Icons of Adventure Movie Titles: Icons of Adventure Synopsis: Hammer wasn't just horror. The legendary British studio is justly revered for its classic horror movies, but they actually made all kinds of pictures, and this first Sony collection of their best films presents four pulse-pounding adventures--all new to DVD--three of them starring Hammer icon Christopher Lee. He's at his snarling best as blood-thirsty buccaneers in the rousing swashbucklers THE PIRATES OF BLOOD RIVER and THE DEVIL-SHIP PIRATES.
