Search - Too Cool For School Collection on DVD

I was very disappointed in this dvd set. I have a few of these movies on dvd already but not all of them. I noticed that My Chauffeur is edited and not the entire movie, same with Tomboy. I stopped watching the others after this because I was so bummed by this. Did anyone else notice that these movies have been edited?

A quick packaging review

"The packaging is a keepcase with the discs stored in envelopes. Two movies per side, four movies per disc. I'm not going to bother with a content review but spec-wise, you can expect the following:

The Beach Girls - anamorphic widescreen - 91 minutes
Cavegirl - anamorphic widescreen - 81 minutes
Coach - anamorphic widescreen - 96 minutes
Hunk - anamorphic widescreen - 102 minutes
Jocks - anamorphic widescreen - 91 minutes
Malibu Beach - anamorphic widescreen - 90 minutes
My Chauffeur - fullframe - 97 minutes
My Tutor - anamorphic widescreen - 97 minutes
The Pom Pom Girls - anamorphic widescreen - 85 minutes
Tomboy - anamorphic widescreen - 90 minutes
The Van - fullframe - 89 minutes
Weekend Pass - anamorphic widescreen - 89 minutes

All prints are actually quite clean, minus the digital compression artifacts from stuffing so much on a disc. The Pom Pom Girls starts off pretty scratchy but cleans up after 10 minutes or so. It's easily the worst looking of the bunch.

Only 3 stars due to the completely avoidable compression artifacts. You can't stuff 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound sack."

Great 80's B-movies that are worth the price!

"Although Millcreek distributed this set it is actually worth the cost. The Movies are very clear Full Length copies (not the usual worn out Drive In Theater Print with tons of footage missing.) Basically you are getting the old School Dazed (My Tutor / My Chauffeur / Hunk / Tomboy / Jocks / Weekend Pass / Pom Pom Girls / The Van) box set with 4 additional Crown International films included. The DVDs themselves still come in sleeves as always. but Mill creek spent a few more dollars on their cases to ensure they are not crushed or damaged during the shipping process.

They is some nudity to these films after all most were made in the shadows of films such as Porky's, and Fast Time at Ridgemont High (or at least 7 or 8 of them were) and basically have the same type of subject material.

Now if Millcreek would just distribute decent copies of H.O.T.S., Hollywood Hot Tubs, and a few similar films, I would really be happy."

Pure 80's Gold!

"This 12 movie box set is simply a must for any fan of 80's teen comedies! Packed full of laughter, big hair and bright make-up, guys trying to score and girls who just wanna have fun, this is the ultimate 'feel good' experience for those who don't like movies that make you think too hard. Not every movie is great but there is enough classics on here to justify the couple you may not appreciate so much. If like me you think that they just don't make them like they used to then you need to add this to your collection."
