Double Impact: Collector's Edition (BLU-RAY)
Lionheart (2-Disc Special Edition) (BLU-RAY/DVD)


For those interested:

Double Impact, Art School Confidential, DOA, and Abominable had slipcovers.

Double Dragon, Lionheart, Find Me Guilty, and The Illusionist did not.

Wait wait...A lot of the appeal of the rewind collection comes from the slipcovers. I didn't realize the movies could come new without them?

I'm suprised Double Dragon isn't coming with one since that is a newer release and most of the older releases still have one

For me it's about the movies not the fake looking slipcovers.

Also enjoy the vhs style slips from them and didn't get one for Double Dragon or The Return of Swamp Thing.

[DaBargainHunta]

As disappointing as it is not to get slips (I haven't gotten my order yet), that's sometimes the price you pay for being a bargain hunter.

[The Great Owl]

My shipment came in the mail for...

Black Eagle
Lionheart
Double Impact
Windrider
D.O.A.: A Right of Passage
Comin' At Ya!

They all had slips except for Comin' At Ya!. I don't even know if that one originally has a slip or not, though.

Pretty sure they've made it clear from the beginning of the line that the slips are limited to the first pressing only. I remember not long after it's release that mvd rewind guy on here mentioned Double Dragon slips would be gone especially quick because of a big Wal Mart purchase or something like that.

Got my order yesterday. Neat how the Malevolence spines create a figure.

[DaBargainHunta]

Got mine today after all!

For those of you who care about slips far more than I do:

Slips: Bright Lights Big City, My Samurai, Out of Time, Walking Tall

No slips: Double Dragon, Find Me Guilty, Resurrecting the Champ, At the Drive-In (DVD)

Note: Other than Double Dragon, I'm not sure if those originally came with slips or not.

I got those 3 also but hadn't noticed that yet. That is pretty cool.

Thankfully we all think differently.

[Magikor]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that the earlier releases first several print runs had slips produced with them, but they became cost prohibitive, and so they were limited to initial pressings for future releases.

MVD Rewind Guy posted here and on their Facebook page about how much longer (roughly) you could get them.

Yeah, because I make good money selling those little dinky pieces of paper.

Find Me Guilty & Resurrecting the Champ do not have slips.
The original pressings of Double Dragon did.

EYE SEE YOU - Update!

It's with great pleasure that I am able to report that director Jim Gillespie (the guy that made "I Know What You Did Last Summer") took time and energy to dig up and locate a copy his original cut of "Eye See You", known as "Detox" (that's how it's spelled on his cut of the film). While I personally have not seen this version yet (it's being used to author the disc right now), I'm told that it's a "darker" and more horror-ish in tone (Fincher's "Seven" was what I think they were going for here) version of the film, which was his original intention before the film was recut, re-titled and changed.

"Detox" is being included on this disc as a bonus feature. It is not in HD. The quality is VHS. It is in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio and had time code under the letterbox (see image for reference). We will be reformatting the image for 16 x 9 which should eliminate most (if not all) of the time code. I don't know what the audio quality is but given the quality of the video I would say manage your expectations accordingly.

We've included all of the previous available bonus features and we've also adding a new photo gallery (see list of "final" bonus features below). I have also made the decision to create a LIMITED RUN SLIPCOVER for the first pressing (as you know we really don't do slips for Marquee titles anymore but I'm making an exception for this one) so if you want to guarantee a slipcover, I would suggest pre-ordering this title. After street it's hit or miss.

I'm really excited to have produced this new "Special Edition" Blu-ray release of 'Eye See You". I've always considered this to be an underrated title. In my opinion, it's the closest thing to a horror movie Sylvester Stallone has ever done (at least up til now) and hopefully this alternative cut will finally give everyone a chance to see what director Jim Gillespie had intended.
