Reservoir Dogs 4K UHD (1992) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

I had the French AVC encoded BD.

It looked virtually identical to the Lionsgate release, so it was sold fairly quickly.

Realistically, they're all based on the same ancient master and an update is long overdue.

Krynoid-Man · 08-09-2022, 07:04 PM

Great news. I've only ever owned the film on the original UK DVD release, so I'm definitely down for this.

PNguyen · 08-09-2022, 07:08 PM

The Blu-ray looks like poop, so this new 4K should be an improvement.

dylrichard02 · 08-09-2022, 07:08 PM

Cool, I'll definitely get this one. Can't wait for Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown though!

Thanks for the heads up, pre-ordered.

When I saw this projected in 35mm way-back-when, I was struck by how finely grained it was. Like, probably the finest-grained Super-35 shot/anamorphically-printed movie I'd ever seen (especially considering that at the time, all the finishing was done photochemically, with an optical blow-up/anamorphic conversion step- in other words, no DI). I later read that the DP loved to shoot with Kodak's slowest, finest-grained stock and use A LOT of light when shooting, so it all made sense. This should look pretty sweet in 4K, but I also suspect there might be false calls that it's been "DNR'd" because of the fine grain.

Great! This really needs a new transfer.

He doesn't care for digital media so it all looks the same to him unless it's an actual film print.

Saw this at the cinema maybe in 2019 and it looked absolutely rubbish, clearly an old master with all the grain scrubbed and DNR all over the place.

Can't wait for this though, for a very low budget film I suspect it'll still look very very good with a proper 4k release.

I seem to remember the "fact track" on the Pulp Fiction DVD/Bluray also mentions how the stock they used was picked due to being very low grain.

Isn't there a rule against starting threads based on rumors?

My concern is, will Lionsgate actually create a fresh scan for this release or will they recycle an older master? I've never been 100% wowed by a 4K disc from this studio.

bokes · 08-09-2022, 08:40 PM

I’m kinda burned out on this film, but I believe it was filmed on a very slow Kodak stock 50asa if I remember correctly. Very strong color.
I saw this projected on film during it’s initial run and it looked amazing.

manwithnoname64 · 08-09-2022, 08:46 PM

Day 1! It’s my favorite Tarantino movie.

American Psycho, The Doors, Apocalypse Now, ... ? If anything close to that I'll be happy.

Very interested to see how this will look if QT is involved in it, as he is absolutely not a fan of HDR. I personally love the look of the OUATIH 4K with it's modest HDR usage but the "max. brightness & pop guys" will definitely start a big cry again I guess.
