Just so you know, a new 25th anniversary edition is being release next month and it's only $10.49. It's going to have a new transfer and a ton of new extras.

Original commentary from Elite laserdisc that's been featured on most DVD releases? It's on there. The Gord the Merrier from the Anchor Bay tin? It's on there. Behind the Screams from the AB Book of the Dead edition? It's on there. Presumably all the trailers/tv spots etc. are the same as well. The Anchor Bay release will be utterly obsolete. This Lionsgate edition should supersede it in every way. Cool packaging has caused me to hold onto the two DVD versions of the film I have. I look forward to using the case from my AB EDII to replace my broken "Near Dark" case and then throwing EDII away. |

Yeah, I don't think I could ever part with my two Book of the Dead editions. Those are still the most picked up things on my shelves when people come over to my house. I'm happy I've waited for the second Blu-ray release of Evil Dead 2.

Does this also mean the old commentaries are being kept with the "all new" commentaries? Because even if that's the only difference, I think I'd prefer to keep my older ones as well. Also, do you know any place that can confirm they're porting all previous special features? |

One thing I should learn from it is that all Lions Gate BD titles seem to hit $5 eventually, so $7 should really be my limit. |

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
Actually, I'm not going to get too excited until I read reviews of the transfer. The studio is Entertainment One. Do they have a good track record for BD transfers? The description says "painstakingly remastered"...but they all say that, even when the final result looks like a poor VHS dub. I was actually hoping that Criterion might pick up this little gem with its gorgeous VistaVision. It's always been one of my favorite Brando films and unusual westerns...maybe a little bloated (like Brando himself), but with some great scenes & images. I'll just be happy if they do a decent job to replace the public domain SD copies out there (although I seemed to have gotten one of the better transfers). Also good to see Little Big Man, The Conversation, and some other fine movies coming out the same day. |

I seem to remember reading that one of the European Blu-ray releases of One-Eyed Jacks is muddy and brown. Hopefully this isn't using that same master. Also, hopefully it's not at the hands at the guys who did the Gulliver's Travels BD that was also "painstakingly remastered" but was stretched/upconverted from something VHS-ish. Entertainment One might also just be the distributor, not the company putting it together (in the same way that Amazon frequently lists Criterion titles as being released by Image). |
