Most of the catalogue titles that are being released quickly on the format are ones that have already received a remaster over the last few years. The only studios I can think that are doing fresh ones is Paramount and WB.

I am curious to see how American Psycho and Punisher turns out though since the BD’s are so ugly.

I own them too, and as is typical for SC the underlying transfers are lovely (though III is misframed, isn't it?) but the encodes have some weirdness going on. If the UHDs build on that with decent HDR passes and proper compression these are going to look great.

I think it was part II

Whichever one, I think they goofed. Hopefully that gets fixed for the UHD.

Let's hope.

Overall, you just never know.

Yep, anything could happen with any release but I think we’ll ok. Watch them turn out awful lol

II has the framing issue I believe and some say III was too bright. Compared to my LG release they look much better especially First Blood. Give me 4K resolution with subtle HDR and I’ll be strapping on my 80’s headband.

I want an official announcement for these.

Viking61 · 09-16-2018, 06:38 AM

Best Buy, Barnes & Noble and blowitoutahere/deepdiscount/wowhd have all removed these three from their 4K UHD listing. Is it not happening after all?

Nothing is over! Nothing!

They might be holding back for the next and final Rambo, which will start filming soon and it wasn't a sure thing when these were leaked.

No. Retailer listings are a good clue something's in the works, but people should stop treating them as gospel.

He's saying,"I want the UHD! I want the UHD!" He keeps calling my name! "I want the UHD, Johnny! I wanna watch my disc!" I said "With what? I can't find the f&$kin' pre-order! I can't find the pre-order!"

My god.. that's almost exactly my reaction.

Probably going to wait for V's theatrical release.

They're still listed on Amazon.fr for 11/14 but who knows

brainofj72 · 09-17-2018, 04:11 AM

They’re still on Bullmoose too. I really wouldn’t get too worried yet just because some retailer listings disappeared. That’s not uncommon.

The Digitalbits only lists the first three Rambo movies

If you are talking about the quote in the first post, it mentions four.

What’s more, we’ve heard from our sources that it’s likely the Rambo films – First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), and Rambo (2008) – will all be coming to the format from Lionsgate before the end of the year. Of course, we’ve updated our 4K Ultra HD Release List here at The Bits accordingly.
