The Mel Brooks Collection Blu-ray Review

truffleshuffle83 · 12-15-2009, 12:30 AM

I have it preordered in the 70's but I'm not sure I'll still buy. The package is just too much. I guess I could always make custom covers. I'll wait for reviews before keeping. I'm also hoping blazing saddles is a different encode with lossless audio

The packaging is interesting. But the price of the whole collection is so damn steep.

I already have Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs, and I'm not that familiar with High Anxiety, Silent Movie, To be or Twelve Chairs... But I do want Robin Hood, Young Frankenstein and History Of the World... badly!

I doubt it. His best movies IMO are Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, and Young Frankenstein and I already have all of those. I think I'll pass on this set.

I already own some of the movies, and it does not make sense for me to buy the entire collection. I am sure that they will be available for individual sale in a few months.

This is where I am, with those 3 exact movies. Nothing else really does it for me...

vegeta88 · 12-15-2009, 03:11 AM

I have the 3 already released; though, I would want Robin Hood and History Of the World Part 1 (would have been awesome if he made a sequel).

RazorFromHRSnet · 12-15-2009, 04:48 PM

High Anxiety is awesome.

P@t_Mtl · 12-15-2009, 04:49 PM

I will wait for indiviual releases

My local Best Buy had this on the shelf last week...if I remember right it was marked $102.99...pretty steep

paulsandhu · 12-15-2009, 05:12 PM

I'm going to wait till it goes down in price like the Planet of the Apes set did after 6 months.

Fighter · 12-15-2009, 05:21 PM

nah

After this and Planet of the Apes, I'm extremely frightened Fox is going to utilize similar packaging on the Alien Tetralogy release next year instead of something sleek and compact.

bluskies · 12-15-2009, 06:45 PM

I was in Costco on Sunday and they were already selling it ($89.99).

I pre-ordered it from Amazon for $76, and it is on its way to me. I agree the price seems high, but when remembers there are 9 movies in it it works out to about $8.50 each.

I sold my Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles Blus, plus sold my DVD version of the set and put the money towards this new set.

KingLeonidas300 · 12-15-2009, 06:47 PM

This is a pass for me..

Duckie25 · 12-16-2009, 12:55 AM

I'm tempted to pick it up, but even if I did I would dislike having the huge box set on my shelf. If I found some custom covers and put all the discs in separate cases then I would be cool with it

Freekman · 12-16-2009, 01:18 AM

I was thinking about it, but then I looked at the price...
