I am confused: do Studio Canal and Lionsgate share the same encode?

I know that for their older Blus LG and Canal would sometimes of have different encodes (For example the Optimum release of Apocalypse Now is slightly brighter than the LG release) but it seems for 4K they're pretty identical if T2 and now "Evil Dead 2" are anything to go by.

Those two are the exact same UHD discs, yes. But the two versions of the Rambos appear to be fundamentally different as there is a Spanish language option on the US UHDs. That doesn't preclude them from sharing the video encodes and muxing in their own audio tracks & subs, but they're not the exact same discs.

Wtf, StudioCanal?

It also sucks, StudioCanal didn't revsited the audio, heavy front based, weak surround support and volume.[/quote]

what?so the studioCanal uhd disc audio is inferior to the lionsgate uhd?haven't part one and two not just got good scores for their audio in recent reviews on this site?

It might as well be a David M encode.

Seriously, compared to The Fog's HDR10 layer that's some God-tier goodness.

So what is the difference between the Studio Canal and Lionsgate UHD releases?

Just checked the newly drawn covers of the remastered UK SC 1080p single disc releases. They look kinda naff, don’t they?

Yea terrible artwork, the american art is better, apart from what looks like the first blood stick on head from rambo 3

Leterface · 11-11-2018, 09:17 PM

I think of the US covers Part 1 is good, Part 2 mediocre and the 3:rd is quite good. EU/UK covers are quite bad but the trilogy Steelbook is ok - and if no other differences than Spanish missing from it I will most likely grab it (however could get the individual titles from the US some 4 dollars cheaper a movie than the French Steelbook, that 10 euro is still confusing me what I should do).

ROSS.T.G. · 11-11-2018, 09:28 PM

I really like the artwork

Mr. Chaverria · 11-12-2018, 08:37 AM

Damn. So these films have a problem in the framing. Hrmmm. Colors look debatable, extreme or not. I'm holding off on these. I just can't risk a muck up like this. Especially on this new format.

So far it looks like only Part II is misframed.

The BDs that come with the UK/international Studio Canal 4K releases are remasters as well like Deer Hunter or no?

Thanks

ROSS.T.G. · 11-12-2018, 11:35 AM

Amazon.com shipped mine. I hope to have early next week.

They are.

Matt Murdock · 11-12-2018, 04:47 PM

Are these movies worth a blind buy? I'm going to get the first one on black friday, I'm not sure about the sequels.

ROSS.T.G. · 11-12-2018, 04:52 PM

If you like awesome 80’s action movies and sly then yes.
