Extreme Prejudice (1987) Vestron Video/Lionsgate May 2022

[dawnofdave]

My pre-order just arrived from Best Buy without a slipcover. Anyone else have this problem? I find it unlikely that this is the first Vestron release from Lionsgate that doesn't come with a slipcover.

Mine came with a slip.

Where do you live, DOD? Someone in Canada mentioned they got their copy of Candyman 3 right when it came out without a slip.

I wouldn't say not getting a slipcover is technically a problem because, there's nothing wrong with the Blu-ray. It's just your copy didn't have a slipcover.

A product with missing parts is a problem. I didn't purchase "just a disc".

You got the case, cover art & disc. The slipcovers, while nice, aren’t considered an important part of the package. It’s why places like Barnes & Noble toss them out (I’ve seen this myself when in store on a new release day).

They do serve a purpose though. If it wasn't for the slipcover, surely the cover art in my copy with its cheaper than shit eco case would have been creased or ripped. Now I'll toss it in a box for a while and eventually throw it on eBay once it becomes scarce enough to make it worth my while.

Speak for yourself. Maybe YOU don't consider them important but other people do. Especially people who have every single Vestron release with slipcovers on them and now one that doesn't. If you bought a car and it was missing floormats, would you be like, "Well, I got an engine and tires" and not be annoyed?

You bought a copy of Extreme Prejudice. A slipcover was never guaranteed.

I bought a brand new Vestron release in the original pressing. A slipcover is always expected. Complete packaging is part of physical media.

All copies doesn't have slipcovers. Some do and some don't. It depends on where it's purchased from, and which copies the retailer had received in stock. If you return it to Best Buy, and reorder the movie from another retailer, you may get one with a slipcover. With Best Buy, it's a hit and miss with them.

It’ll be interesting to see what the Studio Canal version looks like when it’s released in the UK.

Exactly. I'm gonna wait for a comparison before pulling the trigger on this one.

How do the supplements and reported specs line up between the two editions???

The version on the Vestron release starts with the new Studio Canal logo, so I would assume they will probably be the same transfer, and just the encodes will be different.

But as bad as some Vestron releases are (many have been bested by overseas transfers/encodes even licensed from Lionsgate) nothing would surprise me...

The ones listed for the UK release (at Amazon UK at least) appear to match the supplements on the Vestron release exactly...minus the Walter Hill Interview.

[Lou24]

It looks like UK version drops the interview with Walter Hill, checked on Amazon and HMV and neither list it but we won’t know for sure until someone has it in their hands, but you do get some art cards…..

Hahahahahahahaha

Yeah you did. A cardboard cover isn't a "missing part."

If you like paper so much, buy the poster.

Grabbed this last night and threw away the blu-ray disc/case. I'm just collecting the slips in this little display I got don't really need the movies themselves. If I bought this and it didn't come with the slip I'd have no use for it. Definitely would be getting a refund.

Sure you would, I guess?

I'm not. O'Neal was the much bigger star, and Academy Award-nomineee, after the success of Love Story. He'd also worked with Kubrick and Bogdanovich. Nolte didn't begin to gain real notoriety until a year or two later with North Dallas Forty then for real with 48 Hours.

Or in store. My store had several Dementia 13 at release
