Can't believe there wasn't a Bruce Campbell thread already.

Another one for the DVD section is In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory.

He was in an episode of season four of Charmed.

^I've got to go back and check through the TV shows he's been in. I see there's some international releases of The Librarians and such, as well as some DVDs of other shows. Some movies aren't in the database yet either.

I was under the impression there was quite a bit of Bruce that needed to be on Blu but now... outside some of the TV shows (which may have been edited on tape) there's not really much left that demands a Blu release. I would buy his 2000's TV films but I know I'm in a minority. I'd love some reprints of his 90's films too since I'm missing most of them.

Guess I can bother Disney for the TV Love Bug remake.

Does anyone know if the 4K edition of The Quick and the Dead include the deleted Bruce cameos? I see one deleted scene listed in this site's review is for the wedding which was supposed to involve Bruce, but I can't find a answer.

Really annoys me they copped out of doing Burn Notice on Blu Ray. Just season 2 and the fall of Sam Axe.

Would love a full Blu Ray set of that show.

Screen Media will be releasing this to Blu-ray early next year.

Terminal Invasion is coming to Blu from Kino!

Mikezilla3k · 02-10-2023, 10:57 PM

Might want to include the UK 4K of Evil Dead and the Italian 4K of 2 since they're better than the US releases:

and this Double Feature with Mindwarp since it's not OOP:

Better in what way?

Correctly pitched audio for 1 as well as having the 1.85:1 aspect ratio and more bonus features on the Blu-Ray.

As for 2, better compression.

The US releases aren't necessarily bad, and I'd like to keep the list as relevant to the sub-forum as possible, though you do make good points. Recommending superior foreign editions is part of the discussion. If I decide to work it into the OP I will. Moontrap also has a better release in Germany.
Things like The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness can also be tricky since there isn't really a single definitive release worldwide. I could have listed the Best Buy exclusive or the Groovy Collection.

As for Mindwarp, it's just easier to direct to the solo release to single out which film he actually appears in. The BD database makes it easy enough to see what other editions are available if anyone actually uses this thread to shop. But again, recommending other releases is part of the discussion. This thread was dead since Oct 2021, so discussion is welcomed.

I suppose I could add documentaries, since Invaluable is getting a release from Synapse. I know he was in To Hell and Back, anyone know of any others?

Per Campbell’s If Chins Could Kill: Pat Hingle was being demanding re: his character’s motivations so Raimi had wardrobe dress the visiting Campbell and they filmed a throwaway scene to placate Hingle. Because it’s a bogus scene it’s doubtful the footage was ever even cut together, as opposed to most deleted scenes which come from workprints or TV edits or whatever.

As for adding to this thread: he’s actually a billed castmember in the opening credits of Spider-Man 3 so it’s not really a cameo appearance, ti be extremely pedantic.

Yeah, I remember reading recently that his appearance in TQATD was never really supposed to be a scene. Thanks for clarifying the story behind it.

Eh, he gets top billing in Intruder despite not appearing until the last minutes. That section is basically for "one scene and out".
