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.
They also now have a Steven Seagal 2 disc set with:
Under Siege/Fire Down Below/Above the Law/The Glimmer Man

• Under Seige / Under Seige 2: Dark Territory / Exit Wounds
The Seagal takes on Billy Jack (and Lethal Weapon):

The problem with some of these double features is that the bonus features were on the flipside of a single disc double-sided, like Lethal Weapon 4. You lose a long doc and trailers by buying the quadruple feature.
Worse, I bought The Fugitive/U.S. Marshals and it seems I have been screwed in this way: the packaging lists 2 featurettes and a trailer that don't appear to be present. If anyone else has this disc and HAS the featurettes please tell me so I can go exchange it or something.

Still, when I'm getting 2-3 movies for these prices, I'm expecting them to be budget movies. If I was interested enough in the special features, I wouldn't have waited for them to be so cheap in the first place. But I guess that's just me.

This ONLY refers to the version in the John Candy Comedy Favorites Collection and NOT any stand-alone edition of The Great Outdoors.

Re: Anyone else lovin' the new Double-Feature discs?
i don't mind the ones that come on separate discs but i really am not liking the ones that put the movies onto one disc.
i know mr. nice guy/jackie chan first strike are on 1 disc,
action double feature rumble in the bronx/the corruptor on 1 disc,
don't know how they did it action 4 pack the octagon, a force of one, exit speed, garrison all on 1 dvd.
also kinda didn't like the ernest goes to camp,scared stupid, goes to jail triple feature because of the packaging more then anything. they put the 2 movies on 1 disc and the 3rd on the 2nd and then put the discs into paper sleeves. paper is one of the worst things to put a disc in i think. going to try and see if 2 slim cd cases will fit in the big case they came in.
guess why i don't like them on 1 disc is because they cut stuff out to do it and it might not be as good quality.
jsut noticed how old this is. sorry.

Re: Anyone else lovin' the new Double-Feature discs?
I recently bought the recently released Echo Bridge double feature of The Faculty/Phantoms.
Both of which are listed as being in Widescreen.
Only Phantoms is widescreen, The Faculty is Full Screen.
So buyer beware of these Echo Bridge Miramax double features.
