I am now aware of the driver as a thing I need to get, haven't bought import 4k before let alone blind buying, but this feels like a pretty good choice for it.

I wish I liked Time Bandits more than I do. The Baron Munchausen UHD was excellent.

I think that's applicable to every Renny Harlin film. I haven't seen a single one that is good, but I've loved and enjoyed every one I've watched. I even think Cutthroat Island is fun.

Even though they straight up ran out of money and had to do that whack Invisible Freddy kill, Dream Master is still underrated as hell. The time loop dream sequence is so good, super Anxiety Dream-y.

100%, it’s the best sequel after Dream Warriors. You could make a case for New Nightmare but it’s just not as fun to watch.

Adventures of Ford Fairlane is some top tier Harlin, and it features Robert Englund, speaking of Freddy.

Was there a subsequent T2 blu-ray that was considered better quality? Or maybe I'm just thinking of the first Terminator. Regular blu-ray I mean, not 4K.

I mentioned this a page or two back but the Cliffhanger steelbooks is in the same line of recent steelbooks along with Air Force One that actually does come with a Dolby Vision upgrade, the previous UHD was only HDR10. So keep that in mind if you do Dolby Vision, may as well go with the steelbook.

If you want T1 and T2 on home video in HD that are easy to get these are the two to own:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Terminator-Blu-ray/61372/
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Terminator-2-Judgment-Day-Blu-ray/127046/

There are other T2 releases with funky PQ, but this particular one is the good one comparatively.

Good to know, thanks! I've got that Terminator release, but for T2 I've got the old 2010 T2 / Total Recall 2-pack, which is the 2006 disc I see. Looks like I'm due for a T2 upgrade, will grab that 2015 version.

New Nightmare is my favorite elm street movie. The concept is just fun to me and so are the little Easter eggs and the way it plays out.

But after dream warriors yeah Dream Master is badass.

Now, for the proper experience you just need to rip it and add the original mono soundtrack from the laserdisc. ;)

I do partake in stuff like that for Star Wars anyway. Also John Woo's The Killer. Are Terminator's added sounds etc that bad/noticeable? And how about T2? I haven't heard as much fan scuttlebutt on it.

Edit: found a comparison for Terminator 1 anyway, gun sounds mainly? I am tempted to dabble online for this now.

I was just reading about Sony's dubtitles on the various Godzilla discs I have earlier too. GMK, the greatest film ever made deserves a flawless translation.

Also ordered the El Santo box set that Indicator put out last month. I assume the films are loving trash.
