Go ahead punk, make my Father's Day!

Nice, that only leaves The Dead Pool left to come out. Hope they pack that with the documentary in the Ultimate collection. Looks like buying these double features separately works out cheeaper than buying the set.

Some people have split it out of the box set. You can get it for around $23 plus shipping at Amazon.

Are these the same transfers from the original box set? Are they the same quality? I would hope that being cheaper and boxed in a double feature that the picture wouldn't be cheapened.

Anyone have the DH/MF set and is the picture just as good?


Thanks!

Just got it today. 2 disc set, not a flipper.

The Enforcer has commentary by Director James Fargo. 2 featrurettes The Business End:Viloence In The Cinema and Harry Callahan/Clint Eastwood Something Special in Films Dolby True HD

Sudden Impact has commentary by historian/Eastwood biographer Richard Schiickel and the featureette The Evolution of Clint Eastwood Dolby Digital

Haven't watched them yet but there are warnings on the back that the extras may be in SD.

With the exception of Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, the remainder of the films are on BD-25s. They all have TrueHD 5.1 audio and look pretty good, although I think the first two movies look better than the rest. In any event they are significantly improved over the DVDs.

They all have the grain intact and don't appear to use any DNR. So all of the "double feature" discs are just two BD-25 movies on a single BD-50. I don't see any reason to think that these versions are any different than what I have on the Dirty Harry Boxset version.

These movies are what catalog titles should look like on BD, so rest assured that you will enjoy them.

This is not a flipper. There are 2 discs, 1 with each movie plus the extras I described above. Now maybe the earlier set with all the movies had flippers. This is not that release, this is the release coming out on Tues, shipped early from the WB store.

Only 1 says its True HD on the back as I noted above. The other does not, it says Dolby Digital 5.1

Ya..WB knows better. I just wish Universal would take notice. I like the double features that WB has been putting out. It would have been even better if it was a digi-book but I knew it wouldn't happen, same with Batman Returns.

I don't know how much better WB knows with that massive Eastwood box set only available on DVD so far. I have the Dirty Harry Digibook. I think the first 2 were the best of the 5. But I will probably get the 2 I don't have, Dead Pool and Magnum Force, from the UK on my next order since for some reason they have all the individuals available and here they don't. Again WB, whyyyyyyyyyy?

[jetthead]

If I had to guess, I'd say the put The Dead Pool in a Double Feature with The Gauntlet.

Nice.

I just compared the SUDDEN IMPACT Blu-Ray to my old 1980s copy of a video rental. The video is fuzzy as hell from start to finish, but I have no trouble seeing things... whereas, the Blu-Ray, in pretty much EVERY scene shot at night, is TOO DAMN DARK. I know from previous experience with a growing number of discs that this is not a matter of my player or my TV, but THE DISCS. How is it a small but growing number of otherwise crystal-clear discs are processed so you CAN'T SEE what you're looking at in scenes shot at night?

DIRTY HARRY has the same problem, but by comparison, there's not anywhere near as many night-time shots in that film.

I've seen this with at least 2 other Warner Bros. discs, and at least 1 from Shout Factory.

It's too dark. I agree. I saw the film projected in the theater a
few times when it was new, and the dark wasn't this dark.

Whoever graded the blu-ray transfer forgot to turn the backlight
on. This happens a lot.
