Sadly, but not surprisingly, no features were included. The movies themselves are spread out across 3 discs and are housed in a standard Blu-ray case with two of the discs stacked.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5, AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Each film are presented with 16×9 enhanced widescreen and although quality does vary depending on the film\u2019s age, for the most part these do look fine with sharp detail and bright colors. The audio ranges from Dolby Digital Stereo to 5.1 tracks, some stronger than others (Stealth<\/em> especially impressed, shame the movie was crap).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The 9 Lives Movie Collection<\/em><\/strong> is the usual cheap release put out by Mill Creek mostly recycling Sony movies they have the rights for and probably were part of a collection in the past (heck, S.W.A.T.<\/em> got a \u201cSpecial Edition\u201d release not long ago). Considering the movies here, you\u2019re really not getting high quality work but some entertaining flicks mixed in with some bad ones (Stealth<\/em> stands out the most).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
