Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[OceanBlue]

Looking forward to the July announcements a week on Monday (plenty of various boutique label announcements at the end of this month/beginning of May).

Awww yes, I remember that scene!

Any chance one of those 13 contains the number 13 in its title?

[MifuneFan]

Haven't found new leaks yet but these are my preliminary guesses for some, mostly based on existing leaks:

Blaxploitation Classics Volume 2 (~6 films)
Hard Boiled and/or City on Fire 4K
Nosferatu the Vampyre 4K
The Beastmaster 4K
Fade to Black 4K

I imagine with 13-14 titles we're likely getting a box set. I think we can eliminate a new Shaw Classics set since that alone could be around 12 movies. It's possible we could see the Jet Li 4K collection come out.

Blaxploitation classics set volume 2 already, but I just pre-ordered volume 1 back in March doggone it Shout! Factory!! I will be pre-ordering the John Woo titles though as those are day one purchases for me. Same with that Jet Li set if that gets announced.

These are just my guesses/predictions, so they could be completely wrong. Some news outlets did say the Blaxploitation Vol. 2 set would come later this Summer when the first was announced, so if so, it would probably be for July or August. Even if it gets announced, they're not really super limited or anything, so no rush to pick it up right away if you need to prioritize other stuff first.

I actually just logged on to see if there was some kind of update on a Golden Princess release, or they just bought them to stream.

Thanks for posting this and easing my concerns. I just wish Angel Terminators 1 and 2 were on that list, but this is a perfect start of releases.

There should be more as well. The deal is said to be for the entire 156-film Golden Princes library.

Are you secretly hoping the majority of the 13 are HK?

Well who knows I’m wondering what Blaxploitation titles are going to be in the volume 2 set. If Leadbelly, and The Mack shows up in volume 2 I will go crazy as Leadbelly is either with Criterion, or Shout! Factory, but I just don’t see Criterion doing either of them as blaxploitation films seem more up Shout! Factory’s alley, and WAC’s too of course. It has been noted that The Mack is no longer with WAC, and in turn WB so I’m guessing it’s with Shout! Factory. However, I’m probably going to wait on buying volume 2 as I’m prioritizing the John Woo, and Jet Li stuff first, and foremost. I’m looking forward to getting my volume 1 Blaxploitation set delivered next month though.

It has been an awesome year already for me I got my second most wanted blaxploitation title announced on Blu-Ray that being Three the Hard Way, and this blaxploitation volume 1 set is going to look awesome in my collection. Not to mention my most wanted 80’s Paramount title is finally coming to Blu-Ray, and 4K that being The Fabulous Stains a title I have been wanting a US Blu-Ray of for a long time.

I wonder what other big things are happening this year

Toku is pretty much non-existent, for Heisei at least. I'm kinda upset I bought Shout's releases knowing in the back of my mind they won't represent the entire Heisei era for Rider.

I was so wishing for OOO, Double/W, and Kiva to get released at some point, but I've given up. Those were my favorite Riders I completed watching.

It would be nice to see more Toku representation, especially Heisei Rider, but I'm loving your Golden Princess Licensing and have all The Shaw Brothers Boxsets; here's hoping for Angel Terminators 2 and 1 because overall, Girls with Guns is universally requested in the sub-genre of HK/Taiwan Cinema.

I'm also hoping everyone gets at least some announcement that excites them and thank you for all the great releases, not much of a horror fan but I grew up loving The F13th Franchise and love my boxset, beautiful restorations .

I’m hoping we get some late 90’s early 2000’s horror movies.

I’m actually hoping that there’s only 2-3 just for my wallets sake.

Yeah, about that. Happens a lot.

I still find it funny that after over a decade of discussion on the topic, people still expect Shout! to magically change their ways and start offering legit sales (a la Arrow and Criterion 50%), when time after time, these site sales are always basically dropping titles by a few bucks, throwing in some random swag and lately offering a small percentage of cash back (which can not be used on New or Upcoming Releases).

I have plenty of issues with Shout but as far as their sales go, even though they are very inconsistent with having good deals, they are infinitely better than the ones they had been doing maybe like 5 or more years ago. So they have improved and there are deals to be had but you do have to look around to find them.
