That sucks. I'm sorry, man. I am glad my ex only took clothes.

Didn't even realize this was OOP, really want this. Hopefully shout releases a new scan.

I'll never forget a buddy of mine back in the 90's (R.I.P. Derek) just broke up with a psycho ex and was telling me about how she stole a bunch of stuff from him, but it was just silly shit without much value other than to annoy my man. It was his toothbrush, q-tips, TV remote, spoons (but not forks or knives) and just dumb shit like that. She left the good stuff like an ounce of weed and his knives and guns which had value.
At least we had some good laughs over that. Miss you man.

Any news on a new release / remaster, like other Corman Classics?

One can hope. Saw the movie for the first time tonight at Tarantino's theater - on an original 35mm print from the 70s - and it was such a fun time. Plus one would think since Corman projects like the first two "Deathstalker" films, "Slumber Party Massacre", "Piranha" and "Streetwalkin'" could all get revamped and remastered releases, no reason this shouldn't.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but maybe its PD status took some of the luster off this one.

How I wish this would go back to print and be released as a steelbook as well.

I saw this new region B release go up on Orbit DVD:

Never heard of this label before.

Is there any known reason that Shout hasn't re-released this? I was sure it would get a steelbook release, although at this point I would expect a UHD.
The worst part is I never got around to buying the original release, and it's been OOP and pricey for a long time.

I believe people found some paperwork that showed every film shout acquired when they bought cormans catalogue a few years ago, and death race wasn't on it. there must be some rights issues.

Anyone seen the UK Signal One Entertainment release? Is it worth picking up?

Not sure of quality, but you can pick this up for $15.

Less extras than the Shout disc. This needs a 4K release.

Update: I ordered Death Race. Still kicking myself for getting rid of my DVD years ago. The Shout OOP Blu-ray goes for $150 now.

It almost has to be something like that. Shout would surely have already re-released it as a SteelBook edition years ago, and I would imagine as a 4K already as well. The Blu-ray came out way back in 2010, and as much as they re-release everything popular that will "sell" I can't see any other valid reason.

So I'm guessing the Signal 1 release uses the same transfer as Shout?

I watched the Signal One blu-ray tonight. I thought it looked good. I'd say 3.5 out of 5 stars. The colors are great, the detail is solid if not sharp. I don't know if it is the Shout transfer since I don't have that one (bought this as the cheaper alternative), but I do have the Shout DVD and this is a definite upgrade in all aspects. I will keep the DVD for the extras though.

[LeDroitDeTuer]

I ended up ordering the Signal One version since who knows if Shout will ever reissue this given their Corman situation. I'll post some screen caps once it gets here.

Can anyone confirm the UK disc offers english subs, please?
It doesn't appear on the backcover so I guess it doesn't but I'd like to be sure.
Thanks for your help!

Just checked it - yes, the Signal One release does have English subs.
