Above The Rim / Bullet (2 Disc Set)

Above The Rim:
Kyle Lee Watson knows how to slam dunk like no other in his 'hood. THe hottest basketball player around, Kyle has his eyes set on playing in the NBA - and he has every chance of getting there. There's just one problem: every hustler he knows wants a piece of his action, especially Birdie, a drug dealing homeboy with less than legal motives. If Kyle chooses to play with Birdie's arch rivals, he may find himself taking time-outs...permanently. Either way he's heading for the basketball showdown of the year, when the 'hoods toughest gangs meet head to head for some high-flying, big-shooting action; and where playing dirty is the way they play ball.

Bullet:
Butch "Bullet" Stein is a Jewish junkie from the mean streets of Brooklyn, is paroled after eight years in prison. Butch rips off a runner for local drug dealer, Tank, and is soon right back into his old habits of snorting coke and shooting up heroin with his best friend Lester. Enraged by Butch's affront and already determined to get revenge on him for a past wrong, Tank sets about getting even with his old enemy by hiring a hulking brute, Gates to beat Butch. When the confrontation occurs, however, Gates breaks his hand on the battle-hardened Butch. Besides Lester, the only people in Butch's corner are his two brothers, the mentally-unhinged Vietnam War veteran Louis and aspiring artist Ruby, neither of whom can be counted on to help him in the inevitable showdown.
