Michael J. Fox Comedy Favorites Collection 4 Films ADDED

[Paul_Rudoff]

I will be providing all of the data for the four films (on three discs) in the Michael J. Fox Comedy Favorites Collection.

Before I begin, a few corrections need to be made to releases you already have listed for two of the movies in the set:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greedy (1994)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=34377

The "R1 America - Universal Pictures" release also has these text-based extras: Production Notes, Cast & Filmmakers.

I screencapped them, which you can see in this Facebook gallery:

This is important to note because the same movie in the Collection set doesn't have those text-based extras.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Secret of My Success (The) (1987)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=892

The "R1 America - Universal Pictures" INCORRECTLY states that that disc is available in the Michael J Fox Collection. It's not. The Collection has a completely different disc with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and two trailers.

It would be good to get this updated first, so there is no confusion when you add the details for the Collection set.

Okay, now onto details for the Michael J. Fox Comedy Favorites Collection DVD set...


CASE NOTE: I described, to the best of my ability, the case my copy comes in - 3-Page Digibook in Side-Load Slipsleeve - which can be seen here:

The set has also been re-released in a standard 3-disc Amaray plastic case:

Greedy (1994)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=34377

The "R1 America - Universal Pictures" release also has these text-based extras: Production Notes, Cast & Filmmakers.

If you still have this single-disc DVD, could you tell us the runtime for the trailer?

CASE NOTE: I described, to the best of my ability, the case my copy comes in - 3-Page Digibook in Side-Load Slipsleeve - which can be seen here:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/W5UAAOSw ... -l1600.jpg

For the Digibook, how many pages is the book inside? The picture doesn't seem to show the book portion.

[Paul_Rudoff]

On the Greedy individual/single-disc release, the Trailer runtime is 1:59. My copy also has an insert booklet with photos and a chapter list inside. Universal may have stopped including it in later print runs, as all of the studios seemed to do that with inserts included with early DVD releases. (This DVD came out in 1998, according to the fine print copyright text.)

Before selling the individual DVD, I'll scan in the booklet for my own collection as it's fairly nice for what it is. Nothing fancy, but I do miss the days of the studios including little "extras" like this :-) I can post the scan here, if you want to see the booklet.

Anyway... the Michael J. Fox Collection Digibook has three pages, one for each disc. Here's a bunch of photos of the Digibook from eBay, but they would be the exact same ones I would take of my own set:

I hope this helps.

So the left side with the movies info, that is the attached booklet?

[Ain_Uussaar]

From pictures it looks like this is a digipack and not a digibook.

[Paul_Rudoff]

> So the left side with the movies info, that is the attached booklet?

Yes. It's one paperboard "case" with the plastic pages glued inside it on the spine, thus making a "book". You flip each plastic "page" to get to each disc. The whole thing slips into an outer side-load sleeve.

Of course, looking at eBay listings, it seems that they changed it to a standard 3-disc plastic case for later pressings.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

I finally found an unboxing video and it is definitely NOT a Digibook case as there is no booklet attached. It’s just a Digipack case in a slipcase and I will label it that later.

Thanks for the info, but to let you know there is a physical book in a Digibook case.

And now added and updated!
