Any good or new bonus material on the Wayne's World 4K?

Seems like some people have it early since it comes out in 11 days, so maybe someone will show the back cover sooner than later.

That's the optimistic news, the bummer news is the steelbook blu-ray that came out already this year with the same 30th-anniversary header came with no special features so...who knows.

I find Black Friday sales are often not good for that. You can find niche stuff you like because you know exactly what you want and what you’d pay for it. Then there’s what retail does, which is to just push out a lot of garbage at a discount and hope to move it by getting people artificially excited. Neither really works when you’re trying to buy someone else a thoughtful gift.

Shout has the jackie Chan vol 1 set listed. I'm not familiar with any of these movies (I've mostly seen a couple 80s and all 90s stuff) but I am surprised drunken master doesn't get in this.

Oh wow, that is a big gaping hole. No Snake in The Eagle's Shadow either.

The Killer Meteors is actually a Jimmy Wang Yu movie, Jackie plays the villain for the first and only time in his career. Skippable imo

Shaolin Wooden Men I remember being the best Lo Wei era Jackie movie. He's like a mute raised by the Shaolin monks. The titular wooden men are a hallway of wooden automatons you have to fight to leave the Temple.

To Kill With Intrigue and Snake and Crane Arts are forgettable wuxia films. I remember S&C being the better of the two.

Haven't seen the others.

You already know it won't

e: for the threads sake, Wayne goes to play his dream guitar, does about four notes of stairway before he's stopped by the clerk who points to a giant No stairway to heaven sign...and I guess only the theatrical run had the actual notes, all other versions use random music instead

the joke still works, I don't think I noticed personally until I heard about it on the internet, but then again I was too young for WW1 in theaters, and I don't even know that I saw 2 there either


e2: some guy fixed it with a fan edit of the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f13FY94BKI, and ok, it's a little satisfying..but still, the joke holds, even more so that they can't even get a quarter of the riff cleared for use

Yeah I was surprised by what’s (not) included. I figured at least Snake in Eagles Shadow and/or Drunken Master would be gimmies. But there is literally no headliner here. Yea I’m going to buy it, though.

Top Gun: Maverick is one of the best looking 4k discs I've ever seen. I can see details in 4k that were not visible when I saw it in the theater. Also a bunch of the plane sequences including 90% of the last 45min are in 1.90:1 aspect ratio, which is fuckin sickkkk.

Unfortunately the bonus features mostly suck. :(

I can't confirm because I do not have a BRD drive, but this not work?

Edit: Oh yeah and it wouldn't hurt to have AnyDVD HD installed.

I'll check out that AnyDVD thing. The way blu-ray drives work is that they give you a certain number of times you can change the disc region, after which you're locked into whatever you picked last. That's just telling VLC what region it is, I'd need to tell the drive as well. Just an all around lovely business practice that does much more harm than good.

EDIT: AnyDVD costs 90 bux which is LOL but I found "Leawo Player" which does it in software for free (albeit with gaudy ads and a not-so-great UI).

tbf it's all people who pre-ordered the movie, so there's some bias for sure, so I'd still wait for some pro reviews in a few weeks if you're apprehensive.

I went to but a Criterion Collection Blu-ray from the Barnes and Noble Criterion Collection sale only to realize on my way out of the store that I had accidentally bought a 4k by mistake :(. I don’t even own a 4k tv. Why didn’t they make the 4k cases a different color or shape?

Shouldn’t be a problem. Criterion usually includes the regular Bluray with the UHD, so you can keep that and use the UHD when/if you finally upgrade.

As for why they didn’t make a difference in cases, probably because Criterion is known for those particular clear cases and it’s part of their branding. Would’ve been easier to just switch to black cases like everyone else does for their UHDs.

They made the Caesar shorter when they switched to Blu-ray, they should’ve gone even shorter for 4k

If you don't already have a drive, try to get one from the list at the bottom of this page. Those can be flashed to an alternate firmware to rip UHDs. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18856

I already have MakeMKV but only rip DVDs, my hard drive would buckle under the weight of all those uncompressed blu-rays. I use my laptop as a blu-ray player because I'm a college student who doesn't own a TV but does own a projector.
