Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant and other VEI titles at Walmart - Blu-ray Forum

Hey guys, just FYI, I spotted the following VEI titles in my Wally World today, for $9.96/$12.96 each. This was extremely surprising to me, personally, as I knew VEI titles were budget releases, and I had honestly suspected them of using coasters. But lo and behold, I picked up Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant, and it is a pressed BD-25!

But the good news doesn't end there. The back cover is adorable, rife with specification errors and omissions, including a DVD "Region 1 / NTSC" symbol, and an indication of a "4:3 aspect ratio" (!), which is obviously ported from VEI's television DVD jacket art.

VEI has included both English and Spanish 5.1 and 2.0 audio tracks, and even subtitles in both languages, but all the case notes is "English, Spanish Surround 5.1". The back cover does get one thing right, though, the audio tracks are lossy Dolby Digital. It's also got the copy-protection symbol and Blu-ray Disc logo, and the run time of 99 minutes is also essentially correct, so there's that. Also, the entire back cover uses large-print text, which is a nice touch.

Also, this is an Orion Pictures film, and they've kept the original opening logo (which is on the cover art) and theme music, too. How awesome is that?!

Now, the other discs might be different, and I sort of just glanced at them, but I feel like this is a pretty good indicator for the other films.

I think this is really neat. Yes, these are budget releases, and probably, low quality films, but for the price, it's fun to pick one up, especially in Wally World's oasis of DVDs. And kudos to VEI for pressing discs instead of using BD-Rs.

Here are the titles (there is one more I can't remember, but I'm fairly certain I saw four titles):
