Thanks Eva.

This looks like the Disc 1 of the Il Mare LE (none of the extras have English subs anyway) + The Lake House.

Awesome price for BAT: SE. The PQ is much superior to the original grain heaven DVD, extras are pants though.

I was tempted by DWW but ultimately while annoying (i.e - the English subs for everything) my Korean LE will be fine.

Not seen either so nabbed both at those cheap as pants prices.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Nov 2006, 23:47

Both are fantastic films, very different but very good. Both are very much classics, and both are the best world-wide (DWW for the DTS & BAT for the PQ along with the R1 SE).

BAT: AE is £3 in my local Woolies.

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 28 Nov 2006, 18:31

i've been robbed of 99p!!!!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Nov 2006, 18:54

I think its the SE, it said "Anniversary Edition" anyway. Worth £3 then I would guess Brad?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Nov 2006, 18:56

Yes. It's worth it for double the price. I paid £8 at DVD Pacific a few months back.

It's a classic. The extras amount to a boring commentary and a couple of pants featurettets but the remaster job is a big improvement over the original (which my Dad has). Pity it's not a Warner title as they'd have released it as a 2 Disc SE.

Following on from the Sendit.com James Bond BOGOF £11.89 deal, Asda are selling them at £5.97 each (not BOGOF) delivered, free postage:

http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/asd ... -bond.list

If you want 1 or odd numbers this is even cheaper than the price CD-Wow charge. Then again for only 5p more than Sendit.com it might be a good idea to forget BOGOF and just go with Asda.

Toei's december low priced limited editions are going for real cheap at amazon right now.

For example I just ordered the fifth instalment in the Truck Yarou series. Normal price is 4500 yen. Now: 3000 yen - 25% off for pre-orders - the tax = 2250 yen.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Nov 2006, 23:04

Thanks Hung.

Is there a direct link which gives a list of the cheap titles?

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 28 Nov 2006, 23:09

Yeah.. I'd like to see if there are any with Eng subs.

No. But they're all listed at Toei's website:
http://www.toei-video.co.jp/data/hs/vca ... ewest.html
select the month (12) and scroll down. The first list is the new releases, the second list is the low priced editions.

a few direct amazon search links
Yakuza Papers / Battles Without Honor and Humanity series
New Battles Without Honor or Humanity series
Truck Yaro series
Bee Bop highschool series

Too bad they didn't put out Teruo Ishii pinky violence dvds (still missing two) or Red Peony Gambler series (still missing all

)

Toei has never released a dvd with eng subs

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 30 Nov 2006, 23:23

I'd like to know why Toei is stingy with licencing anime to the West - they hand out the licences for their live-action stuff like it's going out of style. I'd like to see great old school 70's/80's TV shows like Battleship Yamato, Galaxy Express 999, Space Pirate Captain Harlock in their uncut, original language forms w/ English subtitles dammit.

HAHA, that's hardly a bargain. The Western SE cost peanuts now. Eg I paid like £2.49-3.49 for the Predator 1 2-discer.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 01 Dec 2006, 17:41

Thats impressive thats for sure if it was £65 quid it now says £167.06

so that wasa short sale, I would have bought it for that price as its georgous.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Dec 2006, 20:15

Don't you own the Alien head? Why would you want mostly the same DVDs again?

From what I see you get the Alien UEs + the AVP: SE but no ninth UE disc so pretty pointless really, IMO.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 01 Dec 2006, 23:59

it was £65 earlier,a fourteen disc set at japanese prices was a bargain imo but alas bargain over

The 9th Quadrilogy disc was great, especially the Alien/Aliens laserdisc archives. Shame that they truncated the Kermode doco though.

The sets so nice its scary, best versions of Predator 1 and 2 also

I have Alein films a few times al;ready, but this ste is stunning and massive and has some very nice things in it, well worth 60 quid.

Hey,

Is the JP cut of KB2 different to the US edition?

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 05 Dec 2006, 15:24

grim_tales wrote: Is the JP cut of KB2 different to the US edition?

A couple of additional shots (Uma driving the car, Esteban's place, the hookers etc.) just before the Esteban scene. The US cut actually works better here. I believe it's only to make them officially different versions (maybe something to do with the fact that Tarantino himself has rights (afaik) to the japanese cuts).
