I know these packs are usually bad news, but this is one which is actually worth picking up. The quality isn't perfect, but you probably wouldn't be able to find most of these films in better quality anyway.

HELL YEAH!

I need that set!

Here's a few screen caps. A few of the movies are loud VHS transfers but most of them look pretty good considering.

Those movies probably haven't looked good since they were made.

We're lucky they even exist today, all things considered.

I have to say that that is the set to get when it comes to the selection of films.

I've been dying to get my mitts on a copy of CHAINED FOR LIFE (among some of the others)for years.

TERROR OF TINY TOWN!!!111

Yeah exactly. Some of the scenes in most of the movies are so overexposed it's unbelievable, but the rest of the film would be absolutely fine... so a lot of it as you said has to do with the fact these films have never looked good.

I love those box sets, I've got three myself. Looks like I might need a fourth!

I am actually really excited to read this! I wonder where I can find my own set

Managed to pick one of these up for just under £10 with free p+p... better start watching 'em.
