Lionsgate Double Features

Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release a number of popular titles in new double feature sets. Due on February 13th, 2007 are 10.5/Day of Destruction, Belly/Cuaght Up, Black Mask/New Police Story, Kids/The Rules of Attraction, Monster's Ball/O, The Punisher/First Blood, Reservoir Dogs/Bad Lieutenant, Saw (Uncut)/Frailty, Total Recall/Terminator 2, Van Wilder/Made, Young Guns/The Last Days of Frank & Jesse James and Conan O'Brien: 10th Anniversary Special/The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Each set features the films with the same transfers and bonus features available in their separate incarnations (except for T2 and Reservoir Dogs which have truncated extras due to space). Retail is $14.98 each.

Hmmm, the O/Monster's Ball and Saw/Frailty sets look good. Kids/Rules of Attraction set would be great if the latter wasn't the cut R-rated version and non-anamorphic. Black Mask I presume is the same dub only junk.

The T2 release I presume is just the first disc of the Extreme edition? If so then good, I haven't picked up Total Recall yet and I'd like to own the Cameron commentary (the rest of the extras sound like fluff). A cheap complement to my UE.

If it's the R rated cut then it's cut in the USA.

I've confirmed this myself and the R rated cut is a few seconds shorter. It's a fantastic film though but make sure you're getting the Unrated SE if you go American.

IF T2 is the Extreme Edition (Disc 2 is rubbish anyway) I'll pick that one up but not otherwise. The rest don't interest me.

p.s - Thanks btw.

According to Amazon, the double bill features the "Signature Series" edition, which has the Unrated Cut according to Rewind. Hopefully the Amazon info is accurate.
