"Straight-Jacket" and "Berserk" are a double feature from Mill Creek and bare-bones. The other "Straight-Jacket" is from Shout!, and features are still being determined.

I never recall a studio leasing a film to two 3rd parties at the same time. Both releases are scheduled for August with the Mill Creek coming first. There is no reason to believe the releases will have different film elements. I suppose if the Mill Creek double feature is on one disk there might be differences in the quality of the releases. However these films are not exactly known for the high quality of the filming.

I thought Shout! and Mill Creek were related - recall reading about one acquiring the other or merging several years ago but maybe I was dreaming that because I can find no record of it. They do have some kind of a sub licensing deal that I’m able to find reference to.

Maybe you're thinking about the Shout! purchase of "Timeless Media Group" back in May, 2012. TMG released lots of classic 50s series no one else seemed interested in releasing.

I've always wondered if small labels place a few cheap copies on Amazon Prime through a third party to get Amazon itself to lower their own price. If people weren't aware, Amazon will start dropping their own price on an item to move the Prime Seller's inventory.

Planet of the Apes collection, the original 5 movies, is $19.57. I set a Camel alert for $20 and it popped up last night. I'm tempted, but money is a little tight right now and these feels a little superfluous. It has hit $15 a couple times over the last few years. I dunno. Thought I'd pass it along.

Back to $14.99, I bit. All good things come to those who wait.

I'm on a Prime 30 day trial, so I bit. Hope I like the films, I didn't as a child.

With the $10 credit for buying this + something on Prime day, it came to $6.44 with tax. Can't beat that.

I'll second that recommendation. It's been a while since I've read it, but I still remember enjoying it immensely!

You have to do a bit of searching, but you can find Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes on Amazon for pretty cheap.

For that price it's worth it for the original POTA. IMHO, the 2nd, Beneath.. is somewhat tolerable but laughable, Escape... is better than Beneath... but not as good as the first. Conquest... and Battle... are pretty much wastes of time. They really should have never made the sequels and think Burton's "disaster" was better than any of those four films. If you were ~6-13 when the sequels were released made you likely have a higher opinion of them than I have. I own all the original POTA films for completeness' sake but the only one I watch is the first.

If you've never done so, read the book.

I actually have a somewhat low opinion of them based on childhood memories; I was hoping I'd like them more at 60 than I did at 10 or so. I got the impression that the op did like them. Wish I would have read you post before ordering!

Guess I'll find out...........
