I have to fundamentally agree with the other review – the absolute bare-bones quality of this disc is a huge disappointment, and anyone placing this against any of the earlier entries in either the original “Welcome to the Grindhouse” double features or the newer “Exploitation Cinema” releases is in for a big disappointment.

In addition to a lack of trailers or option to play the films back to back, there is virtually no restoration at all on these prints, so you get films (especially Superargo) with severe vinegar effects (washing out of color and reddening of blacks) making the print quality about on par with a dollar store title, or something from videoasia. That makes a sad contrast to the great restoration done (primarily to the Crown Films library) when the series was young, and just seems like a “we-don’t-care” attitude on the part of Code Red. Even the menu system is different, and believe me when I say it resembles dollar store junk as much as the print quality and lack of restoration of these films.

I own every other disc in this series, as well as the aforementioned Grindhouse series, so I have a measure to go by. I will not be buying these new in the future based on the shoddy quality of this one, maybe used copies, but not new ones, as they are no longer worth the modest price if they are virtually slapped together with no effort to present them well or restore the source prints.

Lastly, the ‘comedy commentary” by Cinema Head Cheese is a complete waste of an audio track. Compare that to Bobby Bresee doing commentary for Mausoleum earlier in the series – here we get just some ordinary guys with absolutely no connection to the picture trying to crack lame jokes without giving any insight into the movie at all. Utterly stupid, and another reason to pass on this one. It’s too bad, as I loved this series, but it really has hit the skids. We know these were marginal pictures to begin with – we don’t need smarmy comments and lack of print restoration to remind us.

I’m a fan of these series of films. This review is not about the films.

The DVD is a disappointment because they have done away with the Grindhouse Double feature format, perhaps the main reason I’ve been buying these DVDs. It’s great to play a double feature with commercials in front and in the middle of the movies.

Unfortunately, this DVD only allows you to play each movie separate and has a trailer for Wacky Taxi as a separate feature. Considering this is probably the last in this series the company will release(along with Lonely Wives/Sorry Wrong Bedroom Double feature which I haven’t watched yet, but I assume its got the same issue) its a huge disappointment.

This series isn’t a huge seller and they probably won’t continue selling them. But doing away with the play all double feature aspect is probably the death knell for the series. You could just buy these movies separate for a lot cheaper and not be losing anything.

Poor DVD production. This is clearly the Death of this series. I regret buying this despite the obscure movies i got.
