This is nice, but it's not the 4K and steelbook release to celebrate the film's 25 anniversary that many fans have been hoping for.

[agenda]

F**K the 4k! I'm in for this.

[dallywhitty]

Kinda cool that it's being bundled with You Don't Nomi, even if I had mixed feelings about the documentary itself. But yeah, at this point I'd love someone to take a chance and release it on UHD. And get Paul Verhoeven to record an audio commentary!

Here's hoping that Goddess documentary arrives sooner rather than later.

[tylergfoster]

This isn't a 4K, but it's the newer remaster, I'm sure?

[The Fallen Deity]

We need this masterpiece in 4K goddammit!

[Eschenpod]

UHD or bust.

I don‘t know if there is an unrated Version but the German one is the NC-17-Version (not R-Rated).

F___ YES

Just found out about this while originally checking out amazon.de to see if they’d released The 4th Man on blu. Ordered right away.

Any words on this? Is it any good?

Is the red and black 4K banner printed on the actual media book? Cause that don't look good
Might actually go for the Korean release instead

Maybe there’s another one but the one Korean release that I’ve seen floating around is only a 4k remaster. It’s just a regular blu-ray disk in there. Cool packaging though.

No, it's on a wraparound cardboard j-card that can be taken off

SHOWGIRLS (DT 4K UHD Blu-ray Mediabook) / Zockis Sammelsurium Nr. 2429 - YouTube

I have no idea how to do it sorry, but before I bought it I watched some videos on Youtube, if it helps you.

Anyway the packaging is very nice, matt black with a laminated pink title, on the back there's a poster of "you don't Nomi" without the title.

The film, at least in the 4K disc has no forced subtitles in the original language.

I also read some reviews about the video quality: many complained that the 4K restoration on the 2K disc edited in France by Pathé had lost a lot of colour and contrast (which are definitely part of the film's campy charm).

According to some experts, there is no problem with the 4K disc, the colours are brilliant and the contrast is well calibrated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, the packaging is DVD case sized (unfortunately IMO)

[UnionJackMix]

Thank you for the video (I had to turn the sound off, mygod that voice is irritating!), it looks really good!

Review: Showgirls - 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray [German Import]

Most egregious is the heavy application of noise reduction, which can sometimes be light and arguably forgivable while at other times, excessive and horridly distracting. Interestingly, the DNR is consistent from start to finish with no one scene looking worse than the other, yet it's noticeably grain-free and sterilized right from the opening moments when Nomi hitchhikes a ride to Las Vegas. At first, it seems as though the makeup on Elizabeth Berkley is incredibly thick, but her face is actually devoid of any pores, texture and the small mole on her right cheek is completely missing, as though scrubbed clean with sandpaper and then polished smooth with a heavy amount of wax.

Moreover, the HDR10+ presentation is not one of the stronger releases, but overall contrast shows some appreciable improvement and can be fairly dynamic with brighter, cleaner whites. However, those same whites can also run too hot in a few spots, causing severe blooming and ruining the finer details, most noticeably in the stage lights and the lunch meeting mentioned above. Ironically, specular highlights are tighter for the most part, providing a realistic sheen and vivid sparkle to metallic objects during daylight exteriors. The more noteworthy upgrade is the brightness levels, delivering inky, midnight blacks with impressive gradational differences between the various shades, from various articles of clothing to the objects decorating the background. All the while, the 2.39:1 image maintains excellent visibility within the darkest, blackest shadows, giving the stage shows a good deal of pop.

So that's a big no thanks from me. Not into waxy people.
