Hi guys, just curious, what are the chances of ‘Hard to Kill (1990)’ getting 4K special edition treatment from Shout Factory?

40%. No, 60%. Actually, 80%.

…eh, 20%.

The truth is, none of us could possibly know.

Any chance Scream Factory will release The Babadook on 4K? I know Second Sight did but before I get that version, I'd rather buy it from a US trailer/retailer.

I would not get any more enjoyment from a 4K disc, so I am content with my Blu-rays. It's not an attack on those who want them. Go for it! More power to you! But don't imply that those who don't want it aren't fans. And I do own some 4K discs, but only when it is the only way to get a film I am interested in purchasing. Or if there are extras I want.



Again, I am not attacking people who want them. But if an entire month is nothing but 4K upgrades, some people will be disappointed. I actually am never disappointed in any month's release slate from any distributor. There's plenty being released all the time to tax my budget.

Hello, I think this was a misunderstanding, I wasn't trying to imply at all that the only reason was not liking the film. I was just asking if that was one reason should have been more clear. I was just asking out of curiosity, I was genuinely curious because they said not excited at all. I didn't know it had anything to do with double dipping. So my apologies

[Show spoiler]Putin doesn't know if comrade Segal is worthy of 4K

0% after this shame.

With Arrow releasing a Psycho Collection in the UK (with new 4K restorations of the sequels), presumably we can expect upgrades of II, III and IV from SF by the end of the year.

^^That would be awesome. Suprised, though, that Universal licensed the original Psycho out to Arrow.

No problem, I actually meant to have a line in my post saying that you may not have meant it that way. Sorry I didn't clarify.

Or, better yet, a US Psycho collection counterpart. As much as I want that UK set, I've been burned too many times by Arrow releasing US editions of UK exclusive sets a year after the UK. Won't be easy but I'm sitting this one out.

They might, but it's possible Universal won't licence Psycho in the US, even for a box set. We'll have to wait and see.

It sounds like the UK Psycho Set is limited, so if a US set does come, you'd probably be able to resell for a good amount or close to what you paid.

The kids getting shot is from the movie Postal. No clue which Seagal movie was used for the edit.

Actually, I've changed my mind I'll be preordering.

Ah, OK. It was just an edited GIF.

Honestly, with films of his like Code Of Honor, I was half-convinced it was an actual film of his.......

Once Universal have made their initial bucks from their own editions they seem to be happy to pass on the goodies to others (see also, Waterworld, Carlito's Way).

Not sure what the Seagal film is, but the clips of the kids are from an Uwe Boll film, I believe.

I just found it on google search.

I wish they were happy enough to pass along John Carpenter's "The Thing" to Arrow so we could get a release with the 4.1 audio.
