Who knows? And I’m not saying that facetiously, I myself cannot fathom why Lionsgate went down this filmout route.

It did help with the CG blood.

The extra grain and the slightly softer picture make it look a little less fake.

They contacted me, I don't otherwise bug them.

Inside connections are wasted on the schmoozeless.

Hell yes, especially since Rambo II was a "5.1" remix from mono. Just ugh.

Well, these will have Atmos so you won't have to worry about nasty old OG audio.

Hey, I always listen to 70MM tracks when ported as well.

How long until we maybe get an official announcement from the people working on the new 4k box set?

The people working on the boxset don't post on here, that's why they aksed me to tease it. As it's been shunted into the middle of next year you're not going to get any official PR for many months yet.

Do you know if there's any chance of the U.S. finally getting a release of the extended/international cut of Last Blood?

That’s really disappointing I guess it’s because of the upcoming rocky uhd set not surprised though this is making wonder about another set what’s going on with the updated Highlander the series complete series blu ray set does anybody know?

There will be cuts plural of Last Blood on this new set. I don't know which cut because I'm majorly confused about which cut is which anyway!

Will they get the Rambo III Russian translation subtitles correct this time?

since this will be released as a "boxset" (followed by individual releases I'm assuming) do you have any information regarding "tat"? The US best buy steelbook exclusive set was pretty sweet even though I missed, it's been sold out for a while now. Will it be anything like that or will they go with a more plain/basic cardboard packaging on this re-release?

This is literally the greatest thing I’ve ever read in these forums. Thanks for the LOL!!

hmm, so it sounds like there is apparently a new RAMBO set in the works w/ new transfers? is this what I'm reading or is it all wishful thinking? if so when is this expected?
