Time Trax and More Sci Fi TV on DVD from Warner Archives

Time Trax: The Complete First Season

It began in the future. A scientist turning to evil, a time machine called TRAX, criminals who vanish and a lawman with a mission. He has one weapon and a computer named SELMA. With them he will travel to a time more innocent than his own. Now he is among us. A special breed of man, a hunter, traveling through our world searching for fugitives from his own, knowing he cannot go home until he has found them all. His name is Darien Lambert and this is his story. Producer extraordinaire Harve Bennett (The Mod Squad, The Six Million Dollar Man, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) returns to episodic TV for this tale of a haunted lawman dispatched across time to retrieve fugitive felons and the evil scientist who sent them there. Dale Midkiff stars as fugitive retrieval specialist Captain Darien Lambert, along with Peter Donat (Mordicai Sahmbi) and Elizabeth Alexander (SELMA) in this Six-Disc, 21-Episode Collection.

Viper's Creed: The Complete First Season

In the near future, World War III leads to environmental catastrophe, causing most of the world’s cities to be flooded. To rebuild the cities, governments hire PMCs – Private Military Corporations – to provide law enforcement. The Arqon Global Security Corporation is one such PMC, and they rely on their elite military unit, Viper, to deal with terrorism and violent crime in Fort Daiva City. But not only does Viper have to deal with criminal elements, they also have to handle a strained relationship with the regular military. From acclaimed director Shinji Aramaki (Starship Troopers: Invasion) comes a compelling animated series set in a dangerous future where armed battle and global warming lead to perilous circumstances. Newly remastered.

Shazam! The Complete Live-Action Series

By uttering a single magic word young Billy Batson transforms himself into the world’s mightiest mortal, Captain Marvel. The acronym of the first letters of the names of the six elders who train Billy with their respective special gifts: Solomon, wisdom; Hercules, strength; Atlas, stamina; Zeus, power; Achilles, courage; and Mercury, speed, in a word...SHAZAM! Now, the entire series is available in this 3-disc set featuring every exciting episode of this classic television show!


Frankenstein (1993 TV Movie)

In the early 19th century, Dr. Frankenstein (Patrick Bergin, Sleeping with the Enemy) discovers the secret of life – how to create a perfect man – powerful, intelligent and immune to disease. But something goes wrong in the laboratory and the doctor’s hideous creation (Randy Quaid, National Lampoon’s Vacation) disappears into the night. At first, Frankenstein hoped that the horrible monster would perish in the wilderness, but now he senses that it’s alive and sets out for him. Dr. Frankenstein tracks the creature to the Arctic, where the two must battle to decide who will become the master of the other’s life…or death. “Nobody’s ever done a Frankenstein like this one and nobody’s ever done a better one” (Houston Chronicle).

Wonder Woman (1974)

Statuesque Tennis Pro turned performer Cathy Lee Crosby swung the magic lasso in a very different TV incarnation. As developed by scribe John D.F. Black, and seemingly influenced by her recent turn as a mod, cat-suited crime-fighter in the pages of her DC Comics home, this Amazon Princess was more superspy than superhero. But fret not, four-color fans! Many of the expected wondrous elements from bracelets and lassos to Paradise Island and invisible jets, all make an appearance, albeit with a sleek, seventies espionage superaction refit. Ricardo Montalban plays the laconic lothario who lurks at the top of a conspiracy to make off with ultra-secret code books, leading Agent Prince to discover an Amazon sister-in-exile (Anitra Ford).
