Croupier is an underrated movie. The older Blu-ray looked decent but unremarkable.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
So, a weird little thing.
I posted earlier about how I had bought the Blu-ray of 12 Monkeys and I asked them on Facebook about getting a replacement and they ended up sending me the 4K disc instead of a Blu and I thought it settled. But then just the other day I received a second replacement 4K disc all the way over from the UK. Anyone else? |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I got a second replacement 12 Monkey UHD of the UK version also. Don't know if there is any difference from the original replacement disc.

Unobstructed View has the Shawscope Volume 2 set for $164.99 plus $15 shipping. This is the cheapest price so far here in Canada. Amazon.ca has it for $213.99 right now. Amazon had it for around $200 earlier when it was first announced. I placed my order with Unobstructed View again. For Volume One, I received the set a few weeks early so I'm hoping for the same thing.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
A BBFC listing indicates that Arrow is releasing Sonny Chiba’s Karate Inferno. Or the original Executioner rather than the sequel. Seems there’s a bit of a mismatch between title and plot synopsis, but it’s apparently one of the two (or both?).

Terrence J. Brady (whose name you might recognize from the ShawScope sets) sez that Arrow is releasing a Bruce Lee UHD box set next summer.

Bruce Lee 4K? :fart:
I think I’ve bought practically every BD/HD version of his movies. I had a feeling this might happen. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yes, it was on the list of hints from earlier in the year. It got pushed back.

I just got the Shawscope Volume 2 set delivered today from Unobstructed View. For whatever reason I can’t upload the photo from my device.
36th Chamber looks fantastic! |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Amazon has the Donnie Darko 4k Limited Edition on sale for 25 bucks. I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
What's the likelihood that my copy will have the defective Theatrical Cut version? I've been reading horror stories that Arrow is now giving customers a hard time if they want a replacement of Disc 1. |

I've been reading horror stories that Arrow is now giving customers a hard time if they want a replacement of Disc 1. . That said, the stories I saw on the other forum about troubles replacing the defective discs are from people who bought the Special Edition, because, supposedly, the Special Edition wasn't supposed to have defective discs, but some copies did for some reason, and Arrow was refusing to acknowledge that. So, if you truly are getting the Limited Edition, then there should be no issue with getting a replacement disc |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Having watched a few films of the Shawscope Volume 2, I feel that is not as good as the first volume even with the inclusion of 36th Chamber trilogy, Invincible Shaolin and Boxer’s Omen.
However, if you are a fan of The Boxer’s Omen, Arrow did an awesome job. It looks really good. It’s worth a purchase just for that. It’s too bad the commentary track for the film is not very good. There’s a lot of pauses and the commentator has a lot of instances in which he can’t recall information. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Edit - It seems this is the same release as the Limited Edition that Eureka released and it’s discontinued. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Crazy that Arrow has this now. I have the Eureka version and that just came out a few months ago it seems. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
A couple of interesting titles, but I have to admit nothing that really has me champing at the bit for a day-one purchase. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
If anyone hasn't already picked up One Armed Boxer but is interested in the exclusive slipcover, it's on sale at $20 at Arrow's online store.

Some of those Giallo Essentials sets lately remind of the Forgotten Gialli sets from VS. Real mixed bags, but packaged all pretty for those who can't say no . . . :lol: |

As far as I'm aware, Arrow only did one pressing of the Limited Edition, and never did a recall on it to replace the discs before sending them back out, so I think every new copy you buy will have the defective disc.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm pretty sure I got a corrected disc in my Donnie Darko LE 4K set, though I picked it up quite awhile after release.

The corrected disc says, "V2" at the end of the stock # on the actual disc. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Shawscope Volume 2 is $94.63 + tax and free shipping from Walmart via Deep Discount. Basically the same price it would be at current price + 15% off coupon whenever they have one, plus no extra shipping charge.

My local Best Buy shows that they have the 12 Monkeys 4K UHD in stock for $25, is there any way to tell if it has the corrected disc based on the packaging?

Anyone get the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves limited edition? If so, how is it as a total package?
