Thanks for confirming. Will pick up the 4Ks then anyway since they’ll be cheap this weekend.

And 2Pac sampled ol’ Bruce, too! “That's just the way it is. Aww yeah.”

We've all been complaining about the blacks this whole thread, Bates.

Odd the reviews are saying the blacks are velvety lol.

Geoff D · 11-20-2018, 04:14 PM

This however, stood out like a sore thumb:

It's only there at the start during the prison scene, but still. It made me think I'd burn-in for a second lol

That's been on every version of Rambo: First Blood Part II that I've seen, apart from maybe the bloody awful VHS Pan & Scan release... It looks like some issue with the camera lens, rather than any problem with the transfer. I guess Mr. Cardiff was having an off day.

You'll be a rich man then.

Watched all three movies. Blacks are elevated (black bars perfectly black in all three), but set gamma to 2.4 and the problem becomes insignificant. I’m still amazed how awesome First Blood looks.

It seemed pretty through (AR Media) and covered about 30 titles w/ prices.

There was no mention of any Rambo movies...are we sure these will $8?

It's on the $8 shipper that stores are getting. Stock will be pretty limited though. Only 5 copies of FB and 3 of each sequel.

They will be available online for that price though too, right?

It's been years since I last watched it, since I was a kid, and it wasn't until watching again last night that I realized... First Blood Part II is not a good movie. I wonder if I will feel the same when I rewatch Rambo III.

First Blood still great though. Maybe I should have just bought that one instead of all three.

Noremac Mij · 11-20-2018, 05:14 PM

First Blood is in my top 15. I love Part II, it’s a fantastic action movie and one of the best sequels of all time, as only Jim could write. But part III is a bad movie.

Yeah dude. That's actually more than I was expecting. So good news! Last year many of the titles like Blade Runner 4K were only two per shipper.

Like every year, going to have to get to the store immediately and run straight to the value movie shippers!

So the US releases are the better ones?
