What DVD Titles Have You "Dipped" On The Most (Other Than Evil Dead Series) ?
I was looking at a few oddities I've doubledipped on here lately and the question came to my mind. The Evil Dead series seems to be the most obvious title/series, so I was wondering what other titles everyone has bought over once, twice, and more? I've never been a fan of doubledipping but that doesn't mean I haven't done so from time to time. Off the top of my head I can think of a few I've dipped more than twice in my collection-
Kill Bill- 4 times (2 early cheesy imports, the official release and a Japanese 2 pack) Rocky- 3 times (early first release, then in both box sets- and am NOT buying the third box set coming out next year!) Aliens-3 times (first and second SEs and in the Japanese R2 Quadrilogy set) |
I dipped 3 times for Rock 'N' Roll High School. One of the first dvd's ever released was a bare boned R&R High School, then I bought the 2nd version which was more widely released then yesterday I had to pick up the new version that just came out....DAMN!

I've got 3 copies of 2001: a space odyssey. The first Kubrick Collection release, the Remastered release and the silver box Collector's edition. I realise that I don't need to keep them all but since it is one of my favourites I don't mind having them take up space. I'm actually looking to pick up the first release of this if I ever see it somewhere.

Black Hawk Down
Bought the first release...then the 3-disc...and also bought the Superbit for DTS and better PQ. |
I've never double-dipped more than once.
All 3 LOTRs (have both versions) Spaceballs Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas Robocop Aliens The first 2 Austin Powers (just for the cases) The Black Hole Clerks Daredevil Predator 2 T2 X-Men |
I upgrade to Anamorphic only. Extras I never watch.

I've been bit by the double-dip bug a few times
Field of Dreams & Batman most recently Aliens (one of the first DVDs I bought but I had to get the quadrilogy) Blues Brothers (had to have the theatrical version) A Bug's Life (don't even remember why) Casablanca (another early buy) The Color Purple (my only flipper, happy to be rid of it) Heat Jaws (wanted the mono track) I have both versions of all the LOTR films Malcolm X The Matrix Silence of the Lambs (kept the Criterion for the commentary, upgraded for the picture) The Untouchables I'll be upgrading Lady & the Tramp and probably 4 Weddings & a Funeral pretty soon. |
I double dipped to from the barebones Memento to the LE.
I double dipped from the standard issues of Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, and Animatrix to get the Collection. And I upgraded my copies of Office Space and Escape from NY. and I double dipped the entire Evangelion series. and...The Office (to get the set). hrmph, I've double dipped much more than I thought. |
The only thing I've ever double dipped on was Underworld. But that was only because I found the extended version for $6 used.
|
Memento.
|
Just Black Hawk Down, Warriors, Iron Giant and Hoosiers for me. Although I usually end up selling the less-extras-heavy versions to BBV when they have their $8 promotions.
|
I've never double dipped. Been tempted a few times, but I managed to resist.

The Ring series. I have (in order of purchase):
Ring (Ringu) - Tartan UK R0 release Ring 2 - Tartan UK R0 release Ring 0 - Tartan UK R0 release Then... Ringu - R1 release Later I picked up: The Ring Trilogy: Ring/Ring 2/Ring 0/Sleeping Bride - Tartan UK R0 release Mainly because I wanted the Sleeping Bride movie that was an extra on it. A little later I ended up picking up Ringu: Anthology of Terror - R1 Because I got it on a good deal. |
I have 3 copies of Saving Private Ryan. The early non-DTSrelease, then I accidently bought the re-release thinking it was DTS, but DTS was only in the gift set, so I bought that one too.
I have all 3 LOTR in theatrical and EE, and I have the Taiwan EE's for the wooden box. |
Triple dip on Wizard of Oz
|
When Justice League season one comes out, that will win. I had the individual releases (up through the Starcrossed movie) sold them and bought some, uh, "unofficial" releases.
|
Bought the Alien Legacy collection and then Quadrilogy, but was able to sell Legacy for what I bought it for.
I think that's it. |

Have
Daredevil Goodfellas Scarface Meet the Parents BillyMadison/Happy Gilmore There's something about mary WWE The Rock: Just Bring it Tommy Boy Blazing Saddles Half baked On my wishlist to add one day Airplane (should be getting today) Casino Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood Not another teen movie Dodgeball Mallrats Clerks Liar Liar The Grudge (DCut) Dumb & Dumber (unrated edition) |
More double-dips than I could even begin to list. I'm a whore for getting the best versions available, and I can often resell the originals for a decent price. (I don't hang onto anything that is replicated or improved on other discs.)
I don't think I've ever quad-dipped... but I've certainly triple-dipped a few times: Black Hawk Down Pretty Woman -eek- Spider-Man Terminator 2 Wizard of Oz Edit: Forgot about Kurosawa's RAN. |

Not counting defective DVDs, I believe the only title I've dipped on more than twice is Manhunter. I bought the 2-disc Anchor Bay LE. Then I got the Divimax Director's Cut. And finally the MGM Japanese theatrical cut DVD. I also got the theatrical cut on laserdisc off of eBay if you wanna count that. So I technically own 5 versions of Manhunter. |
I try not to double dip. I think my only double dips are Raging Bull, T2, Total Recall, Office Space, Ben Hur, Wizard of Oz, first two Lord of the Rings movies, Ran, Army of Darkness and Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 of course :)--might be a couple of others. I didn't double dip at all for a year or so, but Office Space (total impulse buy, that Best Buy special pack sucked me in), Ben Hur, Wizard of Oz and the Evil Dead Books of the Dead 2 pack are all really recent. I'll have to go back to my non double-dipping ways after Ran, which is likely to be my first triple dip (I did sell off the first version for more than I paid at CH, and the second one was from CH too, so at least I didn't waste too much on these).

Double dipped:
T2 ( and I have just ordered 3 Jap versions of this film! ) Manhunter Bad boys and BB2 X-men (to 1.5) Clerks Mallrats Ronin Dodgeball Pulp fiction Triple dipped: Pearl Harbour Black hawk down Infernal Affairs II & III ( I bought the boxed special editions for both, then I bought 2 of the Hong Kong boxsets) Halloween Way of the gun The ones I know I will: Kill Bill ( got the way cool french boxset) Sin City ( Also got the way cool french boxset ) Mr & Mrs Smith ( that extended version coming later ) |
I've never triple dipped, but have doubled a few times
All 3 LOTR (I have both versions) X-Men Bullit Gone with the Wind Jaws Deer Hunter To Kill a Mocking Bird Clerks Memento Escape from NY Alien Aliens I will be buying the Wild Bunch and Network again. |
I don't think I've ever triple dipped, but all the doubles dips I've done are:
12 Monkeys The Big Lebowski Fifth Element Heat Hellboy Leon: The Professional Man on Fire Predator Underworld In the case of Heat, the one I had before was a gift, and then I upgraded, so I'm not sure if that counts as double dipping since I only paid for one. My biggest double dip has to be for the Big Lebowski Achiever's Edition gift set... had to have that one. |
