re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
I'll definitely pick up Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja and the Norris movies.
I barely recall watching River of Death on VHS back in the early 90's. I don't recall if it was a good or bad Cannon film. |

re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
My only concern is paying the going rate for these (even the average going sale rate, which isn't particularly cheap), only to have them get re-packaged into budget-minded double-features, triple-features and four-packs down the road. Mind you, that would be better if the rights to these former MGM Home Video releases weren't arbitrarily scattered to Olive, Kino and Shout, but still each company (especially the first two) will have ample opportunity down the road to combine these into interesting "collections", much like MGM/Fox did with its various Chuck Norris Blu-ray combos (Total Attack Pack, 3 Chuck Norris Favorites, Missing In Action 1 and 2) and the Charles Bronson Triple Threat Collection (Death Wish 2-4), all of which routinely go on sale for less than the price of one Kino/Olive/Shout title. Being barebones (except trailers) probably accounts for that, I'm sure.
On a related note, I'm surprised one of these companies hasn't snapped up the rights to Mark Hartley's endlessly entertaining (and often downright hilarious) Cannon doc ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. It's an ideal companion piece to pretty much all of the film's in the OP's post, as they're all given face time in it. It's absolutely packed with great anecdotes that only make the films more endearing. <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/107973282" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/107973282">Electric Boogaloo - The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films - Official Trailer</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user23355634">Wild Fury In Production</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> |
re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
Hero and the Terror is one of Chuck's best (and most underrated) movies - I'll probably get that one when it dips under $10. Firewalker is just good, silly fun - although they forgot the other 't" on the end of Gossett. :(

It's much tougher economically for a small distributor licensing content from a studio to package like-minded releases together on Blu-ray in cheaper form. It is rarely done except for a place like Mill Creek that has blanket licenses to an entire catalog. I don't think you have to worry about it happening in this case with these BDs.
In fact, Kino has already had one "set" on the market for a while now: http://www.kinolorber.com/video.php?product_id=2569 I realize that's just a bunch of individual releases bundled together "as is", but it suggests to me that Kino, at least, is not above finding creative ways of combining existing product to potentially boost sales or save buyers a few bucks, and with so many great Cannon pictures coming in the months ahead, I have few doubts that we'll see something similar to this down the road. Obviously, my personal preference would be a "Michael Dudikoff Action Pack" or a "Killer Ninja Triple Feature" or what have you, with the existing discs in a single case with some fun new sleeve art, although obviously I wouldn't expect the kinds of bargain bin pricing we see when the big studios (or the mass-marketer type companies like Mill Creek) bundle old catalog titles together. Regardless this is all a LONG way off, but I'm fairly confident it'll happen, and I know the temptation to double dip will personally be hard to resist. In the meantime, I just finished revisiting THE GREAT RAIN ROBBERY, JUGGERNAUT, AVALANCHE, METEOR, and AVENGING FORCE (with commentary!) thanks to Kino's lovely new Blu editions which, like so many others they've released so far, I leapt at when the price dropped a measly two bucks! And I've got about nine more in the stacks here. Trust me, as much as I suspect combo packs will appear some day, I can't close my wallet long enough to wait for them! :lol: |

I got lucky recently and picked up the German BDs of Enter The Ninja & Revenge of the Ninja off of Ebay for around $25.XX (shipped). I do like all of this Cannon Films love coming from Kino Lorber, Olive Films and Shout/Scream Factory though. Hopefully someone releases Invasion U.S.A.! |
re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
Wish they'd do a 3D Blu-Ray of Treasure of the Four Crowns- I still have the original glasses from that which advertise Lou Ferrigno's Hercules on the inside (which wasn't in 3D.)
Looking forward to the Breakin' double feature; almost forgot about Rappin'- remember hearing a review of that on the radio when it came out where they were trying to be ironically clever and made the whole review rhyme, ending with "But Rappin' was crap, would I lie to you?" |
re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
I will probably get that Breakin' double despite the movies being not that great. I really want Beat Street.

Coming Soon! On Blu-ray and DVD! DELTA FORCE 2 (1990) Starring Chuck Norris, Billy Drago, John P. Ryan, Richard Jaeckel and Mark Margolis - Directed by Aaron Norris. Just announced this past week on Kino Lorber's Facebook page. Someone asked about Missing in Action III and someone from Kino said that another company has the rights. My guess it's Olive films. By the way, did anyone pick up Hero and the Terror and An Eye for an Eye yet? |
re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread
Picked up An Eye for an Eye and Hero and the Terror during this Amazon Kino Lorber sale.
Started watching Hero and the Terror last night. I haven't seen it since the early MGM DVD and honestly it looks quite good for a movie that's almost 30 years old. Hard to believe that Norris was in his late 40's in it and now he's 75 years old. -eek- No extras though. Just trailers. Looking forward to seeing An Eye for an Eye next. I don't think I've seen that one since the old Embassy VHS. |

i like the consistent labeling on the spine with these Kino Lorber titles...

Coming from Kino Lorber on February 16, 2016 Trailer: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tCGwD3Egrmk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Saw this years ago on VHS via CBS/FOX Home Video. Glad it's coming out. Also coming in February http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...XL._SX466_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...kL._SX466_.jpg Spellbinder is coming January 5th. Not a great movie, but it features a really hot young Kelly Preston. Saw it on MGM HD recently and it was decent. |

There's really no rhyme or reason how some of these Bronson and Norris movies are being released on BD. Some on FOX, some on Kino/Olive and now Norris has a few coming from Shout. I'd like to get Murphy's Law too. Very trashy 80's cop thriller. |
