German 4 disc box set (3 Blu-ray, 1 DVD + extras)

- Incredible, a ton of stuff inside for the German fans ...

Why is Germany the only country to bring out such a royally pimped edition? And the answer to that apparently has to do with the German tradition of dubbing all films in German. The distributor went to extreme lengths to get the original 1980 German voice cast re-assembled to provide sound for the newer 15 minutes, and while they were at at they obviously thought: "If we're going to do this, we might as well go for broke." This edition was released in September 2016, promptly sold out, and can now only be found for inflated prices, still rising as we speak.

Lots of stuff plus BB2000 and "The Best of the Blues Brothers" not too shabby.

Thanks! So it's the movie, plus movie extended version, and BB2000 on the Blu-ray discs , and 'The Best of the Blues Brothers' is the DVD. I'm still impressed at all the stuff they put together for this box set ...

A small and innovative German DVD production company, Turbine Media, put it all together and released it last September.
They had a big DVD-Box release party during the "Cinestrange Filmfestival" in Braunschweig, Germany, on Sept. 9, 2016.
John Landis and his wife, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, were there, too. 
So of course I jumped in my Bluesmobile and drove down there from Hamburg (300 miles roundtrip, full tank of gas, cigarettes, sunglasses).
When I got out of the car in front of the venue in Braunschweig and slammed the door shut, the mirror fell off. 😎
The whole thing was a blast. See for yourselves.
