Idiots deserve pain and suffering.

who ae you referring to?the guy who complained or Icon? because i know you are quite a fan of incorrect aspect ratios

[Markgway]

We take great pride in our DVD and Blu-ray releases and always do our
utmost to ensure that they are of the best possible quality...........We share your disappointment at not being able to release this film in its original ratio and can only apologise for any frustration or
disappointment this may have caused.

So obtain the new master and recall the bogus Blus (ala Gladiator)? I mean, they would if they actually CARED that much, right??

[bradavon]

El Mariachi is impressive as a debut but otherwise pretty dull, Desperado is excellent OUATIM rubbish.

it's the same transfer as the old release apparently.

Memento anniversary review...sounds like a decent upgrade

But there's some controversy about the black and white scenes because they have a lot less detail/definition than the last BD release.

The Chronoloigical cut isnt on there - is it on the UK BD?

[bradavon]

It's definitely not an Easter egg?

[romerojpg]

Why the hell would anyone want to watch a shit edit that ruins the films only great thing, the gimmick of editing

[grim_tales]

It's definitely not an Easter egg?

On the USA BD apparently not.
Well Romero sometimes I'm not quite sure of the story so maybe watching it in order would make more sense

[romerojpg]

Thats the point of the film, to be mental and make your brain hurt a bit thinking about it all

Beverley Hills Cop out in May (usa)

Fantastic but where's Part 2? Both are essential purchases. Part 3 is just awful, awful PG-13 awful.

Extras: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=5977

Paramount missed a trick by not issuing a box set (no doubt that'll come later once everyone has bought the single release(s))

BHC3 isn't PG-13. Contains a fair amount of strong language.

Re. Lethal Weapon Collection.

The packaging/case I received is a bit wider than the ones I saw on shelves in HMV (which looked like a regular single case). Mine is more the size of two cases, so although the discs are still awkwardly cramped, it's perhaps not as bad as I thought it would be.

Fair amount of extras/docs but Warners missed a trick by not including Mel's hilarious (from memory) video diaries for Parts 2 and 3. Especially strange since Richard Donner mentions their inclusion on one of his (vague) commentaries. I hope they don't turn out to be a USA exclusive.

[grim_tales]

Is a USA version of the boxset coming too?
I'll wait til it goes down in price again before buying.

Agreed except BHC3 is so awful I'd prefer separate releases. As BHC3 is so hated (by Murphy too), maybe Paramount knew this and aren't releasing a box set. I own all 3 on DVD but only part 3 because the box set was under a tenner.

BHC3 isn't PG-13. Contains a fair amount of strong language.

I wasn't really being literal, just more the feel of the film. It feels very family friendly. I've possibly only seen a TV edit. Thanks though.

Next year. They're waiting so they can brand it 25th Anniversary.

I haven't seen it in ages. Enjoyed it at the cinema though.

I know what you mean what with the theme park setting and generally light tone. Would've been a PG-13 without the swearing. I know that the first film had a load more 'fucks' than either 2 or 3.

I didnt know that, thanks
May still go for the UK one though if its cheap, it'll be fine.

Now that would be interesting if it was the longer Chinese cut that never came out with Chinese dialogue/subs and more fights...

[bradavon]

I'd be surprised if you would now. I wouldn't really care but the first two are just so good.

I know that the first film had a load more 'fucks' than either 2 or 3.

The sequel is more of a comedy. I love both equally.

[Markgway]

The Medallion isn't good, but I didn't hate it like some.
