Dont know about the rest of you who have this set, I had a tough time getting Disc 5 out. I thought I was going to snap it in half.

Watched the New Retrospective. 30 Mins. Some of it seems rehashed from The Never Sleep agian doco. Cant be sure though, I only watched it once over a year ago but some of that looks familiar. Its a decent doco though.

Now all you need is Never Sleep Again on BD and your all good It was mentioned to be released ages ago, so far no go. Maybe it will come out soon?

[LordCrumb]

Thanks for this info, will come in handy when deciding to purchase or not. I take it the discs have to be BD50?

[Black13teen]

I have just skipped through all the movies. I would like to take my second post back now.

Good advice to the rest of you, this set is shit. I wouldnt buy it if I where you. When you see it instore, look the other way. Pretend its not there. Its that bad. There has been no effort put into these. You will be dissapointed. Id give the PQs 2/5 and Im being nice. I cant see myself even sitting through them even once but Ill try. And I like these series. Im so lost for words right now, really. Sad.

At the end of the day, its not worth $70. Buy your mothers/in-laws flowers instead.

[Supernaut]

Sad, but I guess inevitable when you try and shoehorn two movies + bonus features onto a single disc.

[Black13teen]

Yeah, I know. I honestly thought it would be a little better. dark PQ, wobbles, grain thats frozen.

Im interested in others opinions who buy this.

Does anyone know if these are the uncut versions (1 & 5) we first got on the CBS/FOX VHS tapes back in the 80's or the cut theatrical versions we got on DVD from Roadshow/New Line Cinema?

[Blu Ray Cyrus]

Looking forward to purchasing this (some time this week)

Now just gotta wait for a Friday the 13th collection to come out

I have been lurking on this site for quite a while and finally decided to become a member...based solely on the fact that I purchased the Australian "A Nightmare On Elm Street Collection" today.

I own the original US DVD boxset (bought it before I even owned a DVD player), the 2 "half" Australian boxsets, the video's, the various DVD versions of the original film from the US and Australia, the US Blu Ray of the original and the recent US Warner release of part's 2 & 3.

Anyway...I finally sat down and skipped through the Australian Blu Ray set.

Parts 1, 2 & 3 were what I had already seen on the individual releases.

I know this has already been stated by others but Part 4 is just too dark. It takes away from the wonderful colour palette the film had on both its theatrical and DVD release. Freddy gets lost in the shadows even though he was deliberately brought out of them for that film...this was the beginning of the disappointment.

Part 5 looks very similar to the DVD release but it is the version that suffered cuts from the MPAA during Dan's bike scene and Greta's death scene.

I have the Australian VHS release of part 5 and those edited scenes are intact....another disappointment from the Blu Ray set.

...but here's the bit that bothered me most...

Part 6 doesn't include the 3D ending.

Why not?

It was on the DVD release.

If this was a true "collection" it would include this version.

After all, the main character wears 3D glasses during the finale of Part 6...and we are meant to be part of her journey.

I was utterly dumbfounded by this omission.

"New Nightmare" looks ok, but overall, I would have to say that this boxset is a major disappointment.

The picture quality on the latter sequels looks average at best...a minor step up from the DVD's.

We can all argue about Warner not being concerned about quality blah blah, grab for cash yada yada...but I would seriously warn others to think twice about this purchase.

I won't be returning the boxset...I really just can't be bothered and being a completist, I'll just add it to the collection...but I do hope that in years to come, someone actually gets around to releasing definitive versions of these films.

Does anyone here know if the Japanese Elm Street box includes the uncut version of the fifth movie?

Ok, thanks... I guess I'll pass on this box set and stick with my current uncut dvd collection.

Since I bought this one cheap myself I thought I'd also add that Elm St Part 1 is the DVD R-Rated cut not the unrated version that made it to VHS and Laserdisc. I can't see why New Line just don't release these things uncut. They elements have been released before on home video, so it's not like they're lost to the ages.

JB HiFi have this mark down from $30 to $25. at the moment for the Nightmare On Elm ST Collection.

Not sure if this is still worth getting considering all these versions are not the original uncut, uncensored version. Although this will probably be the only version were ever likely to see. Considering its been 3 years since it was released.

[g12345567]

JB HiFi have the Nightmare On Elm Street Collection marked down from $24.98 to $19.98 at the moment during there 20% off sale. Cheapest its ever been so far for this set.
