The Official Arrow Video Thread

[Davo92]

I'm not sure of it's been mentioned already but Michael Mackenzie confirmed on Arrow's Facebook page that The Big Racket has been passed uncut by the BBFC with previous cuts waived.

To be honest, at least I don't recall ever seeing films from either side of the pond back then looking like this. The closest I can think of, maybe would be Melville and his trademark cold blue.

Let's hope Arrow have gone on a eurocrime spree with this new release, maybe more polizieschi titles to come in the future.

Well, if there was ever a film that needed to be seen in 4K, it's Henry.



Nice art though.

I'm hoping they'll consider a Damiano Damiani set containing The Day of the Owl, Confessions of a Police Captain, and How to Kill a Judge.

Possibly relevant - a Francesco Simeoni (I presume it was the same) purchased the German Blu-ray of Confessions of a Police Captain from me on Ebay last year, which either suggests they've got no plans whatsoever, or that he was doing some research. Make of it what you will.

Will ARROW finally start shipping Don’t Go in the House since they forced us all over a week ago to resubmit payment, which btw was posted to my account middle of last week.

They made it sound like they were shipping out the title but so far nothing

I’m waiting for it to ship so I can hit 1500 points and use the credit to order the new titles!

Especially when the planes on the Rogue Cops set aren't biplanes

I think it is a hint for something else. We may find out next month.

The hint was for Rogue Cops (2 Planes)

The arrow hints are most times not actual images from a film and some can be just a tease to have people guesing as to the title and post suggestions on social media and web forums what they think it might be

They sometimes have used actual images from films but not always and even when they done that some was a red herring

Some hints can be obvious and easy to guess what the film will be but it's not always what you think it will be
Sometimes it's arrow having fun and image you see might not be what you was expecting to be released or the hint image is just a interpretation but not to be taken as actual image of a scene from the film release

[Ste7en]

Ah, that sucks

I was hoping for a monster movie set or something as they looked like scale models

I'm alone in this but i liked battle royale 2.
And henry 2 is also great movie maybe not better as part1 but still entertaining.
Gotta hold on to my dvd set then.
While i'm at it i think henry does need a 4k release cleaned up to the fullest this need to be seen as a raw and dirty just like the movie itself.

You're not alone, I like BR2 as well, I find it to be a fascinating film.

Already have the Carlotta blu-ray of Henry, but I think I may double dip here, I'm especially interested in the audio commentary.
However it's regrettable they didn't use the original poster for the outer case

Indeed. They were quick enough to chase people up for payment but not in a rush to get them posted out.
I thought dispatch was going to be imminent.

IIRC they charged me for Phantom of the Mall about 2 weeks before it actually dispatched.

Ha! Takes me back to a couple of years ago when I sold my OG copy of Led Zeppelin’s Presence to Richard Ayoade on eBay.

Snap, although it’s 500 points in my case.

[GozuGoGo]

What are people's thoughts on the titles likely to be included in Shawscope Vol. 2? Will we see much overlap with those already made available by 88 Films you think?

Yes I can confirm this. I just got my copy in from Zavvi and it still comes with the slip and booklet.

Prefer the Chabrol of the 70's

It looks green like 88 Films Beyond The Darkness. A teal Emmanuelle Beart is not for me. 😂

It's probably been brought up already, but I spotted the re-release of Daimajin Trilogy in HMV York today and it was using the same packaging as the Battles Without Honor & Humanity re-release with the slim BD cases and cardboard box.

So if you want that nice rigid box, you'll need to get that LE set.
