BCI Eclipse's Ink & Paint presents the action-packed conclusion to
the quintessential `80s cartoon series, Defenders of the Earth.
Volume 2's snazzy purple slipcover houses four double-sided discs
and one single-sided disc in three slim cases. Each case is lavishly
decorated with one or two of the program's junior stars: Rick, Jedda,
LJ and Kshin. The content on these DVD's is at least as entertaining
as the first half of the collection, if not more so. Here, you'll
find out how Mandrake came to adopt Kshin, see Jedda become The
Phantom, and learn valuable life-lessons about responsibility,
teamwork, good citizenship, and the dangers of drug and alcohol
abuse. Episodes include: "The Gods Awake;" "The Ghost Walks Again;"
"Flash Times Four;" "The Frozen Heart;" "Rick Gordon, One-Man Army;"
"The Rites of Zesnan;" "Audie and Tweak;" "Return of the Sky Band;"
"Dracula's Potion;" "One of the Guys;" "100 Proof Highway;" "The
Time Freezer;" "The Prince Makes His Move;" "The Prince Triumphant;"
"The Prince Weds;" "The Prince's Royal Hunt;" "The Prince
Dethroned;" "Lothar's Homecoming;" "Suspended Sabotage;" "Call of
the Eternals;" "The Return of Doctor Dark;" "The Deadliest Battle;"
"The Necklace of Oros;" "Torn Space;" "Ming Winter;" "The Golden
Queen;" "The Gravity of Ming;" "Flesh and Blood;" "The Drowning
World;" "The Adoption of Kshin;" "Street Smarts;" and "The
Thunderlizards of Ming." Volume Two also contains episode 1 of
Filmation's `Flash Gordon'--which was supposed to have been on
Volume One, but wasn't--as well as a "Bonus Movie," which will be
redundant if you own the previous Defenders set since it's just the
first few episodes of the series edited together. Animation buffs
will enjoy the interesting interviews with Bruce Malek, David Wise
and Michael Swanigan...not to mention the original model sheets,
scripts, storyboards and trivia. You even get a full-color,
meticulously detailed episode guide and two groovy 4x6-inch art
cards! Call forth the power of ten tigers, and order both Defenders
of the Earth volumes today!
