I'd wait and make sure they're all uncut. New corrected transfers for Legal Wreckin 1 & 2 would be great, but I'm not holding my breath. Aside from that, I can't see any reason not to pick up the set.

I want the set and it's already pre-ordered on Amazon Uk, I just want to make sure that it will be a wise investment.

I don't suppose there is anyway of knowing if any of the films are cut, what sound has been used and what sort of HD transfer has been done?

Rob89 · 08-12-2010, 08:55 PM

I too hope it's uncut. I hate hearing when anything on DVD/Blu is cut, puts me off buying it.

Ben_R · 08-12-2010, 09:41 PM

Im guessing as long as the films included in the boxset have the same run times listed below they will be Ok?

Lethal Weapon (18) Runtime: 112m 15s
Lethal Weapon 2 (18) Directors Cut - Runtime: 112m 36s cut by 0m 31s
Lethal Weapon 3 (15) - Runtime: 117m 48s
Lethal Weapon 4 (15) - Runtime: 125m 44s cut by 1m 33s

We're getting the theatrical cuts apparently.
And Warner haven't released a censored version of any previously cut titles in the UK.
Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Nico, Tango & Cash, Eraser, etc, etc, etc. All uncut.

If they are the theatrical cuts, old masters and no lossless sound i´m not buying this. Hopefully new masters and DTS-HD then i´ll live with theatrical.

I don't mind if they're the theatrical cuts(I don't already own these movies on blu-ray), but I do mind if they're old masters and they don't have lossless soundtracks. I won't buy them, just as I didn't buy the first crap blu-rays that came out.

Of course, the perfect set would include both the theatrical and director's cuts, a remasterd picture, and lossless soundtrack. I would be in heaven then.

Won't these be region-free since they're Warner? They usually make region-free blu-rays. If so, you should be able to play them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Warner have always been region free

Saw it´s being released in France also nov 15 so i bet Warner is doing this worldwide and then it´s bigger chance for a remaster i think. Keep hoping

amazon put the release date to nov 3, same day with back to the future trilogy (France)... postman will need a bigger bag this day ^^

JonBidinger · 08-20-2010, 01:27 AM

Well amazon.de is listing separate releases of all four films as well, including the first two which are already out in Germany. I think that that bodes well for new versions.

Lol, can't agree more

Pre-order at HMV for £11.99. I think someone's made a mistake. Have to wait and see if they honour it.

That's what I've just done

If they do I'd be very happy, even if the transfers don't turn out great.

Ben_R · 08-21-2010, 01:11 PM

I have just ordered mine from hmv. But kept the Amazon Uk pre-order just incase

DCSholtis · 08-21-2010, 04:19 PM

Count me in with an HMV pre order too. At $25.60 total US I couldn't refuse.
