Farrah Fawcett and James Russo are outstanding for the characters they portray. The movie description: James Russo is a serial rapist and Farrah Fawcett plays the victim who manages to escape her would be (masked) rapist in the beggining of the movie. However, he still has her purse carrying her personal information and address. Marjorie goes to the police to report her attempted rape and the police inform her "it would be hard to press charges on an unknown assailant" Basically James Russo returns a week or so later back into Marjorie's life at her home to finish what he started. (now he is unmasked, and enters her home). The scenes are brutal: however if you manage to stomach Farrah Fawcett being attacked mentally, and physically you will then witness how she manages to turn the tables on her would be rapist. After the tables are turned though the movie starts to slow down and We wonder what will be the outcome? What will she do with her would be rapist.. Turn him over to the police who he says will let him go since she (yet again) has no proof of sexual assault? Or burry him alive in the back yard? I reccomend this film, but definitely not for children!! Also, the co-stars in this movie make the most of their small roles!!

"Extremities" has been my favorite film since I first viewed it in 1986. Although there are a number of excellent performers out there, Farrah Fawcett's portrayal of Marjorie; an attempted rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker, is the best on film. Her excellent two note performance evenly weighs both the victim and victor perfectly. If you have never seen this movie or even if you just haven't seen it on DVD--don't miss out. It originally was produced on the New York stage & it was so real they had to have guards on hand to prevent people from jumping on stage to help Farrah. As the title of this article states--simply the best.

this DVD Extremities,was in excellent condition when it arrived,also it came very quickly,The movie itself was in excellent condition to,very clear,i really am glad i ordered this from the buyer,very well worth it

I like this movie, the acting is great she (Farrah Fawcitt) is great at making her voice tremble when she's scared and so on. When I saw the half ending on tv recently, I didn't know the name of this movie, so when the credits came on, I remembered the name Farrah Fawcitt. (I only heard of her once before but didn't know what she looked like or who she was before this movie). So I came onto amazon.com and typed in her name and was able to find this movie by reading the reviews. A few weeks later, I saw the movie on tv again but more of the beginning as well. I think it's funny how once the tables are turned and she's in control, how she was prodding him with the fireplace's metal rod that is used for pushing hot logs . He didn't like that too much. I'm going to buy it online here because I want to see the first 15 minutes that I missed, and this movie is a really good movie from what I saw already. I also hope to see other movies that Farrah Fawcitt does because she is talented with her acting and probably has done some other great movies as well!

When Playboy's video "Farrah Fawcett - All of Me" was released in 1997, a reviewer wrote, "if your interest is to see her in the nude, it's better just to get yourself a rated R movie". Another reviewer wrote, "she's much sexier in anything other than this video." Both were right. "Extremities" was an R-rated movie, and Farrah, while not in the buff, was sexy as hell (she was thirty-nine when it was filmed, while "All of Me" marked her fiftieth birthday). Better yet, her strong and believable performance made "Extremities" a surprisingly good thriller. With this movie, she really put the Charlie's Angels era behind her.
