The DVD of GBA is almost unwatchable and I appreciate your review of the Blu, because I'd like to watch this film again looking better than what I saw.

Yeah. Dark Force was able to "zap" (targeted removal) most of the really offensive green lines altho some thin ones still there, increase the detail, grain structure, hair removal, increase contrast/dynamic range, and greatly improve color for most of film

Why are there no answers to this question? It's the single most important question in this forum for the past several weeks of posts.

What's going on with Terror Express?

That one was delivered to Bill in a hundred pieces by the Italians. We are undergoing a major reconstruction job with it.

Does this mean subscribers should have already gotten it? I'm not sure if I have yet.

Hmmmm, first time you got my name right. Will be getting Blue Monkey when it comes out. Was a favorite VHS rental back in the day.

So we are getting Rage this week for Sure? And will we be getting Blue Monkey very soon for non subs as well? Thanks

Sometimes lots of detective work is involved in finding good prints. Interestingly, I had an uncut VHS on Media Home Entertainment. It was an early release with black and white art and an orange frame that the early Media titles had. The Media release that came later was a shorter version. I made a copy before selling my uncut print but I can't recall what is different as I last watched it over 10 years ago.

That one looks amazing. Transfer done from the original pristine negative. Our top guy did the color correction as well. Fun movie.

Fun fact:

Not only do club members get items earlier and with swag, but for the same $400 non-club members only get 13 titles at release vs 24 titles at release for club members.

Without question The Banker on disc looks better than the stream currently on Amazon prime, better color and obviously more detail, It also sounds great! I’ll be making a nice double feature with this along with Webb’s previous film Party Line.

Just saying that's a mighty high fee to pay (extra ~$13 per new release - ie ~$30.00 ship vs $16.66 ship) just to spread the $400 over time rather than paying it upfront! You end up with nearly half the Blu rays you could have had for same price if you had joined club.
