I can't. The contents are a disc from a 6-year-old release. How could there have been that many of the old versions of Superman III lying around like, right next to the new ones, that they not only stamped a new label on the old disc, but actually put it in the box set? It's pretty ridiculous. It's obvious that WB has little to no quality control. My friend said that on the Willy Wonka remake 2-Disc edition, one of the Oompa Loompa songs is missing a verse. Yet another WB slip-up among many...

Actually, allow me to rephrase that.

I don't understand how someone could've made the mistake so easily but I do understand why it happenned. No, they didn't just accidentally take unsold, unshipped copies of the old dvd and print out new disc art. What happenned was that when it came time to program the machines that would press the discs for the 14-disc set, whoever was in charge must have accidentally retrieved the wrong SIII file from WB's computer systems, thinking it was the new SIII disc when it was actually the old one. Whoever was in charge of the individual release, which is exactly what's also found in the 8 disc "Christopher Reeve" collection, did not make this mistake.

On a more Star Wars-related note, I remember people saying that the SE copies found in the '06 release were just overstocks from '04 and '05, but if that's true then why go through the trouble of printing new disc art labels for them?
