Posted ImageFound this DVD recently, a 2013 release from Legend Films, but at least they didn't colorize it. It's a 1992 compilation from Sandy Oliveri of 90 min. of serial trailers and a few odd bits, I watched it yesterday (quality is very good to excellent depending on the trailer) and wrote 'em down just for you. Amazon lists this thing for seven bucks.

Funny thing is IMHO, the two best serial trailers were DON WINSLOW OF THE NAVY and THE OREGON TRAIL, a pair of not so great serials. I thought MYSTERIOUS DR. SATAN had a dumb trailer, with titles having the robot say, "I am Dr. Satan's robot, I......"
The trailer for G-MEN VS. THE BLACK DRAGON showing a bunch of Lydecker explosions, but none of those appeared in the serial.

This isn't available at Amazon North, yet, hopefully soon. For years, I was never a big fan of trailers, nothing against them, but I wouldn't buy a compilation like this. I've learned to appreciate them and even found many have scenes that aren't in the final film. So I am looking forward to this release. And the price is nice, too.
