5.0 out of 5 stars UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED COMIC GENIUS !, July 19 2004
By THE CRITIC "MOVIE MANIAC" (Windsor, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
In my opinion Don Knotts is a comedy legend and his brand of hilarity has always been highly underrated and underappreciated. The "Reluctant Hero Pack" is a steal at Amazon's price and any Don Knotts fan would be happy to own this incredible DVD set. Personally I wouldn't have included "The Love God" in the mix. "How to Frame a Figg" or "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" would have been better suited for this DVD release. As for the movies themselves, the picture is clear and the sound is crisp and I don't ever remember them looking or sounding any better.

I don't care for the disc packaging and I prefer a single movie per disc for better compression. You can buy the "Reluctant Hero Pack" at a fraction of what you would spend for the individual movies and for some fans on a budget this is definitely the way to go; but everybody's taste is different when it comes to movie buying. I have some of the same titles on single discs and there is a slight but noticeable difference in compression and quality.

I am really disappointed that Universal Studios has re-released these movies again and not bothered to include any commentary or interviews with Don Knotts while he is still living. A few words from this comic legend would have been a nice touch from the studio. Overall these four movies are pure fun for the whole family and hopefully they will inspire a new legion of Don Knotts fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Don Knotts value pack, July 6 2004
By Naked Gord (www_nakedgord_da_ru) - See all my reviews
If you're willing to give up nicer packaging and picture discs on these four titles this "Franchise Collection" is an excellent choice. Two discs contain the four Don Knotts movies listed above on "flipper" style discs.

Note though that although owned by Universal like the films in this collection it does not include the excellent "How To Frame a Figg" which will have to be purchused seperate in order to complete your Universal Don Knotts Collection as well as Warner Brothers excellent "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" release which is packed with some of the best and most kitschy special features I've ever seen on a disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bargain with minor snags, July 7 2004
By A Customer
This set is bargain-and-a-half for anyone who grew up watching these silly but charming comedies on Saturday afternoon TV.

For a ridiculously low price, you get 4 films with astonishingly good quality picture and sound (sound is mono but the video transfers are bright, colorful and sharp as a tack). True, they are all on a single "flipper" disc, but for this price it's a small qualm at best.

The only thing I would mention to parents buying these for their children (which I assume many of you are), is the 4th film in this set, "The Sex God", is a PG-13 rated sex comedy made in 1969, and as such is a strange inclusion in a set of movies more-or-less made for children. It's pretty tame by modern standards (and not terribly funny either), but all the same I doubt you'd want your 8-yr old watching it. Still, a killer bargain on films I wanted, but didn't want to spend 20$ apiece for. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars AAArgh!! Packaging!!
If your buying this for the kids, the cardboard slipcase and paper insert may last twenty minutes and the single "flipper" disc is already doomed for failure. Read more
