You really go all out on beclowning yourself on this forum ever day, don't you?

Just for the heck of it I looked it up, would cost $30 if you were to buy new:

So even if you don't like you are complaining about getting something for free that costs $30 new, heh. Also received a 4.5/5 star review.

Bananaman magnet DF prob will do it for u PM them, probably with 2 movie order. [emoji16]

You are now.

[WoodyO]

I had to Google "beclown" to see if it was even a real word. Too bad that ultra-rich genius, Vampiro X, wasn't around to help.

Hmm. I think Pablo swiped the BDs of The Carrier headed to DF!

Kill or Be Killed:


The Disc and Cover:

Professionally done...anyone saying otherwise is full of it. The same case, cover art and disc art as you will find in Code Red releases.

The Movie:

Its awesome...words will not do it justice . The action sequences are very well done.

PQ:

As another member mentioned, the first few minutes are very rough with a lots of specs, lines, debris and obvious print damage. It does improve greatly, but there're white specs, very thin green vertical lines and dirt present through the entire presentation. Once you get used to it...not distracting.

The good news...looks like film and looks like HD, no doubt. It's an organic transfer that has not been scrubbed. The presentation does not suffer from any of the anomalies that often plage releases that have been manipulated excessively by digital tools.

It is a stable video presentation that looks like film, as it should. There's plenty of detail throughout. Overall, better than I expected. If you like to nitpick at PQ just move on and buy something else. If you are a fan of movies and film, you will be pleased (assuming your expectations are tempered).

The AQ:

Sounds great...very robust soundtrack, the effects are crystal and so is the dialog. No pops, hisses or cracks.

Extras:

None, other than trailers.

Overall:

Very satisfied with the disc.

It's not only a word.
It's a movie.

This is strictly a DF bashing thread. No actual Blu-ray posts allowed.

Wow. We had completely polar opposite opinions on the actual movie itself. I found it so agonizingly bad that I couldn't even finish watching it. I made it as far as the tournament, then couldn't take it anymore. Simply the worst fight choreography I've ever seen topped off with such over the top sound effects for punches and kicks that it sounded like a spoof. And of course a midget, no karate movie is complete without one.

Maybe intentional and maybe not but it’s not a “serious” martial arts movie . The second movie is even more over the top. Come on...”Chico” is awesome .

[Blu Titan]

Guys please do not post announcements for other labels in this thread .

[Frightener22]

Unfortunately some possible trouble for Dark Force's mystery acquisition. Hopefully it all shakes out:

"BEHIND THE SCENES: NIGHTMARE OF THE ELEMENTS

Before we announce the winner of the Dark Force name that movie contest we have encountered a problem with our latest acquisition. Although the ink is dry on the deal we have just been informed by the lab Fotokem where the film elements of the movie are being stored, that the negative is missing some reels. So on top of all the technical issues we have to deal with on these releases there is also the issue of lost elements. And the latter in terms of a blu-ray release can be fatal. Tomorrow high ranking officials from Dark Force and Code Red will be at Fotokem in hopes of uncovering these lost reels...otherwise our great new acquisition will be all but DEAD.
In the meantime, another clip inside the telecine bay as we continue the restoration process on the 4th retro drive in release of GOD'S BLOODY ACRE and SO SAD ABOUT GLORIA. Both have been coming along very nicely and on schedule."

That sucks. I was excited for this, too. Really hoping it's Grim Prairie Tales, but if it's lost, I guess it doesn't matter.

Anyone have insight into what the mystery announcement is?

Why don't you just say "Bill and I are going over there after lunch". It's not like you're Paramount or Universal with piles of employees and a massive corporate hierarchy.

Right now the announcement is they had something and then they lost it. Unless they find it. Think how much more dramatic that will be - releasing something that was found, lost and then found again! And depending on what it is, the mystery of the vanishing film cans may be more interesting than the lost film itself. Especially if it's Ghost Dad.
