It’s slam-bang time on the Billboard magazine video rental chart. The big action-adventure hits from last summer are just out on home video and could dominate the Top 5 for a while. “Die Hard,” with Bruce Willis dodging terrorists in a Century City high-rise, debuted at No. 3. “The Dead Pool”--featuring Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry chasing a crazed killer in San Francisco--muscled its way to No. 5. “The Presidio,” with Sean Connery and Mark Harmon chasing smugglers--also in San Francisco--entered at No. 6.

* “Bull Durham,” the sexy baseball comedy starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon, was a hit at the box office ($50 million gross) and could do bang-up business in the rental market. It debuted at No. 10 but look for it to crash the Top 5.
