Mad Max: High Octane Collection (1979-2015) / Mad Max: Fury Road in B&W (2015) - Page 36 - Blu-ray Forum

BladeRunner2007 · 12-02-2016, 06:59 PM

So the night scenes aren't actually in b&w but a highly desaturated dark blue?!

Judging from the screenshots, I don't think I'll like this new version very much.

Yeah, I wasn't crazy about that myself.

I was hoping they'd go back to the original camera files, but apparently they just added some contrast and desaturated the same sharpened crap.

IMO, for this set, they should have skipped the Fury Road 4K and included the Fury Road 3D.

Why not both?

Got the Mad Max: Fury Road: Fury Road & Black & Chrome Edition in today and it didn't come with a digital copy or even a slipcover. It never advertised that it would come with a digital copy but it not having a slipcover was a bit of a shock.

[Show spoiler]

Unlike the B & C edition, does the High Octane Collection come with a slipcover or slipbox?

Thanks for the help.

I'm disappointed in the foreign release of the High Octane Collection box set. One of the draws of the Amazon.com exclusive is the new featurette/Blu-ray bonus disc for The Road Warrior. That bonus disc/extra is not present in the France set (which shipped from Italy..). The model car inside is a heavy lil thing, buut I thought it would be about 15% larger. The Madness of Max bonus disc is shoved in the 10-disc Blu-ray case in a separate clear sleeve. Good price a while back but this new presentation just doesn't offer up enough new content.

How long is the 'Road War' documentary supposed to be?

Why in the hell is this not available in any stores? Went from insta buy to Target doesn't have it, Best Buy is shipping only, Wal Mart doesn't have it. I could have it shipped but now I am annoyed that I can't just pick it up with the rest of this weeks purchases.

Because it's 20-freakin'-16.

It's not a new release anymore. All of these stores have gotten to the point where all they stock are new releases. Best Buy has a few catalog titles, but they are gradually shrinking their selection down to nothing like Wal-Mart and Target have already done.

I was looking at the screencaps and they somehow look way too dark for my liking.

They are also devoid of color.

So, does the disc include the desaturated color version? That's the best looking for me.

I don't think so.

More than that, I imagine most AV reps checking their inventory and going, "Oh, we've already got plenty of copies of Fury Road on blu-ray", and leaving it at that. The distinction utterly lost on them.

The sad things is, that kind of thinking is probably more right than wrong these days, because the distinction is probably lost on most people.

I'll tell ya, we happy few who still have local retailers stocking new titles and new catalog titles!

Target DOES have it, but the powers that be don't like to put catalog movies on the shelf. The box set is in the backroom where it will stay because nobody knows about it. The four Bourne UHD discs are in store as well, but not on any of the planograms. I saw this and immediately made room for all of them. Other stores don't care and won't make the room.

You can try an instore pickup or call them. It should be in the backroom. My store got two of the Mad Max High Octane Collections.

That's not an actual version. It's just the regular version with the color turned all the way down.

I should have specified that I'm not looking for the whole collection just the stand alone. Oh well, that's 25 bucks I am spending on something else.

German edition lists a bonus disc, that's the one I'll be getting (at some point, anyways).
