To those who have already seen the film: Does this contain any material that could be problematic with the BBFC?

[Mr_Orange]

Looks good, as one might expect from Eureka, but I might wait for the standard release.

[navydavey]

I see Sammo, I pre-order no questions asked.

[Shingster]

Don't expect something akin to Encounters of a Spooky Kind and you may not be disappointed. Just about all the martial arts in the film is in that trailer!

Been a few years since I last saw it, but always had a soft spot for Dead and Deadly, so this is a welcome announcement.

[Jackie Scanlon]

Torn with this - too silly for me and I know I won't ever watch the film again, but those extras are tempting. Unfortunately I'm at a point now financially where I really have to scrutinise my purchases.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Putin you bastard!

Isn't just the slip limited? What does waiting do?

Booklet usually limited as well.

Waiting for standard means a lower price.

Eureka have been gradually increasing their single disc LE prices and they’re now around £19 day one. Many of their standard editions are £15 or in the 2 for £15 on Eureka website from day one.

So if you don’t mind losing a slipcase and booklet whilst waiting a few months you can save a few quid.

Obviously over time the standard version will fall under £10.

[Simon_LDT]

You'll be waiting a long time for anywhere near £10 or under. Those days are gone where Eureka releases would be under £10 consistently. The only titles lately I've seen that cheap have been the Montage ones. Older releases over the last few years seem to hover around £11-12 once they've been out a while.

I think the cheapest you'll get these is if/when Eureka drop them into a 2 for 25 or try your luck on ebay 2nd hand.

[Pochacco]

I love the fact that Eureka has opted to use the original theatrical poster for the slip. Long may that continue.

As for sub £10 Blu's from Eureka there are quite a few on the Deff.com website but not the martial art ones sadly.

I have a Hong Kong poster for the film and there are a few differences.

We've updated our packaging for our forthcoming release of THE DEAD AND THE DEADLY. The O-card Slipcase will now feature brand new artwork by Darren Wheeling, with the original poster artwork now featuring on the inner sleeve.

Reminds me of the art used for Mr. Vampire and Encounter of the Spooky Kind

[Pochacco]

Eureka missed a trick by not releasing this for Halloween.

[Markgway]

There's not a lot of kung fu in this, but if you enjoyed the spooky comedy of Mr. Vampire and Encounter of the Spooky Kind, you should enjoy it.
