[DawnShadow]

O-RING EXCLUSIVE TO THE UMBRELLA WEBSTORE!

Carl's life is a minefield. Dave's in charge of damage control.

A riotous rollercoaster of murder and mayhem set in multicultural inner Melbourne, this hit Australian comedy-thriller stars Sam Neill as Carl, a fortyish no-hoper whose takes a job as a cook in a seedy nightclub to escape his cantankerous mother. A flirtation with fetching barmaid Sophie (Zoe Carides) - who is engaged to the nightclub owner - lands Carl on the wrong side of a viscous bouncer but when attacked by his drug-dealing Turkish kitchenhand, Carl inflicts a grievous form of self-defence that sparks a deepening gangland feud. Best mate Dave (John Clarke) is soon employed as Carl's protector - and gravedigger - as a band of cutthroats block Carl's path to his bartending sweetheart.

Finally! Day one for me.

What is an O-ring? I have seen this offered on other Umbrella releases.

[BIGRED1977]

A slip case

[greycellgreen]

I’ve always had a big soft spot for this film. Sam Neill and John Clarke together are fantastic. Good mates hanging out. Looking fwd to seeing the new transfer. I’ll definitely pick it up.

[Anamnesis]

Hell. Yes.

[Vizsla]

I like the Umbrella webstore exclusive slipcover, but I especially like the reversible wrap.

Sounds like the Neil/Clarke commentary was recorded watching a PAL copy of the film, and no one has pitch-corrected it here. Not a big deal, but hard to get used to the deeeep voices.

Anyone ordered this from JB Hi-Fi NZ at any point? Just curious if they are selling it with the slipcover as pictured on their site.

I believe the slipcover was an Umbrella store exclusive, that's where I ordered my copy from. In saying that, I picked up "A Bittersweet Life" off the shelf at JB and it had a slip, I was fully expecting the standard edition not to have one.

I'll probably drop in to JB Hi-Fi on the weekend, I'll see if I can find a copy and let you know if it has a slip

Thanks, that would be greatly appreciated. It was definitely advertised as a website exclusive but it wouldn't be the first time something odd like this happened.

Sorry, two copies on the shelf and neither had a slip. Just standard Sunburnt Screens releases.
