Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Amazon has Conan up for sale on 8/2. Conan the Destroyer also on the same day.
the Destroyer obviously isn't as good as the first movie but i'll be getting both on release day anyway. Hopefully they'll be WORTH the up grade to bluray and I won't be wasting my time with this becuse this has been one of my favorite movies of all time. So this bluray release better be worth it. |
Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Seeing as how the DVD for Barbarian was 2.0 only, and Destroyer wasn't even anamorphic. I'd say both of these are bound to be improvements.

Sweet. Knowing that this has the commentary, I'll be buying both. Barbarian is far and away my favorite Schwarzenegger film (With Commando a close 2nd).

Ugh, that cover art is terrible, especially for Barbarian...
|
Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Agreed, but at least they match. lol.

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
yes, it got good reviews. I'm excited to get this next week.

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Those screencaps look gorgeous. I can't wait to get this.

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
That looks damn good. Can't wait for this. :up:

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Watched Conan the Destroyer last night. Great transfer. The audio is solid, although the rears weren't used all that much (other than ambient background noise). Still the dialog and score sound great.
Can't wait to watch Barbarian this weekend. Anyone waiting for a quality release of these flicks, should be pleased. |
Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Hey, just a heads up about the "Barbarian" Blu...a number of folks have contacted me about an audio problem that seems to affect portions of the score. After confirming it, I have updated my review. It's not a deal-breaker IMO, but if you're a die-hard fan of the film it's worth knowing about.

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Disappointing. Basil's score is not one to be messed with and of course they fuck it up.
|
Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Disappointing to hear about the audio issue, and the lack of the International cut. IIRC, wouldn't that mean this version omits Conan punching the horse?
|
Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
They effed up the choral section????? Unbelievable...
Somebody should mix in the remastered version of the Conan the Barbarian score from last year. That recording is a beast... |

I wonder what the missing minute consists of, then?

Re: Universal prepping Conan the Barbarian ('82) for 2011 BD release
Ugh, it irritates me that this doesn't have the full intl. cut. and not the end of the world, but why no extras for Destroyer?

If I remember, after the attack on the hill, it shows the princess leading Conan up to where Conan kills Thulsa, and after everyone leaves, the princess and Conan sit staring out to the world.
