How is the pilot? Does it have any of the original cast members, or even characters?

I looked for this at Best Buy but they didn't have the collection (single only). Not available for in-store pick-up online, either.

I looked at the back of the box set and was suprised to see a different cover art for Revenge of the Nerds II and that cover art looks like shit

Yeah, not a great Nerds II cover, but I guess it might have been at least kind of nice if they had done them all with the "between the legs" thing like the front cover of the box, then it would at least be a recurring thing.

Bah! What is with the whole thing of needing to put a sticker on top of the UPC? I just have to get out my Goof Off every time and remove it...can't the studios get it right on the art itself?

It's too bad it didn't stay the "We've Got Bush" edition. I didn't know they changed it until today.

Yeah, I wasn't suprised with the change, I would have been shocked if it did actually stay!

I bought the boxset today. It's ironic that the best movie, has the worst cover art. I found the commentary very enjoyable. Busfield's story about how he got the Poindexter laugh/scream, made me laugh like crazy.

The new cover art for Nerds II isn't bad, far better then the new Nerds I art IMO.

I can't wait to listen to the commentary track and to re-watch Nerds IV for the first time in a long time.

It's mind-blowingly awful. I was surprised by how good the picture quality was though, especially since it was made in 1991.

The four main characters are Lewis, Gilbert, Wormser and Booger. The first three are played by a bunch of no-names that you've never heard of and Booger is played by Robbie "Cousin Oliver" Rist.

Words cannot describe how awful it is. It's a Fox production (obviously) and I assume that the Fox network ordered it as a pilot for their own network and it's plain to see how they would have watched this pilot in '91 and said "if we're gonna do 'Nerds' on TV we need the original cast".

Slipcovers are just another layer of security, and by putting the sticker there, it actually adds yet another layer of security since they usually keep the slipcover stuck to the dvd case, so it can deter more theft. I agree with you though, I hate it too.

Fox is lame for switching the subtitle, they still have no balls or brains.

Picked up the boxset at Wal-Mart thanks to a poster here. Best Buy did not have it, and no location in a 100 mile search did either. So far ive only watched the extras on the first movie....and there pretty good. The documentry was petty interesting and the pilot....damn...was a piece of crap. I could actually see the 'house' outside the window move as its a friggin piece of paper.

What? No Donald Gibb?!? Now that just sucks.

How is the transfer of the first movie compared to the old disc?

The box set seems like a decent deal but I don't know if I can live with actually owning Nerds 3 and 4.

I really liked the documentary and it was fun to see nerds II for the first time in at least 10 years. I could have lived without the inclusion of III and IV though. Not a bad way to spend 20 bucks.

Look at it this way - so you don't necessarily want 3 & 4, but for only about $5 more you're still getting 2, which was a decent movie. That alone should be worth the extra cost, even if you never end up watching 3 or 4. To me it was a no brainer.

Hey owners of the box set, check your actual disc art on Revenge of the nerds panty raid edition. In my set the slim case says "Panty Raid Edition" on the cover, but my actual disc says "We've Got Bush" edition.

ROTN 2 is listed as widescreen, but not anamorphic, whereas on the double feature disc both were anamorphic. I really hope this is a misprint. Can anyone confirm?

I got the box set from DD. I just checked, and my disc says "Panty Raid Edition". Ah well !!

I just thought of this, was the director in the same room, with the other guys, during the commentary? I don't really remember them interacting with him. Usually it's a dead giveaway on others, but with this one, if the director was edited in, they did a pretty good job, I think.

I wish I could watch this but I can't find the box set anywhere :(
Anyone have any luck in Manhattan? The Best Buys and Circuit Citys don't have it.

It's the exact same copy as the doube feature set. Nothing added nothing removed. The trailer is on there for Nerds 2 and Porky's 2 though it is not listed on the packaging.

its funny that when i looked this up in the cumputer today at work (BBV) it still says
"we've got bush" edition

Between the commentary and the documentary I have a newfound respect for this movie. I never would have guess that the movie had so much stuff ad libbed, and pretty much all the good stuff was created by the actors themselves.

As for the pilot, TV Booger was not nearly as cool and was really annoying. Was this supposed to be some Saturday Morning garbage or what?

The woman who played Betty still looks good. :up:

This is not the first time Walmart carried box sets that BB & CC did not carry. A few weeks ago Walmart carried the Infernal Affairs box set and BB/CC did not have it. Walmart is funny sometimes with their new releases...

Has anybody seen the boxset in Canada? I have checked Future Shop and Best Buy and they only seem to have Revenge of the Nerds I in stock.

just saw TRotN tv pilot and man! was that some horrible stuff. Booger played by the same kid who ruined "The Brady Bunch" ...can you get any worse than that???????

If I am correct shouldn't the kid who played Oliver on The Brady Bunch be close to if not OVER 40 years old? And he was playing a college kid?

I went to Future Shop, Best Buy, HMV and Wal-mart looking for this. No one had it. Took a last chance effort and went to zellers, where I found it on release day for $30. CDPLUS in my mall also had it but for $40.

Yeah but the pilot was made 16 years ago. According to Wikipedia he was born in 1964 which would make him only 27 when the pilot was made.

I saw it the same way you did, bro.

BTW, I got it at Kmart, it was $16.99 with the Fox coupon from the Bargain thread.

Thanks. I may have to order this online.

Is this boxset another 'instant OOP' thing? I was at BB last week and swear I saw it but didn't pick it up.
And to confirm, the RotN SE/We've Got Panty Raid edition, is the same disk that's in the boxset?

I don't think BB got them in anywhere this last week. I went on release day and asked and the blue shirt (who was actually quite helpful) told me they didn't receive any and might not until next (now this) week. I went back to work and checked the BB website for any availability and there were none anywhere in IL but you could order online. I went over to Fry's on my way home to get it there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they show up this week in BB stores, of course not at the sale price they were supposed to be last week.

Yes it is.

27 would be around the age the main actors were when they made the movie.

The stars were right on the commentary, today they would have actors who were actually around college freshman age playing their parts.

Try HMV, I've seen copies there.

So, reading the review says it was the SAME TRANSFER used....that seems odd. Great movie though....I rented it for the extras already :)

I don't know about that. That's almost never the case.

That guy from the OC was supposed to star in the remake, and according to imdb he's 27.

Peter Gallagher?

I just watched the pilot, I couldn't understand what the hell they were saying since I am deaf but man, that is one shitty pilot! However, it is hilarious to see Rob Stone from Mr. Beverdle playing Lewis

You didn't miss much from the dialog.

The visuals were generic and cheap, the dialog is the audio equivalent of the visuals.


I would pay to see movie Booger kick the crap out of TV Booger.

Got mine at Target during the week of release. They had a ton of them.
