Eww.

THS · 10-10-2022, 10:36 AM

Ordered. Now for a 4K Steelbook of the original, to complete my collection!

MifuneFan · 10-10-2022, 03:04 PM

I like it. Has an old pulp comic book look to it.

edit: I do prefer the variant colors a little more though

Kong looks ripped on that steelbook.

esmeron · 10-10-2022, 04:50 PM

Love artwork but now that i saw amaray artwork now i wanna have that one on steelbook.

Subiestieve · 10-10-2022, 06:51 PM

I dig the artwork on this. Hoping the PQ looks as good

Eschenpod · 10-10-2022, 07:58 PM

I like the amaray artwork better but prefer steelbooks in general, oh well.

hasslein · 10-11-2022, 02:45 AM

You guys are saying you like this artwork better? I think it is the worst cover ever.

Stanis · 10-11-2022, 02:59 AM

Both cover arts are really bad, Paramount eat your heart out!

John Earls Umbrella · 10-11-2022, 08:53 AM

I think both are abysmal. Missed opportunity.

Petey Parker · 10-11-2022, 12:52 PM

Should have just had this be the cover

gkolb · 10-12-2022, 02:07 AM

Ha ha! Grodin for the win!

Robopredinator · 10-12-2022, 02:11 AM

Will these have a US release or should I just go ahead and order from Zavvi?

Much appreciated! I have the Scream Factory release - I guess I'll double-dip on this UK release since I love this movie.

Robopredinator · 10-16-2022, 03:47 AM

Just my luck - sold out. I thought I'd wait 'til the weekend to put in my preorder as I didn't think it would sell out.

Yeah I find it kind of crazy. If I cant get the steelbook Im not interested in this release because the damn ratings logos bother the hell out of me.

The grading is a bit suspect tho. Its got that Ritrovada look. Its funny that SC felt the urge to specify in the release info that Paramount did the grading probably because of Ritrovada past reputation.

Remember it's Paramount's movie in the US though, not Studio Canal's, and Shout Factory would have to go through Paramount to release it on 4K UHD. So far, only Kino Lorber has released 4K UHD's licensed from Paramount (AFAIK).
