I got so excited when I saw a tweet announcing a Blu-ray of Electric Dragon 80,000v until I saw it was UK only :(

I'd be shocked if it was 4k. Seems like that would make it too expensive and even more of a niche item than it already would be.

Great that they split the releases so you don't have to buy the duff 80s ones.

I love AGFA and buy lots of their stuff, but a little observation… so last month’s release Glow is down to 485 units (and worth a buy!!) and will almost definitely sell out by end of year. The release before THAT (Attack of The Beast Creatures) is already fully sold out.

The new limited slipcover release of Shaolin Invincibles + Seven to One has just under 530 copies left. Considering it isn’t even out yet, I think it might be time for these white boys to start upping their slip quantities like VS has done. I ended up sleeping on Attack of The Beast Creatures - thought I could put it off a couple weeks - and I really regret it!

Yet again, it’s just a little slip of cardboard that goes around the case, so maybe it’s okay to wait and get it cheaper???

I just like collecting them because they’re cool, I have lots of blus without slips but if it’s an option and I can afford it then why not?

A friend of mine is asking for the link to where you're buying these. A weird dude, this guy. I don't judge him though, anyway yea if you could just throw out that link I'll pass it along to him.

I've contemplated this as well. Slips and new box art sleeves which some of these movies desperately need (or to break down cumbersome boxsets I have no attachment to and give each movie their own disc case).

I usually just do a cursory search for them and get stores on ebay/etsy

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=custom+4k+slipcovers&_sacat=0
https://www.etsy.com/search?q=blu%20ray%20slipcover&ref=auto-1&as_prefix=blu%20ray%20slipcover

like I said I havent received the one I purchased but if the seller has good product I'll seriously consider a couple more if I have the extra funds. at least for movies I really like.

That eBay link reminded me that’s there a Drive UHD and no US release on the horizon. I should just suck it up and rewatch in on BD, so the 4K can be announced.

JERRY! HELLO!

Man I'd love a slipcover for my 4k of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly since I have them for the other two in the trilogy. But gently caress me, even the custom/bootleg ones that match the KL one are 25$ at the least.

I paid 18$ for the disc itself.

That's what I did a while back. Drive is one of those that I needed to own on 4K. The UHD looks and sounds incredible.

Oddly enough Criterion has probably been the best Region A Golden Harvest distributor in recent years, with the Police Story, Bruce Lee and Once Upon A Time In China box sets.

No, but Kino's releases of Night Gallery have been fresh 2K remasters from interpositives that look great. Only details so far have been that the 70s run will be one box and the reboot(s) from 1989-2003 in the second. Commentaries on all episodes, plus archival interviews.

FYI, this is Kino's UHD slate for 2023 so far...

Released:
Death Wish (1972)
The Italian Job (1969)
Marathon Man

Rawhead Rex - March 28
12 Angry Men (1958) - March 28
Serpico - April 18
The Longest Yard (1974) - May 16
The Night of the Hunter - May 30
To Live and Die in L.A. - May 30

They also just announced the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Stalag 17, Bad Lieutenant, and Face/Off.

Is ALF covering up his wang in that shot, and if so will the Blu-ray finally give us the uncut version we’ve been waiting for since the 90s.

There was some controversy in 2010 when some gag reel footage was leaked. I guess there had been a recent episode of LA Law with a character who had Tourette’s, so the guy who voiced Alf used a bunch of profanities imitating that, including the N-word.

I believe that banned issue of the Alf comic makes it very clear that Alf is uncut.

At this point if they keep releasing them piece meal on UHD im only buying 1, 4, 6, 7 and X. Don’t need to upgrade the rest.

No love for 2 and 3?

I think if I were buying 4K one at a time I’d grab 1-7, but I’m resisting the upgrade since I’m very happy with my blu box. Of the “big three” slasher franchises F13 would be my least favorite so I’m not as obsessive about picking up new versions right away. Since this is the physical media thread and obviously we all have a problem here, I admit I likely will buy them piece meal eventually, since there will definitely be sales I’ll have a hard time resisting :hai:
