Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
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.

My review, is specifically about this Steelbook version of the films. Sadly, this release has a couple of issues fans should be made aware of:
1) Partway through DEMONS, there is a break in the film, and an on-screen title comes up that says "End Of First Half", before continuing on with the rest of the film. This moment occurs, as the cinemagoers destroy the projection booth, and stop the film they've been watching from being projected. This issue does NOT exist in other versions of DEMONS I've seen, so I am a little shocked about this moment appearing in this release. It really breaks the tension of the moment, and it's a shame that Arrow have decided to include this in their version of the film. There's no real point or purpose, and it takes viewers out of the enjoyment of the movie.

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.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
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.

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.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
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).

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
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.

I hope they are worth the blind buy.
