Latest Wal-Mart circular lists 2-DVD packs for $7.84. They appear to be repackaged in some way (badged as Family Double Feature, Action Double Feature, etc.). "Includes titles shown and many more." Pictured are:

A Little Princess/Secret Garden
Hard To Kill/Above The Law
Arthur/Arthur 2
Cobra/Tango & Cash
Frantic/Presumed Innocent
Diner/a movie I can't recognize since it's too small

You need to get your eyes checked, the movie is clearly Liberty Heights. Thanks for the post-I'll have to check and see what other 2 packs that might be good.

I figured it was probably another Levinson film, but I'm clearly not up to speed on all of those covers.

are you sure they are flippers...i had heard in previous threads that they were keep cases with two disc. I was wondering if they were just cheap box set two packs with snappers...I have none of these and cannot confirm.



other threads discussing these disc (not this sale)

I put out the Frantic/Presumed Innocent set at work the other day. It is a regular keepcase (no snapper) and I can't tell for sure but it felt like 2 discs.

I bought Above the Law/Hard to Kill and Specialist/Assassins (seriously). I can confirm that the Seagal set is indeed 2 disks in a regular case. I assume the others are the same.

Does this just go through Saturday?
I'm hoping to pick up the Seagal and Jackie Chan sets. Anyone know if both movies in each set are widescreen?

Spinout/Double Trouble is dual-sided, but at least they're both anamorphic widescreen.
Battleground includes the Tex Avery short "Little Rural Riding Hood". Careful on this. I know when I saw the cartoon on Cartoon Network a few years back, at least one of the wolf's reactions was cut out.

I've always been a Stallone fan but "Assasins" was kinda boring to me but "The Specialist" is my favorite sly movie!

I'm going to see if I can find "The Hidden".
I always thought the lady who was the stripper in the movie got a raw deal.
She was the only one who didn't steal a Ferrari or get to drive a Ferrari.
Did anyone ever notice that?
All she got to drive was an old Cadillac.

Two questions:

1)For those who own most of the DVDs in individuel snapper cases, are you going to change them to the double features?

2)Are the disc content/design/menus in the double features still the same as the individuel titles?

I got the Curse of Frankenstein / Taste the Blood of Dracula release and it is a flipper. I would hazard a guess that content would be identical to single disc releases. Be aware or beware also that there are a fair number of P&S discs in these sets. I would have bought the Arthur release but the original film is 1.33:1 while the sub par sequel appeared to be anamorphic widescreen.

Buyer beware some of these are 1.33:1 - fullframe. I was going to pick up Detonator 2 pack but they were both foolscreen......yuck.
