Why So Blu?

Indeed. Looks like they had some last minute rights clearance issues with that, so imagine, if the UK has trouble sourcing material for release -- don't ever expect this set to be released in the USA anytime soon/ever.

I actually wondered if the MVD link might be behind this, as I've noticed so many of my parcels coming from them lately. I won't be surprised if some day they have all the extant labels under their distribution, and then we'll only need one thread in this entire section!

I might have to pre-order this sooner than later. Most of the Jodorowsky films I own are from the Anchor Bay DVD set that was released many years ago.

Arrow's Shinya Tsukamoto BD set has also been delayed until late May due to authoring issues.

Also DiabolikDVD has copies of the Beyond The Door LEs up right now.

I waited too long on the Beyond The Door LEs at DiabolikDVD. They are sold out right now

Apparently the warehouse is sold out at the moment and whatever copies are out in the world are it.

My order at Deep Discount just got cancelled, though they still have it up for ordering. We'll see if Amazon comes through. If not, the film is a "whim" for me, -not a "must-have".

The Code Red BD release of the film is currently $14.99 over at Hamilton Books.

Also for anyone interested, DiabolikDVD has the Beyond The Door LEs back in stock!

Since the Synapse Films Thread got locked as well, I thought I'd post some of the stuff Don May Jr. has shown that he is working on (via Instagram):

-Beautiful Girl Hunter (Bishôjo-gari) (Star of David: Hunting For Beautiful Girls) (1979)

-Suckers (2001)

-Love Hunter (1972)

I believe Don is also working on Deadly Spawn but said the labs in California are still shut down.

Losing my shit that Synapse is working on Beautiful Girl Hunter, even though I know Germany had their own release.

Dream Demon, now there's one I haven't seen in ages, but I remember being very good. I'll be picking it up.

I still wish Arrow still had a dedicated thread opened...

The longer I put off pulling the trigger on the Arrow LE, the more I started to feel the same.

While the film is a whole lot of fun, I'm not sure if I want to pay a premium for it, though I know folks that absolutely love this film.

I might end up picking up the Code Red Blu-Ray from Hamilton Books instead, as it's $14.99 but without the U.S. Theatrical Cut.

Anyone know why Amazon doesn’t have a listing for Arrow’s Sixteen Candles? Why so easy with Walmart for in-store and nothing on Amazon, seems strange. Anyone know if the extra scenes are anything significant?

Adam Tyner

They do:

OldBoy

How the fuck? I put in Sixteen Candles Blu-ray! Thanks!

Adam Tyner

No problem! Amazon’s search is the worst. I couldn’t quickly find it by searching for “sixteen candles blu-ray”, although it does come up for “sixteen candles arrow”.

I’ve trained myself to search for the UPC code if I can’t find what I’m looking for, and that’s what I did here.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, same here.

Amazon's search function is nearly useless when it comes to finding movies. It also sucks the way they group editions under a single title, the annoying "blu-ray" and "multi-format" distinction, and the fact that they have a bunch of non-region 1/A releases mixed in.

I wonder how many people who aren't saavy about such things (which, lets face it, are most of them) end up buying a movie that they can't play on their player because a UK or German edition of the blu-ray/DVD they're looking for is the first thing that comes up when you do a search.

You really have to find the UPC code from someplace other than Amazon to insure you're ordering the edition you want.

asianxcore

Ordered Oldboy & Heathers from Arrow's current Easter Sale.

Really looking forward to those eventually showing up.

joltman

Another way to find a specific Blu-ray on Amazon is to find it on Blu-ray.com as they always have an Amazon link on their release pages

So excited about Inferno of Torture (1969)!

I'd been on a long search for a copy of the German DVD release, which has since gone out of print.

About 5+ years ago, I passed on a copy of it for $50 on Ebay and regretted it up until this latest announcement from Arrow

OldBoy

Anyone get Sixteen Candles and had a chance to view all stuff?

There's a few Arrow's on sale via BB and Amazon (price match) for $18.99. Sixteen Candles is apart of the sale. Not bad for only being released two weeks ago. I may just wait until an Arrow sale.
