Originally posted by fryinpan1 I am happy with the current transfers, sound, and extras for Bad Boys II, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, & Underworld so I will not be double dipping. |
Originally posted by brianluvdvd I am in the same boat. I have waited on getting this. I have not seen the extended cut but I thought the original was pretty good. I know its not the greatest movie but I really liked the style. The sound was reference quality. I do think that the final monster guy's make-up was disappointing. |
Originally posted by TylerDurden_73 I just bought the EE about twio weeks ago for about 14.99 at best buy. I have to say that I preferred it over the Theatrical. Both Sound and picture quality are spectacular, and the added scenes haelp the character developement in a movie that felt to short to begin with. I usually Buy Suberbits...But Underworld I will be skipping. but the reviewer did not really compare it to the original or extended releases. Ayone seen a comparison quality-wise review yet? |
Was thinking about double dipping on these superbits, but I'll just wait for the Blue-ray, especially since itsa sony backed, no reason to triple-dip
|
did anyone get CLIFFHANGER or BAD BOYS 2 and how was the new transfer/dts?

I would still like to hear if Cliffhanger has an updated release.

www.dvdmg.com and HTF have reviews of Bad Boys II. I thought I remember reading one for Cliffhanger somewhere, but I can't find where.

Originally posted by Superman07 Also, how much time does the DC add over the original? I think I am going to go with the DC instead of the Superbit since the SB is the theatrical version. I can't imagine the DTS track being much better than the DD. Picture quality is important but it seems to be another case where the original & revsied release is top-notch. |
We now have our extensive Once Upon A Time In Mexico Superbit vs Standard comparison review here.

We have a great review of last month's Cliffhanger Superbit DVD here.
Snippet: To sum it all up, Cliffhanger offers tremendous entertainment - stereotypical baddies getting their evil plans cocked up by stalwart muscle-bound heroes. Boys’ Own stuff that you simply can’t beat. It does exactly what it sets out to do – lots of cliffs and lots of people hanging off them. Janine Turner does unfortunately lapse into pure damsel in distress mode and John Lithgow is about as threatening as a tin of tuna, but Stallone does deliver the goods in his own inimitable style. There are times when it feels like a nod back to First Blood, and that can’t be a bad thing. Columbia Tristar’s Superbit Edition is very welcome indeed. The AV quality is pixel-perfect and a joy for the ears, too. Obviously you are getting nothing in the extras department but, to be fair, if you love the film enough, it’s probably worth getting anyway to have sitting on the shelf next to its feature-packed region 1 standard edition. |
