Don't think I've seen anyone confirm yet, how's the video encode on this compared to the Shout?

I ended up ordering the grey heads version. We will see what state it arrives in after travelling from Germany to the UK in nothing more than an Amazon paper bag...

I’d be amazed if it didn’t come in an Amazon wraparound cardboard mailer. You’ll be ok I’m sure.

JPC only used one of them corrugated jobbies that offers the bare minimum of protection. Fortunately, arrived in mint condish though.

Yes, yes. It's beautifully composed. I love that the illustrator decided to place Gloria Reuben higher and more central than Jean Claude Van Damme. It shows a real understanding of the brief given to him/her by the art department.

You know what I always say, four TEC logos are better than none!

Quality over quantity!

Who likely has this in the UK? Deciding if I should get the German or wait for a UK release. Avoiding the Shout like the plague.

Man... This showed up today and i'm surprised how much I love the mediabook. Plus the proper 5.1 mmmmmmm MMmm! Thanks to you lovely folks for the hot leads on the cool splits

Ben_UK · 08-04-2025, 08:07 AM

Ive got my German mediabook. The German disc is only a BD-66, movie playlist unpacked I think its 58.5GB approx, just FYI.

Watched the German 4K last weekend. It was fun revisiting this flick and I'd place it ahead of Sudden Death. With the latter, I felt a bit distracted by it being so similar to a Die Hard setup whereas with Timecop, time travellin' notwithstanding, I detected a bigger whiff of inspiration and originality in terms of what they do with it. Then read Ebert's review and it's a real hoot:

Quote:

Van Damme plays the cop, named Walker, who lives with his wife, Melissa, (Mia Sara) in the kind of turreted, gabled, four-story Gothic manor that, as we all know, is the typical residence of Washington, D.C. policemen

The German UHD looked great to my eyes and I felt that the 5.1 track was potent enough, didn't feel there was something wrong with it. 5.1 effects were perhaps more subdued than I hoped, gun fights didn't create a whirlwind of activity but the pounding rain in the opening certainly made it clear the 5.1 was present and accounted for. Speaking of opening, I was reading the end credits and realized that the below are the same actors:

Of course, he was also in the Battlestar Galactica reboot.

Callum Keith Rennie is a fantastic, underrated actor.

And a chameleon. He can blend into pretty much anything.

I think my earliest introduction to him was in the Due South TV series.

malicedoom · 08-05-2025, 05:54 PM

My favorite performance of his was when he played Lew Ashby in Season 2 of the Showtime series Californication.
