When is ROCKY II, III IV and V being released? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

borninusa · 01-16-2009, 06:45 PM

When they fix the first one.

Too bad the Rocky sequels don't get the same treatment as 1 and Balboa.

I know hi-definition versions exist because they have aired on television and are available for download on playstation 3, I can't seem to find any news on Blu Ray release dates tho. Rocky 4 would be pretty sweet in HD.

PS3 download, really? What is the quality of it like? Is it 1080p?

I wouldn't be surprised if MGM releases a 1-5 boxset later this year.

swingle007 · 02-01-2009, 02:16 AM

soundtrack of Rocky 4 rocked, I'd love to hear it with a nice dts-hd or dolby true hd treatment!

I hope so, with all the "extra features" included on #1

Prophet X · 02-01-2009, 05:14 AM

Yes, if I remember right, PSN has Rocky 2 and 3 available for *rental only* download in 1080p. That meaning you can download it and watch it for 30 days and it is deleted off your system after that...somebody correct me if I'm off on the numbers. I believe these are the same two versions that are aired on HD television.

I find it rather odd that any movie would go through the rather costly and time consuming process of hi-definition restoration, only for the end product to be aired on television or make a $5 download on PSN.

SethRex · 02-01-2009, 05:17 AM

i saw 1,2,3,4. but no 5.

#Darren · 02-01-2009, 06:37 AM

Thanks guys, it's about time I make FULL use of my PS3, never downloaded before...

Prophet X · 02-01-2009, 03:11 PM

I think the PSN rental only downloads are a waste of money. Why go through all that bother when you cant even keep the end product(unless you figure out some way to hack your ps3 and copy the movie to some external source so it can be burned).

I think the problem is that studios are becoming more reluctant to release catalog titles on blu ray with the ailing economy and people being less likely to adopt the blu ray format when theyre struggling to pay their bills every month.

i see TONS of release catalogs coming out on Blu...

take a look @ the upcoming releases...

Prophet X · 02-02-2009, 04:27 AM

Yeah true just not as many as I had hoped though. The Rocky series is one of the most well-known movie series worldwide, I'm suprised it hasn't had a complete Blu Ray release yet.

Sir Platypus · 02-02-2009, 05:57 AM

I just wish the packing on the Rocky 1 Blu was nicer... They had a great DVD released when Balboa came out, so its a shame going from that to the 'cheap' looking cover art.

Here's the collectors edition art, for reference:

Blu-Jawa · 02-02-2009, 10:07 AM

I saw MGM-HD showing all the Rocky films in full 1080i and it IMO looked great and sound great also.

Prophet X · 02-03-2009, 04:06 AM

Lol I think that's the same cover art from the original VHS release of the movie.

And of course when you go from the 2-disk special edition DVD to the blu-ray, you have to remove all the special features.

They seem to be coming out in Germany on June 15. Hopefully that means we will see a US version around that time.
