Police Academy Complete Collection - November 11 - Blu-ray Forum

The Apocalypse · 09-20-2013, 11:04 AM

Well, the series you've all been waiting for is now available to pre-order

November 11, 2013

Definitely gonna pick this up at some point. Say what you will, but IMO every movie until 7 was great.

Albatross365 · 09-20-2013, 11:24 AM

Died after number 2 imo

Ill_Be_Back · 09-20-2013, 11:29 AM

I will be getting this but not for that price!

Agreed, I'm kinda shocked at it actually.

Trigger89 · 09-20-2013, 11:59 AM

I'm on the fence with this one. The films gradually got worse as they went on.

IndyMLVC · 09-20-2013, 12:08 PM

I'm more shocked at that artwork. It's AWFUL.

It's diabolical, yep.

Anyhoo, I've got the German 1 + 2 double feature BD and the UK DVD boxset of all the movies, cost me something like £20 altogether, so until the complete Blu-ray set reaches that sort of price (and it will, it's Warners) I won't go near it.

indisposed · 09-20-2013, 01:34 PM

Ahhh... it all got a bit pointless after "The Gutte" left.

That artwork is beyond lazy! The price is ridiculous, too, but not surprising ; I remember the DVD Box Set costing £70 odd when it was originally released!

The Apocalypse · 09-20-2013, 01:38 PM

I too will wait. At that price, no way. I think Assignment Miami Beach (5) is the best sequel, I loved it.

DetroitSportsFan · 09-20-2013, 01:43 PM

I'll wait for the US release, which will have a better price and artwork.

Naiera · 09-20-2013, 03:39 PM

I don't see how less than a tenner per movie, at release, is so terrible. The price'll fall and it's not like these are the best movies ever anyway, so we can wait a bit, I should think

I think this is something that will go down to under £20. I'll wait for £17.99!

They have probably given it the two films a disc treatment, aswell ; a la A Nightmare on Elm Street... so it really should be cheaper than it's price.

The price is stupid along with the artwork, wonder if Warner will bother to provide decent transfers?

They can put each Police Academy release on its own disc but failed to do that with the Friday 13th collection this company really don't have a f**king clue

If I remember correctly, part 4 was released on DVD as full screen. I hope they don't do that for the blu ray release.

They probably didn't care about Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, because those films aren't really part of their legacy... though to be honest, I can't really say the same thing about the Police Academy series, either, at least not with a straight face.

There were a lot of DVDs that Warner released as full screen because they were shot open matte but were anamorphic on blu (Spies Like Us being a good example). IIRC, two of the Police Academies came out on full screen DVD but I'm 100 percent sure they will be anamorphic widescreen on blu.

Sodslaw · 09-20-2013, 05:43 PM

That has to be hands down the absolute worst artwork for a blu ray release that I have ever seen.
Considering the majority of the films had posters by Drew Struzan they choose this,I can't believe it.
As always the price is just silly also,give it a few months and it will get more reasonable,then I can get cover work more suitable.
