King Kong (1976) Special Edition - Blu-ray Forum

Galactus123 · 05-06-2022, 03:20 PM

I didn't see a thread about this. Release date is May 25. It has two discs and looks like the extended version is included. This release is by Sinister Film. I can't find much info about this.

No StudioCanal logo, so could be a boot.

Doesn't matter, Italian Sinister Films is a bootleg outfit and Amazon IT peddles their stuff just as much as Amazon ES peddles the likes of Resen and Llamentol. They really don't care.

I'm suprised that they can sell them then. Maybe they are legal there. I hope we get an official region B release with the extended cut at some point.

Looks like this has been delayed few weeks. It says June 8 on Amazon.

Galactus123 · 06-01-2022, 01:34 PM

I got a message from Amazon that my pre-order has been delayed. New release date is December 31st. I wonder what is happening with this?

I do like that cover even more than that shout factory cover

Probably due to Studio Canal issuing an official release shortly. A new listing on the BBFC website indicates as much. The Sinister release is likely dead in the water now.

Actually this was released few days ago and my copy should arrive soon. It looks like that
new StudioCanal release doesn't have the extended version so this is the only region B release with it.

The BBFC listing states a running time of 192m 54s.

Interesting. I hope that is correct. The 4K steelbook listed on Amazon France has two discs (4K+BD) so looks like it only has the theatrical version.

If there's anything I've learned over the years it's that I would never give much weight to what Amazon states. Wouldn't be much point in having a new BBFC classification if they're not going to do anything with it. It could well be they're putting the theatrical on the 4K and the extended on the blu-ray, unless they're branching them.
