ABC's of Death 2 (Monster Pictures) - Blu-ray Forum

melonhed · 03-24-2015, 02:02 AM

I don't think there is a thread for this and feel free to delete if there is.

Release date: 23rd March 2015
Purchase link:amazon.co.uk/Abcs-Death-2-Blu-ray/dp/B00QRT9L62/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427162405&sr=8-1&keywords=abcs+of+death+2

Anyone pick this up in HMV today? I was looking at it today and I couldn't find any special features on the back, does anyone know if it has any?

Saw the first one for the first time this week!! Rememer being recommended to see this 2 years ago, and had placed it on my rental list list ever since and it only just came!
A lot of fun! Especially as i am fan of Spanish and Japanese horror.
Won't be buying the second film, but really want to see it via rental.
Pity the sequel hasn't come with extras, The first film had a whole second disc of extras ( I rented the dvd as visiting my parents for a week) and didn't see any of them . Wished I did now.

So the bluray has no features?

The Amazon listing shows:

Extras
Making of documentary,
Director commentaries,
trailers and more...

But, who knows until we see the back of a case or get more details.

Did the Blu of ABC's of Death have extras? Considering picking up both at some point, so would be good to know

I was going off what you said, not sure if there is - but from what the young gentleman has said about this post - looks like there is.

Maybe not - you know how bad Amazon can be sometimes!!!

Ahh - wish I was a youngster, but I'm an old fart - 1999 was a reference to my favourite 70's flared trousers space serial

Maybe we should mail the distributors and see if there are any extras... worth a shot (or mail) in the dark... maybe?

If it's anything like the Australian release, the only extras are 6 trailers (including one for ABC2).

melonhed · 03-26-2015, 10:19 PM

Yeah, the UK version of the first film had all the features from the US blu. I saw the 2nd one in HMV and it didn't specify any features but maybe that's because they just didn't fit on the case.

Davidian · 03-27-2015, 12:24 AM

Just watched this and it is by far and away superior to the original. Whereas the original only had a handful of decent segments (and that's being kind), part 2 has only a handful of misfires. There really are some fantastic segments. The first five are worth the price of admission alone!

This collection comes highly recommended!

UK version has trailers only as extras - feature plus Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla, Gun Woman, Thanatamorphose and a couple of others (all Monster Pictures releases) that I forget sorry! - likely matching the Australian release.

Its running time is listed on the case as 86min (!) but is in fact 122:11 - in line with the Amazon US listing but IMDB states 125min... Does anyone have the US version to confirm the running time? Have ordered myself a copy but will take a couple of weeks to arrive :-)
