This cheapy DVD collection has been mastered from 16mm reduction prints and is a direct reissue of the Dollar Entertainment edition noted above — right down to the duplicated UPC number. I guess that the Dollar Entertainment company name sounded a little too cheap for the marketplace.
The films are likely accompanied by soundtracks of preexisting music recordings
