Do you own any of their releases? Do you know if the booklets that come with the Blu-ray are limited to a certain number?

They are not limited,but they are in German only.

Thanks, man! Really appreciate it as there's a Blu-ray released by that company over a year ago that I want, but wanted to make sure there's a booklet included as well. According to Amazon it still comes with a slipcase as well.

Pain in the ass to find Death Wish on Blu in the stores. So, Amazon gets my $.

Damn repacking...I got excited for a minute.

One of my favorite Bronson films is way under the radar, 1970's "Rider on the Rain". I see it's available as a Japanese import. I have the French DVD. Might have to upgrade. Wish there was a review for it.

For the Japanese import or the French DVD? I found the import here on Blu-ray.com by searching all countries, Amazon Japan:

I stand corrected on my DVD version, I ordered this one some time back after researching the various releases..... it seemed the Studio Canal region 2 version had the best transfer:

I'm thinking one of us needs to order the Japanese Blu ray and report back on the quality

Hard Times Chaney · 08-21-2014, 10:43 PM

I had NO idea Rider on the Rain got a Japanese release, it must be pretty recent. I want to know if both the French and English version is available. When going to Amazon Japan, there are two covers available, I wonder what that is about?

I finally forced myself to blind buy Once Upon a Time in the West. Looking forward to seeing what Leone did with a bigger budget than TGTBATU. His visual and technical prowess was already astonishing.

this is a great film.... right at the top of the genre! Bronson is terrific in it, as is Henry Fonda in a rare bad guy role.... enjoy!!

Our link says July 7, 2014. Amazon translated shows the language as French and Japanese, no English

I find that kind of strange seeing as it's a region A disc, and the original International release was in English. This is from IMDb about the Optimum/Studio Canal DVD release a few years back:

" Optimum have done a great job to get the English language print. This is not the French version (which is also included) with English soundtrack, but the true International version with Bronson's own voice on the soundtrack and the scene with Marlene Jobert writing 'I'm flat broke' in English on the mirror. Anyone familiar with the old UK Embassy Home Video release will be pleased that this is the same version as on that tape, complete with the Avco Embassy logo intro, but all in widescreen and much better picture quality. This is it - the ultimate DVD for fans of this great movie"

Great movie and very different from Bronson's output at that time period. Also, it was filmed right here in Alberta and shows some of the spectacular scenery we have here.
