Much imitated but rarely bettered, this disc features both spin off movies from the hugely popular 1970s detective series THE SWEENEY. In the first film, DI Regan (John Thaw) is asked to investigate the mysterious death of a friend's girlfriend. But as he is suspended, he can't ask his partner, DC Carter (Dennis Waterman) for any help. With no support, he must go alone to find the killer.
In THE SWEENEY 2, Regan and Carter are reunited and on the trail of gang of robbers who only ever steal exactly 100,000. The trail leads them as far as Beirut and Malta but the answer may lie closer to home in the shape of a corrupt ex-policeman played by Denholm Elliot.
