I thought the Godfather 2 and 3 sigle discs were supossed to be out already. Anyone know why they didn't release them yet?

Mr. Salty

No release date was ever announced that I know of.

Brent L

Just some time in 2005 as far as I know.

Cameron

the origianal date was 10.05.04 never showed up. Next year.

I'd buy the boxset that's out now, you get a 4th disk with extras and I'm sure you can sell the others you don't want.

Part 2 and 3 are available on their own in Region 4

but can GODFATHER 2 fit in one disc? If they put it in one disc, wouldnt it be a flipper due to the length?

steelpotato

Unfortunately(or fortunately, considering it keeps the transfer at as high a bit rate as possible) Godfather 2 is still on 2 discs. The only extra on it and the Godfather are the commentary, haven't bothered with Part 3

Apocalypse Now Redux is 202 minutes (imdb) just two minutes longer than GF Pt. II but it was still managed to fit on 1 disc with reasonable video quality and active 5.1 DD. Was this due to advanced technology or budget in '79 compared to GF Pt. II's 74 production?

DVD Polizei

You really don't need a high bitrate on GF 2, because most of the scenes are mostly with people standing still or sitting down and talking. A person could easily put GF2 on one disc, as a dual layer. Of course, since most scenes are blackened or dark (due to the nature of the movie) a high bitrate might necessary so you don't see the compression artifacts inherent in DVD compression.

Btw, I'd like to know the size of the GF2 disc 1 and 2 and see just how "high quality" these really are.

for anyone still interested in part II.
koreandvds.com has it for $9.99

The Godfather 2 has a commentary track, whereas Apocalypse Now Redux doesn't. Considering the length of those films, that track alone might be enough to make it not fit on a single disc.

Quack

Not sure. I picked up the Trilogy when it first came out, love the movies and the casing it came in!

Thunderball

I hope they don't release them separately

As long as this set has been out now and as nice a set as the GF Collection is I'm suprised the people that want I and II haven't just bitten the bullet and picked it up, ala' The Alien Quadrilogy.

was ap now redux supposed to origninally be a 2 disc set? i remeber seeing best buy ads saying it was 2 discs.

Cameron

from the digital bits rumor mill 2.10.05

Paramount will also release The Godfather, Part II and The Godfather, Part III as stand-alone titles in May. We're waiting to see if these contain any new features (other than those that were previously included in The Godfather DVD Collection box set).

So, they can get them in 3 nice keep cases instead of a carboard box that's the reason I'm buying them seperately.

Mike Lowrey

Well, thanks Cameron.

Cameron

glad to see these made it to shelves this time around. Savant had a review up for 2, and I am glad they kept it a two disc set. Just wish they would rebox with the keep cases...i want that bonus disc....

also any chance the box set will be getting a drop soon

I purchased the single DVDs of: The Godfather II & III yesterday at Best Buy. They were officially released this Tuesday. If any other merchants did not have them in stock, then It must be for some other reason. I've got mine

Chaza

Cool, next time I join CH I'll get Godfather 1 and 2.

Fincher Fan

I picked up the single disc releases of The Godfather I and II because I didn't want Part III and the commentaries are carried over. What are the extra features from the fourth disc of the boxset and are they worthwhile?

billy9215

So, the Godfather II single release is a two disc set?
