best edition of Reefer Madness? (1 Viewer)

[Josh Steinberg]

OK, first off, the DVD is going to be a gift for someone else. Just felt I had to get that out of the way.

I noticed there are a couple different editions of Reefer Madness out there by different PD companies... does anyone have any opinions on which release is best, or are they all about the same?

I would wait for this one if I were you: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd

It's from Fox and it's supposed to have some good extras. I think the DVD comes with the original B&W feature and a new colorized version too.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Yeah the colorized version is a simulation of watching the black & white copy after a few bummers......

 

[Josh Steinberg]

That's ummm... interesting. If it includes the original b&w version I'll wait for it, but if it only has the colorized version I could care less. I'm not sure that this film is even worth spending the time to make extras for, but to each his own. I wonder what kind of extras they would have for that.

 

[Brandon Conway]

It officially has both the b&w and colorized versions.

One of the bonus features is the short film "Grandpra's Marijuana Handbook".

I'm surprised that nobody thought about contacting Cheech and Chong for audio (or even a MST3K-style) commentary for this one!

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Sold! That's gotta be the best film title ever.

One of the special features of the "Special Addiction" FOX release of Reefer Madness is a full feature commentary by Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000. This is original and uncut specifically for the 4-20 release of the DVD.

Not to be missed!!!

PS: The black and white and colorized versions are all fully restored in both video and audio. The colorized version is stylized specifically to match the subject matter and is an entertainment in itself!!!

"thought about contacting Cheech and Chong"
Well its to my understanding that Chong is in prison at the moment.

Estevan - I understand that Chong is out now
