I might be interested in a few of them...the Free Willy movies for my son. The Chuck Norris, Murder flicks and Poison Ivy series would be the ones I'd get.

I'm curious about how these are packaged. Is this a triple feature on a single disc, or are these 2-disc sets? Do they retail any/all extras from previous releases, or are they bare-bones? Etc.

I saw most of these triple features today at Wal-Mart and picked up the Lethal Weapon set. To anwers some of the questions above:
1. The 3 films come in 2 DVDs. The first 2 films are on flipper discs (Disc 1 Side A Lethal Weapon 1, Side B, Lethal Weapon 2 and Disc 2 Lethal Weapon 3. Disc 2 even has a Disc art.)
2. The Lethal Weapon set are the director's cut edition and are widescreen.
3. I saw the Poison Ivy set and they are the unrated versions but full screen editions of the 3 films.
I don't know about the other sets, but everyone should read carefully the specs before making their purchase.
The sets go at Wal-Mart for $9.59

As for me, I like the 3 Lethal Weapon films and Dark City. Frequency and Thirteen Days are pretty good too.

If it's just the films on the discs with no extras, I don't see the quality suffering that much. For all we know, some of the discs could indeed be DVD-14 or DVD-18; but I wouldn't expect that much from what seems to be bargin-bin releases. I'm a little bit upset that the Poision Ivy set is full screen only as that was the only set I had in mind to purchase, but I'm curious to see how the other New Line sets will be. Their previous double-feature discs were full frame only, but 15 Minutes, Frequency, ad Thirteen Days were Platinum Series or Infinifilm discs. Hell, the original Boiler Room disc was dual-layered and that had no video extras besides some deleted scenes and the trailer.

Do you expect them to be dual-sided, dual layered??
This is just WB's way of sending out cheapo versions.

you are incorrect my friend. All discs are dual layered, according to the specs on the back of the DVD case.
