thanks for posting!
Pls load more of his movies
Thanks so much for these! Do you have the first of the films, "Payback"?
I just discovered this series yesterday. I was busy in the 90s so it’s a treat to find so many gems like this show on RUclips now. The writing, acting and storytelling were so good. Bridges and Marshall are superb along with the supporting cast.
I’ve been finding so many outstanding shows and movies on RUclips I’ve cancelled all my other subscriptions. I have RUclips premium so I don’t get ads. I find the quality of movies 20, 30 and 50 years ago far superior to almost all the new shows. Today’s programs lack even elementary levels of storytelling. They are mostly special effects, poor acting and horrendous editing with straight cuts every second or more. None of that is needed to tell good stories. What happened to writers?
No one wanted to pay them anymore.
And remember, the communist Chinese own most of the hollywood production now. Even more 'agitprop' than before....
@MovieMakingMan....I concur.....I also subscribe to YT-Premium, and not only get to watch these great old(er) movies without commercials, but can also enjoy my "Zero to 1800" type of classical music - some rare finds of great recording qualities (both life or recorded).
That said, I still maintain my premium Netflix subscription as well, simply in case YT's exec suite decides that their shareholders are being short-changed.😂
@@andrep8287 Cool. I love RUclips premium! I pay about $80/ month for hulu and $12 for RUclips premium. I watch RUclips 95% of the time, Prime 4% and Hulu just 1%. I only have hulu to watch college football and basketball. That’s a high cost to watch Hulu for so much. I wish I could find a way to watch college sports without a high cost streaming service.
I started watching the movie Suddenly last nite. It’s a remake of the 1957 version with Frank Sinatra and Sterling Hayden. The original was outstanding. I’m going to finish the remake tomorrow. I can’t believe all the great movies on RUclips.
Not to be picky, but you failed to show the 12 locks that the Haitian couple would have had to open to admit MJ. LOL
Also, it is sad that MJ admits to sleeping around; she seems to regard sex as a form of recreation. That's an American problem.
We never got this series in UK, BBC and ITV buy series like this one from USA, they would not get this one as it was "too political."
So well dONE justice is hard to to come by at times the cast performances were brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
GREAT MOVIE!
Wonderful, satisfying, sensitive
Good movie🎉
Tres bon film! Merci pour le partage!👍🐞🦋🌹
Not as good as the TV show
That was so cute about sex she could read Brail. Safe sex.
Ecclesiastes 3:16
K J V
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
Capiche?
There is injustice in the place of justice.
But no god had anything to do with any outcome. I’ve read the Bible many times. Christians don’t read the Bible. If they did they’d realize the biblical god is a serial mass murderer that loves genocide, misogyny, slavery, animal & human sacrifices, torture, rape, incest and countless other immoral acts. That ‘god’ ordered his ‘chosen people’ to slaughter entire towns but spare little girls who were then enslaved and raped the rest of their lives by those ‘chosen people’. Anyone who has an open mind and is honest who reads the entire Bible would become atheist. There’s not one human being who is as immoral as the biblical god. Christianity is the worst invention of man in world history. It is worse and more deadly than all wars, weapons and diseases in the history of mankind. There are at least 125,000 known gods through time. That means that Christians who believe in just one of those gods is 99.999995% atheist. If they actually read the Bible and we’re honest it would remove all doubt and that 99.999995% would become 100% atheist.
How can a production made once be "rare"?
Very good now who will help Janette F Robinson Brown on finding out if Elvis Presley is my biological father or if Elvis just used my mother who was related to him through the West Virginia bloodline if Elvis conned my mother into a sexual affair with John F. Kennedy and Monroe and later Elvis takes my mother to Roychester NY and has her committed into a insane institution which she was later released because my mother was extremely smart but they injured her skull leaving me to believe my true mother was possibly Rosemary Kennedy see they forced Eular Agnes Robinson to take the place of Rosemary so Rosemary could at least live a normal life but what her father my grandfather did to her brain was wrong see no one understood Bi-polar at the time so my Grandfather had my mother put under surgery that went wrong. Yes I am blood related to John F. Kennedy so sad at his family comes to Anderson, SC to watch me but they never bother me because they don’t want me to know who my true family is. So sad because I could frankly give a damn. You see me and I see you but yet you abandoned me.

Turned OFF of it.....Disgusting language.
There are all sorts of movies on you tube.......pick those that does not offend you so much. Some of us enjoy these movies, so too each their own.
the black man is a bad actor
Lt. Fancy in the mix! (NY reference)
That whole smoke thing the judge did was priceless
He fuck'd up that pig so bad because he owed that to him and in a small way we all do ...aw🤗🤗🤗
I would have hated this when it came out. Older now (obviously) but it has some quality to it that I've come to appreciate. Too bad it never lived to it's potential.
Im glad we know you better now🙄
@@ttacking_you You're welcome.
Hey you sound like you used to be a racist prick shitkicker
Am I right?
@@ttacking_you That's an idiotic question. You never knew me before. Now you know me from a few sentences. You sure as shit don't know me, but also, you know me better than you did. So yes, you are right. It seems like that's what you want to hear.
