I don't know if they would release Mortal Kombat Anihilation as well.🤣 I'm not sure if I'd want to buy both movies on 4k or just stick with the blurays. Upgrades on the audio for both movies would be awesome but the very dated and horrible Special effects in 4k would likely look even worse than they already do.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Orbit is listing a bunch of OOP limited editions right now including the Dollars Trilogy

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The terrible Atmos tracks on Arrow's 4K releases for Conan the Barbarian, The Warriors, Barbarella, and other titles definitely suggest otherwise.

At best, the Atmos will be a reworking of some prior existing Blu-ray or DVD-era 5.1 remix, with sounds shuffled around a little more to throw an effect or two overhead, and then the whole thing excessively rolled-off and roise-reduced to hell and back.

The good thing about Arrow is that they almost always care enough to include the original mono track as well, and usually even prioritize it in the disc setup menus as the default audio option.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

It could also be an all new mix created with the original stems like 88's Dragons Forever UHD. I haven't been following the title closely since it was announced, so maybe that information is already out there somewhere.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Interesting as the reviews I have read all give Conan the Barbarian stellar marks for audio. I thought it sounded great when I watched it.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The Under Siege 4k comes very highly recommended. I just received it in the mail yesterday and Amazon refunded me the difference in price since its marked down to $24.99 with the Arrow sale going on right now.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

If anyone wants The Killer (the new set)by John Woo, I have an extra. Sealed. Maybe half what’s listed on Amazon. Won’t ask much. Pm me.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I can’t wait to revisit these. Actually never saw Westworld entirely or nothing perhaps. Excalibur is classic.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I got the Under Siege 4K from Amazon. There is a pretty decent amount of bonus content. Andrew Davis is heavily involved in the content. Hell, they even have an interview with Erika Eleniak. Of course, Seagal isn't involved at all.

I'm a little busy this weekend, but hopefully I'll get a chance to go through it next week.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I finally watched my Under Siege 4K. Solid transfer and a pretty decent amount of extras. I watched the interview with Erika Eleniak and she said she enjoyed her experience on the movie. But she didn’t interact with Seagal much outside of filming. She was more friendly with Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. Sounds like Seagal just came to work, did his job and left.

I hadn’t watched Under Siege probably since the DVD was initially released over 20 years ago. It still holds up very well.

I don’t know if there is much interest and it was definitely not as good, but I would be interested in Arrow doing Under Siege 2.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I would be too. I have watched it as much as the first. Eric Bogosian is so over the top in it. :lol:

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I don't remember much from Under Siege 2 except I think Sandra Taylor was in a Penthouse magazine I had in the early 90's.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

^^ haha, I remembered that one too. She was super hot in a workout/gym setting.

Wandering Ginza Butterfly is very exciting, and I'm definitely in for The Killer (as I was holding out for Arrow's edition).

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Hmmmm The Eye, I have the old DVD

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

In for The Killer UHD. Already pre-ordered at OrbitDVD.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Soldier
The Killer
Innerspace

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Likewise. The old Hong Kong DVD and possibly a U.S. version of it as well. The remake was pretty blah, so it’s nice to see the original getting some love. I kinda wish some company had rounded up all four films in that (loosely-related) series – EYE 2, EYE 10 [yes, 10], CHILD’S EYE – but there was probably a mix of distributors that would make that unworkable.

It’s cool to see INNERSPACE getting the treatment, too, with some promising looking new extras. Odd that Arrow sees fit to issue that in both formats and not SOLDIER? They must have a pretty weird arrangement with Warner.

Also, the first GINZA BUTTERFLY movie is pretty good, the second is just ok, so it’s good that they combined them. Synapse had both titles on separate DVDs, so I’m a little surprised they didn’t try to upgrade them at some point.

Definitely in for THE KILLER, albeit down the road. Happy to see that they added the old Kino Lorber commentary, which wasn’t on Shout’s edition (I think that was the case for HARD BOILED as well). The new extras match the Shout set but the inclusion of the vintage interviews and featurettes does give this an advantage for completists. :thumbsup:

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Seeing talk on social media today that Arrow's version of Hard Boiled has very different color grading than Shout Factory's, with a lot of debate about which is "correct."

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The comparisons that I've seen are all from the Arrow trailer and not the actual disc. That's not to say they won't match, but just pointing it out for clarity's sake.

That said, the bluer look of the Arrow caps looks more like the movie as I remember it. I think it's closer to the timing of some of the older dvds. But I've never seen the movie on 35mm, so who's to say if that's actually correct. As always though, I tend to trust Arrow more than Shout in these situations.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

This is a weird complaint that I have had with Arrow lately. I get it if another company has the rights to and has released a blu-ray that is currently available, like with Lost in Space or Trick R Treat, but not with stuff that hasn't been available on disc since the DVD days like Red Sonja or The Eye it's kind of disappointing that they are not releasing a blu-ray version as well.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

It's often cheaper to license a movie for UHD than both BD/UHD. Also makes production costs cheaper.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I love Arrow. Some of their blu-rays are so good. No need to upgrade to 4K. Plus they released Spider Baby on blu so I could retire my DVD.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Arrow dropped a teaser on their social media accounts for another Enter the Video store boxset. The first set is one of my favorite Arrow releases so I am curious as to what will be in this one, will it continue with the Charles Band films or will it be movies from another company?

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Which ones?
