 Deceptive Packaging June 4, 2007
37 out of 38 found this review helpful
I already own both films but purchased this as the case described "Dirty Dozen" as being a 16x9 transfer. It is not. Further, special features are listed for this film that are not actually on the disc. I knew I was in trouble when the film began with the Turner logo. Old transfer. "Kelly's Heroes" IS 16x9 as it was on the single feature release.
In addition, it appears the newly repackaged "How the West Was Won" suffers from the same deceptive packaging by being labeled "enhanced for widescreen TVs" when it is not and is also an old Turner master.
People are bound to complain so it's hard to believe Warner Home Video, previously very reliable, would do this intentionally. Something is defintely wrong in their QC department these days.
 BEWARE OF FALSE ADVERTISING ON PACKAGE January 31, 2008

These are both EXCELLENT movies. However, for some reason (mere incompetence, I'd bet) the dvd's packaging states that The Dirty Dozen is presented in 16x9 (anamorphic) format and also includes audio commentary by cast and crew. This is NOT TRUE--neither of these features exist on the disc. If you're thinking of buying this as an upgrade from your standard single-disc version of Dirty Dozen, don't bother. The DD side of this flipper disc is the same as the budget single-disc, non-anamorphic version that's been available for years.
Warner's should either fix the packaging, or upgrade the content of the disc. SO ANNOYING!
 Twice the action September 15, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The double feature is a good value and plenty of action for any excitement addict. These are two movies with a twist and tongue in cheek. That is until the shooting begins. The action comes fast and furious against the dreaded Germans. One is a treasure hunt and the other a suicide mission. You have to be a little patriotic to care what happens to these misfits. But the plots are agreeable and the acting passable. It takes a leap of faith to think these things could really happen. But once you suspend disbelief you can sit back and enjoy yourself. From the grit to the graft you get every possible angle in this double feature. If you are a war buff this is a good addition to your collection.
Great Movies Second Rate Sales Gimmick August 27, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Both of these movies are great, fun and classics. I have no problem with either. They still hold up as good movies. I agree with the other reviewer who made comments about the packaging and the 'double feature' sales gimmick. It is a good idea. Two great old movies back to back for a modest price. When I saw the Turner Classic opening for Dirty Dozen I thought, "what did they do? Just copy this off of TV?"
The movies rock? The double feature concept is cool. Just wish they would have put a little more into it and gave us something extra like a 'making of' or maybe some new interviews.

I like the movies, but the DVD skip on both movies, the soundtrack was
on and off at times. I hope the rest is ok.
