A List of WB Double Features?
 

Does anyone have a list of the double features that Warner Brothers has out.

So far I only have the following:

Assassins / The Specialist
Cobra / Tango & Cash

And I know of these:

American Flyer / Victory
Dennis the Menace / Dennis the Menace Strikes Back

Just curious what else is out there

Steven Seagal has double feature. Can't remember the movies though.

Also, i'm pretty sure I've seen a Rumble In The Bronx/_________ as well.

Shaft/Shaft Big Score
Police Academy 5/ ?
Don Juan De Marco / The Astronoaut's Wife

Taste the Blood of Dracula/The Curse of Frankenstien

Pump Up the Volume / Bed of Roses

I picked up the Neverending Story set, but discovered later that they were the pan-n-scan versions. They had dropped the widescreen from the original release. I ended up giving it to a neighbor kid, so it all worked out. He's a four year old who had ear surgery that day, so it made a nice gift for him (it was still unopened).

I also picked up the Segal set and it seemed decent. I'm always on the lookout for additional sets for movies where having a nice two-disc set isn't a big issue.

I saw the Neverending Story one at Target, and although I would have loved to have the first movie in a keepcase (and I would have taken the second one without too much complaint), the pan-and-scan element was unacceptable. Shame.

It surprises me that Warner took the full screen route with some of this releases, since they have been very effective of promoting OAR. This was probably done to satisfiy the need of Joe Six Pack and Wal-Mart, dumbing down America, one redneck at a time.

Don't forget the original double-features:

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1931 and 1941 versions)
House of Wax/Mystery of the Wax Museum
Gaslight (1940 and 1944 versions)

And there's also a few triple features in the TCM Archives line:

Lon Chaney Collection - The Ace of Hearts/Laugh Clown Laugh/The Unknown
Buster Keaton Collection - The Cameraman/Spite Marraige/Free and Easy
Greta Garbo Collection - The Temptress/The Flesh and the Devil/The Mysterious Lady

Of course, all three have Photoplay Productions documentaries, commentaries, and other materials. The Chaney set has the photo reconstruction of London After Midnight.

Alot of these Double Features are being re-released today at a lower price. Dropping from 14.99 to 9.99. Maybe they'll end up at Wal-Mart for $4.88 or something in that area.

Other WB DF's: Detonator/Detonator II,
Rumble in the Bronx/Mr. Nice Guy,
(Segal) Hard to Kill/Above the Law
The Hidden/Hidden II

Actually, it's Rumble in the Bronx + The Corruptor. Mr Nice Guy is with Jackie Chan's First Strike.

That's from FOX.

Ohh, I'm a idiot

I sure hope there's more Hammer dbl features like these to come in the future!

I would have been all over this set. Why oh why did they remove the Widescreen version???

Another one: Go West/The Big Store is being released on May 2.

Frantic/Presumed Innocent at Best Buy this week for $6.99 and get free Movie Cash to Firewall Harrison Fords new movie

I just noticed National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1/Senior Trip at DeepDiscountDVD.

Village of the Damned / Children of the Damned
All but one of the discs (The Seventh Victim) in The Val Lewton Collection were double features.

I stumbled across a recent IGN article on double feature dvds:
http://dvd.ign.com/articles/704/704424p1.html

They made reference to a Schwarzenegger commentary on Collateral Damage...
I checked DVDPlanet and they also list an Arnold commentary:
http://www.dvdplanet.com/details.cfm?info=WBD075768

Can anybody confirm? This must be a typo since I'm guessing they are just going to use the original Collateral Damage dvd and doesn't that one only have a commentary by Davis on it? Thanks for any info.

I was really hoping Showdown in Little Tokyo would get a new widescreen transfer :(


I'm totally cereal too :(

they should start doing double features with their classics, especially their mgm musicals.

According to the back cover at DVD Empire, no Arnold commentary is listed.

Thanks... Figured it was too good to be true.

I saw recently a Double feature of Showdown in Little tokyo/ Bloodsport .

Tequila Sunrise/Consipiracy Theory (both fullscreen)
Gumball Rally (Widescreen)/Cannonball Run (fullscreen)
are at my Sam's Club for under $9.

Sad that they're dropping the widescreen versions on some of these (Tequila/Theory) when they had both on the single editions, that means no sale for me.

Nope, but the second feature, Bloodsport has one.

Isn't it Cannonball Run II with Gumball Rally? If so, I believe it was only available in fullscreen previously.

Mea culpa, it was Cannonball Run II.

They really missed the boat not pairing Bloodsport with Kickboxer. That's a double feature if there ever was one. Showdown in Little Tokyo could have been paired with one of Dolph's B actioners that Warner has the rights to, like The Peacekeeper.

Looks like Warner has upped the ante with some up-coming Triple Feature discs. Lethal Weapon 1-3 Director's Cuts all on one disc for under $15 - that's an awesome deal provided they're not compressed to death or the fullscreen versions. Here's the link to the initial batch of upcoming TF releases:

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...-features.html

i assume any special features will be gone from these disc

also note that the John Wayne and Randolph Scott titles are new to dvd

looks like these may be a dvd9 and dvd18...so all special features may remain intact

I'm still trying to figure out why they chose Lethal Weapon for a Triple Feature DVD considering that there are 4 films in the franchise. Wouldn't it have been better to do 2 Double Feature releases instead? I don't personally care for Pt. 4 anyway, so it works for me, but in general it doesn't make much sense.
