How to Spot Counterfeit Os Trapalhões DVDs

Sadly, counterfeit DVDs are common, especially for popular Brazilian comedies. Here’s how to avoid fakes:

  • Check the back cover: Official DVDs display the Walt Disney Studios or Globo Filmes logo. Bootlegs often have blurry text or misspellings (e.g., “Os Trapalhoes” missing the accent).
  • Look for disc art: Authentic DVDs have full-color printing on the disc itself. Counterfeits often use plain silver discs with a sticker.
  • Be suspicious of “20 Filmes em 1 DVD”: Os Trapalhões films average 90 minutes each. Any disc claiming more than 2 films is almost certainly a low-quality bootleg.
  • Price: If it seems too cheap (e.g., R$10 for a box set), it’s fake.

Notable DVD releases (recommended "best" picks)

  1. Os Trapalhões e o Mágico de Oróz (1984) — A parody of classic fantasy tales with strong regional (Northeast Brazil) flavor; praised for performances and cultural references.
  2. O Cinderelo Trapalhão / O Trapalhão nas Minas do Rei Salomão (double-feature releases) — Examples of their adventure-parody films with high entertainment value for fans.
  3. Os Trapalhões na Serra Pelada (1982) — Satire on the gold rush and social consequences; notable for combining comedy with social commentary.
  4. Atrapalhando a Suate (compilations/various sketch collections) — DVD anthologies collecting TV sketches and musical numbers, good for newcomers.
  5. Coleções remasterizadas / Box sets — Multi-disc collections that gather several films; best for collectors seeking restored video and extras.
