I almost bought the the Arrow The Addiction on BD a few weeks ago from Barnes and Noble during their half off sale. Glad I waited, I just noticed that the Critters is region B so I will have to pass. I just ordered The Addiction and Demolition Man on DiabolikDVD. I love that site.

I prefer OrbitDVD over DD. DD do come in clutch sometimes, though.

I've always assumed it was a reference to this old joke...

NSFW:

An inquisitive young man was on a flight to Hawaii and was having a few drinks to celebrate his upcoming vacation, so he was quite alarmed to discover that the men's room was under repair. So he asked the stewardess for admittance to the ladies room. "Certainly," she replied, "as long as you don't touch the WW ,PP, or ATR buttons."

"Of course," the young man agreed.

No sooner had he relieved himself than his curiosity got the best of him. He pressed the WW button and enjoyed the sensation of warm water being sprayed on his rear. This first experiment was so pleasant he decided to try the PP button and was rewarded by the feel of a soft powder puff on his rear. Much emboldened by the first two tries, he pressed the ATR button.

Next thing he knew he was waking up in a bright white room with nurses all around him.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Did you push the WW button?" inquired the nurse.

"Yes..."

"And the PP button?"

"Yes..."

"Did you push the ATR button?"

"Yes, why?"

"ATR stands for automatic tampon removal. By the way your penis is under your pillow"

Friday the 13th (2009) 4K LE sold out pretty fast on Amazon when it dropped to $25 recently. I think it's being sold for $35 elsewhere. I already have the F13 BD box set. I don't like that movie enough to double dip at that price even in 4K.

I found the preorder for the Demolition Man 4k on Amazon and went ahead and placed my order. It was higher at $59.95 but it should be lower by the time it's released.

INCUBUS and RAMPO NOIR are nice surprises, and both have what appear to be decent new extras. Wouldn’t mind those in a future sale. Guess I should sell off the ancient DVDs while I still can!

Ooo TCM2. Is one of those sequels that is in no way better than the first but I love it more. Also in that group: Back to the Future 2, Robocop 2, and Gremlins 2.

lol I can’t argue they’re better (though I might try with Gremlins 2). I just like them more.

Robocop 2 does not belong on a list with Gremlins 2, which even Eli Roth agrees is a great sequel. Robo 2 is just not a good film, but different folks, different strokes.

I know that for gore hounds TCM 2 is a beloved film. I have not seen due to knowing the gore can be a bit extreme to watch and my stomach may not be strong enough to take in TCM 2.

Curious if Arrows Lifeforce has all the cuts of the film in HD, Shout received a lot of flak for their somewhat incomplete 4K release of Lifeforce.

Excited to buy Lifeforce if it ends up being the definitive release of this fan favorite film.

ETA: Hi Def Ninja site seems to indicate we get the 4k International release, think we have a winner

Lifeforce will have both cuts in 4K from what I understand.

I would not call TCM 2 a horror movie, for what it’s worth. It’s more of a gonzo splatter-comedy. For better or worse, there’s not much of anything else out there like it. Definitely a longtime favorite of mine.

Nesbit 12-01-24 12:25 AM

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Here’s the thing about Robocop 2. The title isn’t indicating that it’s the second Robocop film but it is in fact named after the films’ villain, Robocop 2. So …. yeah that’s pretty cool.


Plus I saw it first way too young (11?) in the theaters. It left a mark. It is by far the worst of the sequels i listed but i love it no less.

Gotta agree. I came to it relatively late into the video era, some time well after 2000 as I recall. I didn’t consciously avoid it, but just never took the time to rent or buy it. I’d read little things about it here and there, but never too deeply. I think I assumed it couldn’t possibly top the bleak intensity and grunginess of the original. And the trailers kinda made it look silly in comparison. When I finally saw it, it floored me. It really is its own beast, miles away from the original yet obviously tethered to it. I’m sure it’s gorier than the original, too, but it’s so confidently over the top and tongue-in-cheek – and with first rate production values to boot, despite the deliberate clutter everywhere – that the gorey bits didn’t hit me the same way as the comparatively gore-free kills in the original. I think all three of Hooper’s 80’s Cannon pictures put so much stuff on screen that it’s easy to forgive their flaws.

And I likewise find ROBOCOP 2, GREMLINS 2, and BTTF2 to have immense replay value while not actually being better than the originals. :)

I received my Demolition Man 4k boxed set over the weekend. I haven't watched the full movie yet but it was great to see it again as I haven't watched it since the VHS days. It's always been one of my favorite Stallone movies outside of his signature franchises(Rocky and Rambo).

I got it mostly for the new special features (that's what I care about the most), plus Desperado 4K. I couldn't even tell U in details about Video or Audio presentations. Looks/sounds good to me. Don't need the old Blu-rays anymore.

You mean regrets aside from now being stuck owning a copy of Once Upon a Time in Mexico?

Well, I'd be buying it for the first two, do they at least look fairly good on a large display?

I only bought the Deserado SteelBook and haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I already own the old Sony Blu-ray for Mariachi and never want to watch the third movie again.

Shudder and Arrow are partnering, with discs starting to show p this summer. Demons Are Forever and Perpetrator are getting UK/US releases; Nightwatch, The Sadness, Deadstream, Speak No Evil, Huesera: The Bone Woman, and Hellbender are UK-only. The Sadness is getting the UHD treatment.

Anyone have their copy of The Cell yet? After lurking at that other forum there seems to be a video glitch at the 15:15 mark of the Directors Cut. I saw enough reaction in the comments that it made me cancel my preorder until I see if Arrow does anything about the video error.

Picked up the 4K of The Cell (2000) earlier this evening from my local Barnes & Noble B&M.

Haven't seen this film in quite a while and I look forward to re-visiting it when my schedule opens up for a bit.

Also picked up the 4K releases of Demolition Man (1993) & Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment as a part of the 50% off Arrow Sale.

Which version, blu-ray or 4K? I have the blu-ray on the way cause Amazon dropped the price to $18 last month.

It's an editing mistake. Duplicate shots or something. Similar to the problems with the Arrow 12 Monkeys release.
