Mortal Kombat: Conquest Boxset £1

The Mortal Kombat video games are mostly quite good, but any attempts at a live-action version have been at best average. Mortal Kombat: Conquest was a short-lived TV series that acted as a prequel to the first film, and was notable only for the amount of females in it that went on to pose nude.

This Mortal Kombat: Conquest boxset is a five disc set that doesn’t actually contain all the episodes, even though 22 were produced. In fact, some of them are on more than one disc!

Pop in to Poundland and pick up this set of cheap DVDs for, you’ve guessed it, £1.

Life On Mars: Series One And Two (Blu-Ray) £12.89 Each

Although the follow up series "Ashes To Ashes" may give some clues as to whether Sam Tyler was really going mad or genuinely did travel back in time, I’m not 100% convinced we’ll ever get a real answer.

Life On Mars: The Complete First Series contains the first six episodes. As this is a Blu-Ray release, all are in glorious high definition - please make sure that you can play these discs before purchasing.

Sendit.com have this set available for £12.89 - click here for more details.

In what was to be the final series, Life On Mars: The Complete Second Series contains the last six episodes. As I said before, you don’t really get to find out if Sam Tyler was imagining everything - make your own mind up!

This is yet another Blu-Ray release, so make sure you can play these. If you have a PlayStation 3, that’ll do fine.

Kill Bill: Volumes One And Two (Blu-Ray) £17.95

The Blu-Ray release of Kill Bill: Volumes One And Two is so new that there’s no boxart for it yet. It also looks suspiciously like a misprice, so act quickly before the price goes up.

If you’ve never seen either film they both make up part of an epic-length revenge drama that contains homages to early film genres like Hong Kong martial arts movies, Japanese samurai movies, and Italian spaghetti westerns. Popular music is extensively used, as are many pop culture references, and it should be no surprise to hear of a lot of over-the-top violence.

The Outer Limits: The Original Series - Seasons One And Two From £7.97 Each

The original version of The Outer Limits actually only ran for two years, but is quite rightfully held in high regard. The influence on Star Trek is clear, as some of the creatures appear in both and so do a few of the actors - most notably William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

The Outer Limits: The Original Series - Season One contains the first 32 episodes, which each have a slightly altered introduction (instead of controlling your TV, it’s now your DVD player under control!).

To get this for £7.97 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £9.42 delivered) from Amazon, simply click here.

Stephen King has been quoted as saying that this is "the best programme of its type to ever air on network television", which is quite the statement coming from someone as influential as he is.

The Outer Limits: The Original Series - Season Two has the final 17 episodes that were produced before the show was abruptly cancelled. It would be another 40 years until it would return (The Outer Limits: Season One is still available for £12.99, by the way).

Click here to get this set for £12.99 from Play.com.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Complete Series £10.93

Dungeons & Dragons is an animated series based on the fantasy role-playing game of the same name. There was some controversy when it was shown during the middle of the 80s, as the level of violence is quite high for something aimed at kids - so much so that one episode was nearly cancelled.

All 27 episodes are contained in the Dungeons & Dragons: The Complete Series boxset. This UK version is perhaps better than its US counterpart, because none of the music has been edited.

4 DVDs For £15

What a bunch of buggers base.com are.

They were running a 5 DVDs for £15 deal, but have since changed this to 4 DVDs for £15 - that’s one less, for the same price!

I have to admit that the quality of what’s on offer has improved greatly though with titles such as True Lies, The Good The Bad And The Ugly: Special Edition, and Anchorman merely scratching the surface.

Click here to see the full list.

The Outer Limits: Season One £12.99

After a failed attempt to bring back The Outer Limits during the eighties, it finally relaunched in 1995 with a whole new batch of science fiction tales. Each episode has at least one noticeable star in it, from Leonard Nimoy to Robert Patrick to Martin Kemp.

The Outer Limits: Season One contains the first 22 installments, and there’s also four short documentaries about selected episodes.

The Ten Commandments: 50th Anniversary Edition £2.99

The Ten Commandments depicts the Biblical story of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who was to become the deliverer of the Hebrew slaves. Cecil B. DeMille directed the 1923 silent film and the dramatised remake in 1953.

Both are available in The Ten Commandments: 50th Anniversary Edition, which is a three disc set - the first two discs containing the 1953 movie, an audio commentary and extensive documentary, and the third disc holding the 1923 film and a seperate audio commentary.

At your local Somerfield, this is available for just £2.99.
