IMO the Arrow set smashes the Criterion to itty bitty pieces. The only thing the Criterion has over the Arrow is a superior presentation of Enter the Dragon. Unfortunately I'm not a big enough of a fan of Bruce to double dip something like this, I've barely finished my Criterion box as it is. |

Didn't WB announce at the beginning of the year that you should expect 50th anniversary 4K editions of Enter the Dragon and The Exorcist?

https://twitter.com/ArrowFilmsVideo/...153621507?s=20 Currently it's about $148 USD converted if you pre-order this set now. Anyone feel like coughing up that much right away? ;) |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Amazon UK has the Bruce Lee Golden Harvest 4K set for preorder Looks like it's being sold at MSRP for now at 159.99 pounds, which is about $197. Arrow site is a little cheaper. |

Are all Arrow Blu rays usually region free?

This isn’t bulletproof, but a general rule of thumb is that if it was released in both the US and the UK, you won’t have to worry about region-coding. If it’s UK-only, it’s almost certainly region B.

Yeah, that’s a (mostly) necessary distinction. The Stuff is another one like that.

UNLOCK THE SECRET… Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs this audacious adaptation of Brian Selznick’s award winning novel, a magical, mysterious adventure and an exhilarating ode to cinema itself. Hugo Cabret is an orphan, living secretly in the walls of a Paris train station, tending to the many clocks, stealing what he needs to survive and hiding from the ruthless station inspector.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Here are the specs on the Bruce Lee set:
When former child actor and Hollywood TV sidekick Bruce Lee returned to his native Hong Kong in 1971 to star in two films for fledgling company Golden Harvest, movie history was made thanks to one of the most iconic partnerships between star and studio that cinema has ever seen. In only a handful of films, Lee high-kicked his way into audiences’ imaginations forever, thanks to his blistering screen presence and his masterful ‘Jeet Kune Do’ fighting technique. The first two starring vehicles for Lee, The Big Boss and Fist of Fury (both directed by Lo Wei), smashed all box office records in Hong Kong and made him the most famous face on the continent. Lee asserted his artistic independence by directing, writing and starring in The Way of the Dragon, arguably his most thrilling and personal film. Tragically, on the cusp of achieving the international stardom he had long strived for, Bruce Lee died suddenly in 1973, aged only 32. Not to be outdone by the tidal wave of ‘Bruceploitation’ films that followed, Golden Harvest completed two posthumous films using unreleased footage, 1978’s Game of Death and its 1981 sequel, as well as two official documentaries, the first of which hit cinemas only three months after Lee’s death. Today, five decades since his passing, Bruce Lee continues to be the most beloved and influential martial artist in the world. This definitive collection, featuring fresh and exclusive 4K restorations by Arrow Video from the best available film materials, hours of brand new bonus features and previously unreleased footage - including the extended Mandarin Cut of The Big Boss, now ten minutes longer than any version ever released on video worldwide, and the never-before-seen ‘log fight’ from the original Game of Death shoot - is the ultimate tribute to Bruce Lee’s enduring legacy and fruitful collaboration with Golden Harvest. LIMITED TEN-DISC UHD/BLU-RAY COLLECTION CONTENTS

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm on record as saying Bruce Lee's movies aren't that good, despite his obvious charisma and massive effect on the film industry, but holy moly that is one incredible set. The Mandarin cut of the Big Boss is obviously the crown jewel, but all significant variations of Game of Death and Game of Death II? Including the mythical Korean cut of Game of Death II? An 80 minute piece by Tony Rayns? Those are the things I'm most excited about. That and the new scans free from the tyranny of Ritrovata.

As far as region free blu ray players available to play the above mentioned Bruce Lee set then what player would be the most recommended?
My current region free blu ray player only play's region free dvds. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm really looking forward to their second Spaghetti western collection. |

If you're just looking for standard blu-ray and not UHD, then there are a million options. Just make sure you buy it from a place like 220 Electronics so you know you're getting a properly modded player.

Regarding Blackhat:
Blackhat News We listened to your feedback about our release of Blackhat not including Michael Mann's revised director's cut of the film and we are very pleased to confirm that the original digital files have been found. It will now be included as a second Blu-ray Disc. To allow time for disc authoring and quality control, we have had to push the release date back to 4th September. We hope you understand the necessity for this delay and are as excited as we are to be able to feature this significantly different version of the film alongside the two previously announced cuts. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Now that's a must-buy for me, even if the DC is only in HD.
Honestly, including the Euro cut makes no sense... In the European version of the film, the description of Lozano and his affiliation with the "Los Zapotecas" gang at approx. 26 minutes into the film is shortened. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm late to the discussion of the Bruce Lee set, but thought I would chime in. I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan. I don't think I can count how many times I've bought his movies on disc from multiple regions. I bought the Longstreet DVDs just to have his episodes. There was a time when I would have gone to the ends of the earth to own and be able to watch this upcoming Arrow set, but I think I'm past that time now. I admire the apparently unprecedented effort Arrow has put into the set. The big draws are obviously the longer, lost cut of The Big Boss and the massive Game of Death video essay featuring all of Bruce's dailies footage, but I'm very content without either of those in my collection. The Big Boss is my least favorite of Bruce Lee's movies and additional footage that primarily features more gore and more sexual content isn't going to make that movie any better, so the novelty doesn't really appeal to me. We're never going to see a fully realized version of Bruce's vision for Game of Death and the existing edits of his completed footage are more than enough to get a glimpse of what it could have been. I'm certainly interested to watch both of those unique offerings once if given the opportunity, but I'm not going to buy a region-free BD/UHD player and pay for the full set in order to have that opportunity.
Criterion's Bruce Lee set is a very solid compilation of his work and probably the last Bruce Lee set I will ever buy on physical media. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
UNMAN has been on my wanna-see list for about 40 years, ever since I skimmed across it in the Maltin guide as an early teen and was intrigued by the synopsis. I don’t recall a home video release, at least not in North America (and searching Amazon UK turns up nothing). I doubt it will be a hot seller considering its obscurity all these years later, so it will surely last into some future sale season.

Nice, Weird Science in 4K. Glad I waited.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
The Last House on the Left remake is surprising to see. I still remember seeing walkouts in theaters. Not an easy watch but I might get that 4k release.

Never saw it but it looks like the theatrical cut will be in 4K but the unrated will only be on BD. |
