So purple

This film has one of the best opening scenes ever. But do I need this edition if I have the BU? Not a rhetorical question.

Alan1074 · 04-25-2025, 04:25 PM

Do Arrow take payment immediately anyone know?

Man, would have loved to grab the Original Art. But an additional 20+ bucks for a slipcover is rough.

Same

Alan1074 · 04-25-2025, 04:35 PM

Ordered the Arrow exclusive. I think this is my 7th copy purchased of this movie (at least). It practically has its own shelf.

Driver78 · 04-25-2025, 04:52 PM

Ordered the Arte edition with a cc instead of Paypal. Don't want to get those annoying Payment Problem emails.

I wonder why Atomic doesn't have any of the new titles up for Preorder yet. Diabolik and Orbit both do

waxHead · 04-25-2025, 04:54 PM

Another order placed for the Arrow exclusive Arte Originale edition.

I don't need an excuse to watch Zombie again but it's always nice to have one

keep it because BU have more special features on two discs than the UK 4K UHD release of ZFE as on one disc and BU also as the soundtrack while the UK doesn't and i rather have the BU one because it as the soundtrack.

Their Zombie release didn't have the colour space issue. What it did have was some weird DV incompatibility that caused flickering on certain setups.

It was gorgeous to me, unlike New York Ripper which was nuclear in places. Never bothered with Two Evil Eyes, which was another with the nuclear colours. I'm holding out for 88 Films to do a UHD version.

Their House by the Cemetery was largely OK IIRC but had that editing error that Arrow fixed.

Is this a hardbox or a slip?

Hopefully, we will get some information on whether or not this is the same transfer that BU used. That one looks good but the colors seem a bit cooked and saturated.

Hellboy · 04-25-2025, 06:43 PM

This is great news!

jmbe · 04-25-2025, 07:20 PM

I literally just bought the 2 disc BD on ebay having read the graphic novels recently (way better than I thought they'd be incidentally), dunno if that counts as a sacrifice to the bluray gods but you're welcome I guess! Not watched the film since the DVD days so will probably just wait for this now. At least I'll have a backup BD.

As much as I prefer the original art (like everyone else), there's no chance in hell I'm ordering directly from Arrow just to get a damaged set.

Muyfa666 · 04-25-2025, 07:26 PM

Yea Arrow... go ahead and take all my money. No way I'm passing on the Arte Original. Looks like my old Video Nasty VHS. Winning! :-)

domtheone · 04-25-2025, 07:26 PM

Yeh. That purple is hideous.

Would still order the Arte Original if it was double the price of the Purple mess.

yeh not really liking the purple one
have the BU lenticular BD with splinter art already too which is lovely and much nicer

not really a fan of slip over the hard cases trend preferred just a j-card
but ordered arte originale straight away as that's my fav ZFE art

the inner case for these will have original art on reverse too
that's going to look so sexy
