Jess Franco - Anchor Bay DVD box sets
Runtime corrections, plus a few other corrections.
Below are the PAL runtimes, along with the 24fps equivalent runtimes, in case anyone is interested.
I have included runtimes for all of them, but only some need correcting, or adding if they are not yet included.
If the difference is only 1 or 2 seconds, I have assumed the existing database runtimes are correct.

Jess Franco Collection Vol. 1 :
Barbed Wire Dolls (Frauengefängnis) (1976) - runtime 76:58 PAL equivalent to 80:10 (already correct)
Jack the Ripper (Jack the Ripper - Der Dirnenmörder von London) (1976) runtime 88:15 PAL equivalent to 91:56 (already correct)
- but Aspect Ratio needs correcting to 1.78:1
Ilsa, the Wicked Warden (Greta - Haus ohne Männer) (1977) - runtime 88:00 PAL equivalent to 91:40 (needs adding)
Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun (Die Liebesbriefe einer portugiesischen Nonne) (1977) - runtime 79:39 PAL equivalent to 82:58 (needs adding)
- also trailer runtime is 2:38
Blue Rita (Das Frauenhaus) (1977) - runtime 75:17 PAL equivalent to 78:25 (needs adding)
Sexy Sisters (Die Teuflischen Schwestern) (1977) - runtime 82:06 PAL equivalent to 85:31 (already correct)

Jess Franco Collection Vol. 2 :
Down Town (Downtown - Die nackten Puppen der Unterwelt) (1975) - runtime 81:50 PAL equivalent to 85:15 (needs correcting)
(This is likely a cut version, as the equivalent runtime is substantially shorter than the Blu-ray release (86:34). However I do not have details. I do own both, but comparing them would be difficult and time consuming.)
The Inconfessable Orgies of Emmanuelle (Las orgías inconfesables de Emmanuelle) (1982) - runtime 83:00 PAL equivalent to 86:28 (needs correcting)
Mansion of the Living Dead (La mansión de los muertos vivientes) (1982) - runtime 89:04 PAL equivalent to 92:47 (needs correcting)
Macumba Sexual (1983) - runtime 77:01 PAL equivalent to 80:14 (needs correcting)

Re: Jess Franco - Anchor Bay DVD box sets FAO Darrel
To keep things straightforward, I have decided to provide full specs for each movie.
---
Notes regarding the information below:
1. There are quite a lot of corrections to be made, e.g. soundtrack, extras, notes, typos. So it might be easier to just replace everything.
2. Some of the information, especially the "Notes" sections and the details regarding BBFC cuts, I have essentially copied what was already there, with a bit of tidying up to make things more consistent across the different movies.
3. On the discs of Vol. 1, there is just one menu for "Cast & Crew Biographies and Filmographies", not a separate one for "Cast & Crew Filmographies", but I have separated them myself, to make it clear which people have no Biography, just a Filmography.
4. I am currently unable to check the region coding of DVDs, so I have used the regions already in the database.
5. Each box set consists of Slimline Keep Cases housed in a Slipbox. I don't know about the individual releases, but my guess is that they are in regular Keep Cases.
6. This is quite a lot of data to update, so if you have any questions before you proceed, please ask!

Notes: *The only English subtitles are a translation of the German soundtrack. They can be selected with the English soundtrack, but do not match it.
The "Behind-the-Scenes" featurette is slightly different to the versions that appear on some other movies in this series. It is missing opening logos (0:09), but at the end it includes a short clip of "Jack the Ripper" with some extra narration plus some closing logos (0:29), hence the overall extra runtime (0:20).
Case cover incorrectly states that a deleted scene is included.

1. There are quite a lot of corrections to be made, e.g. soundtrack, extras, notes, typos. So it might be easier to just replace everything.
2. Some of the information, especially the "Notes" sections and the details regarding BBFC cuts, I have essentially copied what was already there, with a bit of tidying up to make things more consistent across the different movies.
3. On the discs of Vol. 1, there is just one menu for "Cast & Crew Biographies and Filmographies", not a separate one for "Cast & Crew Filmographies", but I have separated them myself, to make it clear which people have no Biography, just a Filmography.
4. I am currently unable to check the region coding of DVDs, so I have used the regions already in the database.
5. Each box set consists of Slimline Keep Cases housed in a Slipbox. I don't know about the individual releases, but my guess is that they are in regular Keep Cases.
6. This is quite a lot of data to update, so if you have any questions before you proceed, please ask!

Notes: *The only English subtitles are a translation of the German soundtrack. They can be selected with the English soundtrack, but do not match it.
The "Behind-the-Scenes" featurette is slightly different to the versions that appear on some other movies in this series. It is missing opening logos (0:09), but at the end it includes a short clip of "Jack the Ripper" with some extra narration plus some closing logos (0:29), hence the overall extra runtime (0:20).
Case cover incorrectly states that a deleted scene is included.

(N.B. In the above notes, I have removed "Said to have poor picture quality", as the picture quality is reasonable. It is not as good as the other titles in the set, but considerably better than VHS, perhaps closer to broadcast quality analog tape, and is relatively free of dirt and scratches.)

Re: Jess Franco - Anchor Bay DVD box sets UDATED
Sorry, I accidentally wrote the wrong runtime for:
Downtown Heat AKA Ciudad Baja
(probably because the PAL and 24fps equivalent runtimes are anagrams of each other)
I have edited my previous post to correct it. It should be:
runtime: 94:28
