Thanks you save me the trouble of looking for it today. I always thought that Annihilation was an inferior sequel, so I'll wait until Mortal Kombat's WS disc is on sale for $4.99 or less again. I was only willing to get this double feature if both were WS.

No problem. I know I would have bought several of New Line's Double/Triple Features (Jackie Chan's First Strike/Who Am I, Poison Ivy Unrated Trilogy, etc.) had they been WS.

Glad I read this thread and got lucky several weeks ago not buying any of the New Line double feature discs when they had a free ticket to Rush Hour 3. Hadn't known the info on the New Line discs being only FS. I'll be on the look out for the others for the WS.

Another note for all prospective buyers: In case you've forgotten, Paramount's Double Features are a brand-new disc with simply the two movies on this one disc and NO BONUS FEATURES. So both New Line and Paramount's Double Features should be avoided (unless the only bonuses initially were trailers). Paramount's Triple Features are okay -- a double-sided center flap and the regular disc hub mean they stick all three original DVDs inside instead of making new ones.

Does anyone have the Demolition Man/Over The Top DVD? The case says Widescreen, but may not be acurate. Can anyone confirm that both movies are in deed Widescreen?

I don't know why any of the DFs would have inaccurate covers. I didn't watch Demolition Man when I owned it, but Over the Top was in Widescreen.

Warner's double features carry over all the bonuses.

Actually I just bought two of these -- the Friday the 13th parts 1 and 2 was, as you say, two movies on one disc, no features at all. But the Kiss the Girls/The Gift is actually two discs, with the special features on The Gift (Kiss the Girls only has the trailer).

Are both Friday the 13th movies on one side of the disc or is it a flipper?

I feel the same way for the most part. The only time I waver from that is when they're all part of the same movie franchise or it's an original version packaged with a remake or something.

They're great rentals. If you're a compelnist like me who wants all-out SEs, then I but them, but for stuff that carries over the extras, it's a great twofer.

Weird. But that double feature annoys me -- why isn't it Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider? Argh...

Yeah, that would be a great pairing. I bought the set for The Gift (I'm a Raimi fan) and because it was a good price, but I will probably watch Kiss the Girls eventually.

Couldn't they have just repackaged the first disc in the Crystal Lake to Manhattan set? It seems like that would have been cheaper than re-authoring a new disc.

I do not like the double feature dvd's at all as I like my movies to have their own disc and not share a disc with another movie. I only have 1 movie that has 2 movies on both sides of the same disc and that is the Arnold Swarchenegger movie collection that has 'Twins, Kindergarden Cop, & Junior'. But I only bought that because I've been wanting Kindergarden Cop in widescreen for a long time and can never get it in WS by itself.

Anyone own this one?





Does it have the Special Features found on the Special Collector's Editions of these?
Are they on separate discs and how are they housed? (Digipack or thinpacks)

Wal-Mart has it for $15, so I'm tempted but I want to learn about it first.

This should be the existing 3 discs with all bonus features, ala Paramount's Beverly Hills Cop triple feature.

Well, that's how it is in the set, both movies on one single-sided disc, so...I think they did.

Just bought the Jack Ryan Triple Feature.

Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger are the Special Collector's Editions. Patriot Games is the old release and on the DVD itself has the copyright of 1998.

Even though the slipcase said that the Patriot Games listed interviews and the trailer on the DVD, the DVD only has the trailer.

i saw the friday the 13th 1/2 disc the other day but i'm wondering if part 1 is the first weird cut version (shorter annie death but uncut mrs. voorhees death) or the theatrical r-rated cut as fixed on the box set. could you confirm?

I just saw a Triple-Feature DVD at Wal-Mart with Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider and Double Jeopardy.

That reminds me of the Lethal Weapon Triple Feature. Call me anal, but it annoys me that they don't include the 4th film. Why not do two Double Features or, even better, a Quadruple Feature with 2 films on each disc? It seems weird to pack the first three all together and then just leave off the last one.
