YES! Great to see the UK is also getting a release for this fantastic film! Now I don't have to import the US version, which is out this out. I'll just wait for this! Thanks for the info Simba, as usual!

Man I love this film.

Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's goin' on in the hood.

Great news! Can't wait to pick this up. Hopefully it gets a decent transfer.

Cover artwork

I do really like that cover art. Gives the film a more prestigous feel as opposed to the 'simple gangsta flick' that the previous cover looked a little like. Not to mention it's nice to see the "Nominated for 2 Academy Awards" on the front - and it'll also no doubt come with a slipcover too which is another bonus.

Poshteh1 · 07-18-2011, 07:57 PM

That's great, that means we'll most prob be getting a slip with it, unlike the US version! Can't wait!

So it seems that EU are using the same cover as in post #1, UK gets a similar effort to Taxi Driver BD ("award series") and the USA gets a full color cover. I like the most the US cover and sure ordered it.

I like the U.S. cover more. They didn't airbrush Ricky out of the cover plus the font is more in tune with the movie (the movie's actual font design). Why should the cover give a more prestigious feel when it's a movie that portrays life on the streets of South Central L.A. in the 80s and early 90s?

Can be ordered, sure, but I'm skeptical as to whether you'll receive it for £5.99 as when it comes back in stock, it'll no longer be in the sale. Hence why they'd have no obligation to sell it to you for £5.99.

As we all know with sales and offers, it's first come first serve.

Don't they honour the order price?
If the price raises while waiting for stock to come in your order price doesnt change
