Walgreens double-feature $1 DVDs
I just returned from the local Walgreens and notice a new series of double-feature DVDs for $1. Most of them were standard PD fare, but one disc caught my eye...
BMX Bandits (1983) / Evel Knievel (1971)
Evel Knievel is easy enough to find, but this is the first time that I've seen BMX Bandits on disc. The quality is slightly above the typical $1 disc and is most certainly worth picking up for anyone who is interesting in seeing it.

I bought BMX Bandits DVD by Digiview back in January at the dollar store. Great movie.
DVD Profiler lists Australia region 4 and UK region 2 versions of this movie as anamorphic widescreen, but the US versions are fullscreen.

BMX Bandits isn't that bad... better than the digiview stuff that I've seen.

After reading about it, I really want to buy it.

If that that's a reference to the Diamond Entertainment HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL/LAST MAN ON EARTH double-feature... don't bother. I have it. Not only is it fullscreen (instead of original widescreen), but it is sub-VHS quality.... I was happy to have it 5-6 years ago, but it doesn't compare to the single $1.

BMX Bandits wasn't too bad, probably worth the 50¢. It's hard to believe that 15/16 year old grew up to be Nicole Kidman though. Seeing it in anamorphic widescreen would be interesting, but only if it's again for 50¢!
(I'll be saving Evel Knievel starring George Hamilton to watch sometime in the far distant future.)
