Full Moon Pictures "Trancers - 3 DVD Set" ADDED

[Paul_Rudoff]

INTRODUCTION

I'm submitting the info for the three movies included in the Full Moon Pictures "Trancers - 3 DVD Set" release, which is (presumably) a repackaging of three discs that are available separately. I've added the item numbers from the face of the discs (printed under the Full Moon logo), in case it helps confirm these are the same as individual releases. Copyright info on the back has this as a 2013 release that comes directly from Full Moon Pictures (http://www.fullmoondirect.com).

All of the individual DVDs are listed, and I suspect that those discs are what's in this set:

Echo Bridge also released these three movies separately. I have their Trancers II DVD, so I included the info for that one at the end.

TRANCERS 1
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=2540

Title: Trancers (1984)
Country: USA
Region: 0 (All)

PAL or NTSC?: NTSC
Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo

Extras:

NOTES:
Like every Trancers DVD before it, includes the now infamous "side-change" blackness at 39:33 (in the middle of the club scene right when the punks walk in), as seen in this video:

Original source was a double-sided laserdisc, so the video abruptly goes to black midway through the movie and then fades back in. This is where the original DVD team had to flip over the laserdisc to continue the movie. This DVD, however, doesn't have the Vestron Video "End of Side 2" screen at the end of the movie, as has been reported with other DVDs:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R2W6O061ZDA9XK/

On this DVD from Full Moon, the closing credits now feature the trailer for "Trancers II" superimposed in a window in the upper-middle of the screen as the credits roll. Obviously, this was not in the movie when it was originally released in 1984. Trancers 2 and 3 are not altered in this manner and feature their original closing credits.

Thanks. Added the 3-DVD release, although I could not find an Amazon link for this, or for the "Murder Machines" set.

[Paul_Rudoff]

I was actually more surprised that Full Moon didn't have the set on their site, like they do for the Murder Machines set.

It does seem odd that Amazon didn't have it, either, since just about *everything* gets listed there - usually added by a third-party seller.

Anyway, the "Trancers - 3 DVD Set" is included in this eBay listing:
