Meh, maybe. Nothing really leaps out at me. I think I'll pass.

I'm in the process of selling all of my Arrow titles, except for The Funhouse - it's a wonderfully stacked disc with a very nice transfer. I've watched the film a half-dozen times (plus the commentaries) since buying it.

The rest is bitching and moaning that the steelbook releases drops all of the physical bonus material (i.e. the comics), but a poster on Blu-ray.com also confirmed the random break in the film.



I think that news alone has confirmed I'm going to cancel my orders for the single releases and stick with the steelbook alone as it'll save me $10.

I don't believe for a second that Arrow is gonna let another apparent mistake slip through after a two year process to get this film onto Blu-ray. If that does happen, Arrow is officially DONE as a company.

Don't most films in Italy have intermissions still do this day? If it's an Italian Print of the film that would be accurate to the original version.

That seems to be the case.

For those getting the individual releases, Demons and its sequel is now delayed to May 14th.

The steel book still comes out next week.

Lady Snowblood 1 & 2 coming in September! (9/24/12)

Region B Locked

I haven't bought any Arrow releases since their early ones, I (still) hope they don't botch this one.

BD/DVD (Regular Packaging)

BD/DVD (Limited Edition Steelbook)

They're also releasing some Troma trash, but the less said about that the better.

Excellent news on both Lady Snowblood titles.

Now, for my lazy ass to get a region-free player.

Well, I've just placed an order on a new region free Oppo player, so I'll certainly look into these.

Very cool. I was actually just asking about these titles in the Lone Wolf & Cub thread.

It's worth the 80 bucks or whatever it is that the Insignia models go for at Best Buy. Imagine enjoying the hi-def glories of They Live, The Howling, Rolling Thunder, The Innocents, Touch of Evil or uh, a Demons double-feature? Not to mention the huge collection of Hammer titles being prepped.

ROLLING THUNDER actually works on my Panny BD-60 - it's next on my UK order list

Did they ever get back to you and let you know how many copies they have left? Im still waiting for their reply ( just decided at the last minute that i would buy blind this movie along with De Palma's "Obsession").

I'll post them in case anyone else was interested.

I will say that if they no longer have any left, according to the Shout Factory thread, they licensed the Blu-Ray rights from Universal (along with other films such as Halloween II and III), so if you can't get a region free copy, it's likely that we'll have a decent release here. With that said, the Arrow release is that damn good, so if you have the opportunity to get it, I would.


Assuming those are Region Free, I'm sure those'll be good for those whom have been waiting for Troma to get around to release their own films on Blu-Ray for some time...

FYI, the Troma releases from Arrow will be region free. The bonus material has already been announced for Class of Nuke 'Em High:

That being said, depends on where one looks, one can score the Troma Blu-ray release for pretty cheap which contains the same bonus material, plus more (deleted scenes).

Arrow is having a one hour lighting deal on their website that is supposed to begin shortly. One dvd and one blu-ray will be on sale. Last month's was Frankenhooker for £6.99.

Ashes and Diamonds for £6.99, one hour only:

Would that mean Ashes and Diamonds is today's title? I see it's £6.99 on their website right now.

Ha, ha. Flansered must have beat me to it by a few seconds.

I was hoping it would be Miracle in Milan.

I was just shocked that it wasn't a title I already owned. I ordered it. I considered ordering the Kentucky Fried Movie, but since I own the U.S. dvd I would be ordering it just for the packaging so I passed.

Because I sent my e-mail in before the deadline on the BOGO sale, their rep said I can still get in on the sale and that they had a couple of copies of the Region Free version of "The Funhouse". I hope they are worth the blind buy.
