Agreed and i finally finished checking out the Big Guns collection last Sunday with BG and ES maintaining the best PQ imo. However, TVP's anamorphic transfer is definitely inferior to that found on Vipco's old non-16x9 DVD. Yep, you read that right! BG was the best film in the set for me and these Pop Flix compilations are well worth buying considering the princely prices they go for.

Yours truly also looked at the same label's Dead Or Alive spagwest set recently and this release is another winner. However, although the PQ on Black Killer was good, please be warned my copy has an all-too noticable visual flaw in that whenever a character walks around onscreen they do so with an awful stilted, 'jerky' sorta motion that made the movie unwatchable imo. Whether i have a defective disc or there's some kinda encoding error evident i'm not too sure. The other films in the compilation were all fine.

Next up, the Crime Boss collection and i hope to start scrutinising this set over the weekend.

I read the first dvd cover as "BIGGUNS" and thought it was a Russ Meyer set
