Today I received my copy of the three disc blu-ray set of Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux.

The two versions of the film are both on the first disc, the second disc contains extras and the third disc contains the documentary Hearts of Darkness and some other extras.

Now my question is if this counts as a box set.
If it contained only the first two discs according to the rules it would not, but does the contents of the third disc makes me doubtful.

This one can go one of two ways, though definitely not a Box Set.

  • Bonus Feature Film - because it did have it's own release...though on TV.

  • Featurette - because it is "video documentary material regarding the film."


  • I am leaning towards Bonus Feature Film myself.

    There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
    Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

    That depends on one decision:
    Do you count "Hearts of Darkness" as Feature or a Featurette.

    Since it has full feature length (96 min.) I don't see how any harm would be done if you entered it as child profile.

    So (for me) the correct way would be:

    Parent Profile:
    With all three disks in the disks-section (as usual)

    Child Profile:
    Disk Three

    Establish the profile according to the "Bonus Feature"-rules.
    It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
