Report this post		With two films on one disc and the other on a DVD-5, I think you can pretty much forget extras guys....

Report this post		Yeah, I like the cover art. And they're not trying to make out it's some kind of definitive edition, just a cheap & cheerful way of getting all 3 films.

But they should really have given Darkman its own DVD9 - with extras - and put both sequels on a second disc.

Report this post		I would love to hear a Sam Raimi commentary. A good commentary track is sometimes the only thing you need.

But it's strange they opt to have both Darkman I & II on the same disc instead of having the sequels together on one disc.

The TV movies were okay, though it's been a long time since I've seen them. Darkman I is the best of them all, I still think the movie could have been better.
