What! See the link in post 551, a totally different image.

not sure, as the uk 2012 (studiocanal) release is not listed there just the uk 2008 (optimum). Taking stead the DE special edition look a little darker (the new release).For sure in my opinion the menu is horrible, displaying the same art than the one on the steelbook.

Is it the same warning that was at the start of Bill & Ted? (Another Studio Canal release)

I wonder if it has anything to do with the "nice knowing you" moment or Arnold's particularly binding divorce contract?

Is this new BD different from the Mind Bending edition version which I have, I thought that one was already a 4K remastered version.

My money's on the triple-breasted wh**e of Eroticon Six.

There's some really regressive attitudes on display towards tri-mammaried sex workers.

I'm struggling to think of anything in this, outside of the sheer excess, that's specifically outmoded. There's no racially or sexually charged language, other than generic "*****!" etc.

How weird. Maybe they've just disclaimered all of the 80s and 90s.

It's probably easier that way, kinda like how amazon just put "this DVD is region 2" for like every disc sold on there so they don't have to bother actually checking the region coding.

Or perhaps the warning is there in case people think that divorcing someone with a sub machine gun is not the way to do it? "It was wrong then and it's wrong now" etc

The MB was indeed from a brand new transfer back then, but they've done another new transfer for this latest edition. Fine detail is pretty much a dead heat between the old and new Blus but the colour timing is drastically different.

I want a disclaimer on the UHD "This UHD has been prepared by a bunch of Frenchies who have no idea how to colour grade or encode UHD. Some viewers may find this distressing and offensive".

Dude, I'm not usually the one who goes all PC on people (so the following is ironical, given what I've literally just complained about) but I'm amazed no-one's pulled you up on your persistent anti-French rhetoric thus far.

Unfortunately my French ex and her anti Frenchness rubbed off on me. I'll try and work on it

"Consider that a divorce!"

2020: Might cause offence, so we're warning you!
1990: Such an awesome scene, we're making it a selling point in the trailer!

UnionJackMix · 11-24-2020, 04:22 PM

Great back in stock at amazon so I bit the bullet and ordered it!

Geoff D · 11-24-2020, 05:14 PM

BTW any Zoomers got theirs yet?

kaotician · 11-24-2020, 08:09 PM

So I got a message from Amazon stating my Total Recall CE was unexpectedly delayed until Dec 20th, but I'm not seeing anyone else with this issue on here - I ordered it mid Sept, I think.

anephric · 11-25-2020, 12:00 PM

Bottin's FX stand up so well, even in close-up!

I know people were disappointed with some of the mutant makeups at the time, but his Arnie animatronics are top notch.

Wouldn't that make them... Arniematronics?

...

I'm getting my coat now.

Ed1978 · 11-25-2020, 12:18 PM

So how is the picture quality of this release compared to that of the other previous versions?

Agent Kay · 11-25-2020, 01:48 PM

Will get the 4k in a cheap offer, but will stick with the original bd for now.
Plus the remaster is in my local cinema in December

CinemaScope · 11-25-2020, 04:10 PM

Mine's on its way, so I'm going to put it on my, to watch over Christmas pile. I can't think of another Arnie film where he gets kicked in the balls so much.

You get some quality reactions from Arnie though
