Since the US bundle version was cropped and in wrong aspect ratio, hopefully this will be a quality transfer.

I don't know if reliable, but they say it's from a new HD master made from an "original uncut negative". "Original negative" I doubt, but as long as it's a good scan from decent 35mm material...

Also, since '84 is releasing this uncut edition, I wonder if that means that the previously announced release from Platinum Cult Edition will be the heavily censored German version...

I won't buy that one...i was really upset when their mediabook of Lionheart arrived. The quality was just horrible!

The disc is still made by Oliver "DigiDreams" / "Platinum Cult" / "Moontrap" Krekel

Aye and I'll be f*cked if that idiot's getting any of my cash.

[UniSol GR77]

Well, at least we're getting more Lundgren on BD.
Fingers crossed....................................

The Japanese have a new DVD release made from a new HD master so it's possible there was an HD master produced to be distributed worldwide.

Even if Mr. Krekel is not directly responsible for the transfer or the processing of the master for the licensor, chances are we could get at least some of these "treats" for the '84 disc (all of these things happened frequently on previous releases he was involved):

- DNR/Autoclean (even on top of a perfectly alright master)
- Low bitrate + compressionartifacts (maybe a main-profile encode, again)
- Contrast-boost/color-shift (red)
- lossy audio (confirmed)
- out-of-sync audio
- no subtitles (confirmed)

I will just wait for screenshots/reviews. Even if its acceptable i won't buy the overpriced mediabook and just get the standard-release.

By the way, talking about Contrast: Oliver Krekel recently uploaded this (he is the guy on the keyboard/guitar! I'm not kidding):

I would have never clicked on this thread if Krakel was referenced in the title.

Seen too many screwups from´84 and they often license the same transfer as Platinum cult so I'll wait for reviews/proof

Beautifully written. It is exactly like that!

Andrew, I hear you are an avid collector and own all of the PCE releases? How cool is that? Pretty cool!

Since you seem to be on you and you with the maker, could tell us a bit about the upcoming release? We'Re Waiting!!!!1

These are early screenshots from Platinum Cult posted two months ago...

There you have it: Except for the correct aspect ratio everything else is your typical Krekel-Digi-Nightmares-travesty. Red boost and DNR to the max. If it did not have the cropped image the US-BD would win big time.

Just the usual bliblablubb, hate and envy. Show me a better uncut release worldwide.
