Dirty Harry Collector's Set Reviews and Reactions

[Jimbo976]

Are there are reviews out there yet? Warner is usually pretty good at sending out review copies are they not? And less than 2 weeks till release day.

I've had this pre-ordered since day 1 and am pumped to see them on Blu-ray.

Historically, Warner has been one of the worst at getting screeners out on time.

[Scooby Blu]

I know I can't wait. I still want a review before a blind buy on the whole set though ! Oh, where can a review be hiding ?

Hmm - I guess I had the wrong impression. That sucks!

Hopefully some will appear soon though.

Wow, I forgot that this release is right around the corner. Man, I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this set.

On Blu-ray, June 3.

Includes Dolby TrueHD, which is huge! Good work Warners!

[Jimbo976]

Wow - I am quite surprised on the TrueHD front. That is awesome!!!

Majorly physched to get my hands on this set in 2 weeks.

[Paint It Blu]

Dolby True!! That is a deal-sealer. I gotta get this now. I wonder if the whole box set is True?

[BluDomain]

I'll for go the U.S. editions in cardboard and order
from Amazon.uk as they are all available separately
in a keep case.

This is a highly anticipated release. Always been a fan of Dirty Harry. Aside from the original I like the Dead Pool the best. Was that not Jim Carrey's first role as Johnny Squares?

Hopefully this applies to the other films as well.

So anyone see this out there yet or a review? Surely they must be floating around already with only 1 week to release day?

No reviews yet. I've been looking around. A few people on a couple other forums I lurk at have posted that they have it, yet have failed to post impressions. I really don't understand the point in that. Save your post until you can tell us something worthwhile.

I ordered my set from Warner on the hopes of it shipping a little early, like they've been known to do.

SUPPOSEDLY, this set is DVD box sized (in terms of height), but I'm not positive about that. I dunno why they would do that.

Dirty Harry Series was recently aired in one of the Japanese HD channels. The PQ sucked on every scene. Anyways let's hope for the best.

They say that the masters are the same as the old DVD, and that the shots where Harry talks to Briggs on the first murder scene in Magnum Force are still blurred.

If this is the case, then Warner have conned us all lying about new transferts being stuck (they probably just corrected and cleaned years old transferts).

Are you sure about that? I only translated it using a website, but it seemed to indicate that the master is the same as the new special edition DVD, not the old DVD.

"the used master for this edition blu-ray is the same as the one that we rediscovered for the special edition SD"

That's what freetranslation told me.

Not to mention, they gave them 9/10 and 8/10 for image, respectively.

Warner has done some very fine restorations and I don't expect this to be any different. The first one will at least look great, I'm assuming. I'm sure less care was given for the sequels, but I'm sure they'll benefit as well.

Yes that's what it says, they used the same Master as for the Special Edition DVD, therefore there are still the same small imperfections here and there. But they liked the overall picture quality and grain.

I would imagine they would use the same masters/remasters for both the DVD and BD since they are both being packed and released at the same time. I'm not sure why they would bother to state the obvious.
