What a Great Collection - Filled With Extras
I was originally looking to only replace one DVD movie. However when I went looking on Amazon I saw that the collection was on a Timed Deal on Amazon. It had an extreme price cut and I could not pass it up. However even at the higher price it appears to be a value balancing both the content and price per disk in the set. I believe it to be worth the investment so as one would say the buy is not just a "Roll in the Hay" (pardon the Pun). Here is the low down on the collection: 1) The Box and Packaging of the disks is very good. Includes a cover box and a plastic multi-disk case. (The disks did not shift out of their spot in shipping) Disks also go in and out of the case easily. The Silk Screening on the Box Art is well done. Great selection of Cover Art which is a picture of Mel Brooks as a "Director". 2) You receive quite a number of movies for the price. Silk Screening on the disks is clean and crisp. 3) The picture quality is better than DVD, but maybe not as good as I have seen with other box sets. But not to worry they do make good use of the extra room on the Blu-Ray with Extras. 4) I was impressed with the number of extras that were included, an Example of this is: In Young Frankenstein you get additional out-takes, interviews, bloopers, deleted Scenes, etc. 5) I would recommend exploring the extras - they are fun to watch and also give you some insight into the creative process and at times a bigger picture of the story. (I.E. in Young Frankenstein you get to view, as part of the deleted scenes, the reading of the Baron's Will) 6) Includes Trivia Tracks which are fun to play. 7) Downside is it does not contain all of his movies. It would be Nice to have a Volume 2 or 3 which would eventually bring all the features together under one consistently produced collection. 8) Makes a great gift! I would recommend the collection. So start trading in your DVDs. This Collection Includes the Following 9 Titles on a set of Blu-Ray Disks: Blazing Saddles Spaceballs Young Frankenstein High Anxiety History of the World Part 1 Robin Hood: Men in Tights Silent Movie To Be or Not To Be The Twelve Chairs Blazing Saddles Extras Include: New Featurettes: Trivia Games Isolated Score Tracks Deleted Scenes Gag Reels Commentaries Interviews Documentaries Still Galleries
