Hopefully here on Wednesday for those who ordered in the UK. Probably would of arrived tomorrow if it wasn't a Bank Holiday today

Not seen this since the Media Blasters DVD came out, looking forward to it.

What a stunning look release, I feel like I've had money well spent just on that beautiful slip alone

i-kari · 05-31-2017, 10:35 AM

That slipcover is gorgeous. Any first impressions regarding the transfer vs. Code Red's release?

Dickieduvet · 05-31-2017, 12:43 PM

Not seen the CR Blu but this one looks great, stacked disc. Extended version runs approx 7mins longer and looks as rough as a Bears arse if I'm honest! Nice to have it though

How long are the Lieberman interview and the Grindhouse All-Stars doc?

Interview is just under 10mins, All-Stars is 35mins.

Does it play region A or is it locked?

Yup! Plays in my US Panasonic player.

Region free

barrycameron · 05-31-2017, 01:13 PM

It's Region Free. ABC.

Worship.my.wreck · 05-31-2017, 01:18 PM

I guess I should put my order in before the slips sell out.

Order placed. Never seen this one before, so I can't wait to get it.

Good! I just placed an order.

Seems strange to me that they'd include the BBFC logo on the spine of the slip but not on the front cover?

Regardless, this looks gorgeous. Finally someone did this film justice on blu.

If I had to guess, it's so that the slip will match other titles in the collection without being too jarring or different - hence why they kept the spine number also. Keeping the completists and the slip collectors happy - a rare feat.

As well as keeping all the logos etc in line, even if it hasn't got a slipcover.

I just had a thought.... hopefully I'm wrong, but 88 are usually pretty proud (rightly so) of their releases being 'UNCUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE UK!' and I can't see this anywhere on the box.

Has anyone had a chance to check out the film yet? You'll be looking for a rather nasty

[Show spoiler]

scene to see if it's uncut or not...

The cover is reversible. The ratings logo is on the "default" side of the cover but not on the reverse. The picture you see without the logo on the front is the reversed cover.

Won't be able to watch till tonight, BBFC states uncut, all previous cuts were waived in 2005.

Don't really know if that means anything or not!!

Does the CR edition have that bit?
