Hello,

I just purchased the DVD "Sweet Eighteen" from Sunshine films.

The DVD cover and dvd info. claim there is 6 hrs of multiple angel action. When I was done watching the film, I noted the time which is:

1:11:53 min.
Total run time for the film

Total run time with ads included is:

124:45

So you see the dvd falls way short of its claim of 6hrs. I feel cheated. The DVD contains only 6 chapters. Has anyone else purchased this dvd? I'm confused on why they would claim the dvd is 6 hrs? Six hrs is 360 min.

What is Sunshine Film's website?

It sounds as if you were burned by false advertising.

I tried a few times to find Sunshine's website, without luck, a long while ago.

I checked AVN Magazine's website, they used to have Sunshine's website listed, but now they don't. So I don't know what to tell you about that.

movies--

My experience has been that in general, albeit with a few exceptions, the 'budget' studios (often marked by releasing almost entirely, or entirely, compilations) pretty much suck. So it wouldn't surprise me if Sunshine screwed you, just like Leisure Time, Nymph, etc. would screw you.

HOWEVER: there may be an explanation here because that sounds too blatant for them to get away with. A few possibilities:

1. Try flipping the disc. It may be double sided.
2. The mention of 'multiple angles' makes me think that therte may be additional footage on the dvd if you hit your multi angle button or otherwise follow directions as to how to access their multi angles. You won't get any additional scenes, but you will get more footage of the existing scenes.

Worth a try anyway. My experience: I learned the hard way that it's worth paying the extra money for reputable studios like Private, Anabolic, Diabolic, Elegant Angel, Evil Angel, Hustler, and at times Digital Sin, Wicked, or even Vivid.

Good Luck,

Sounds like typical Sunshine. They're not really known for good quality or truthful advertising. They might have 4 or 5 angles that they're all counting towards the total running time (1:11 x 5 is almost six hours). Best bet is to shell out a couple extra bucks for a decent studio, but you're not the only person who's been burned in the past.

To astroknight and magnuspym

I tried the multi angle feature and there are 5. The run time is still the same 1:11:53 with no additional footage. The disc is dual layer so there's no need to flip it.

You're right, They must have multiplied the run time w/ the angels (5 X 1:11:53.) That sure is sneaky! Shame on them!

Can you see an index on your dvd player...i did have the same with some dvd's, but when i used the chapter selection, i found 2 more of each 100-120 minuts.

i prefer to use my dvd placers chapter, main index table instead of dvd menu's, even for Private ones, albeit it doesn't always work, some dvd's are made in a very curious way:-)

Hope it helped you a bit, and sorry for my broken english:-)

To Kaneda,
I went to the last chapter and when that scene was done, it said "The End" so I knew there was no more footage. They just cheated and multiplied the run time w/ the angels (5 X 1:11:53.)
