All I want to know now is the aspect ratio...

According to the entries on the BBFC site, widescreen.

Excellent news!

Any idea if these two ravishing releases come complete with the theatrical trailers?

Let's hope these 2 shift enough copies for Optimum to give us Pray For Death and Ninja III: The Domination.

Here here! Can only hope so really - fingers crossed. Still gutted they aren't giving them the blu treatment - especially when they're giving Rolling Thunder a blu release around the same time. I can't imagine Rolling Thunder selling much more than Kosugi's films, although it's not had a proper release over here on DVD ever has it? That might make it sell more but do that many people really know about it?

Just watched Ninja III again the other day - trashy as hell but fun while it lasts. Not a patch on ROTN though

I'm not sure, but if ROTN has been shown on the MGM-HD channel in the US, then there's probably already good enough material for a BD.

You´ll be surprised how many people like Rolling Thunder.
It´s been hailed as a cult classic for many years.

Well, the Ninja trilogy also has a great cult following...

Rolling Thunder is available on DVD in the states but only as a MOD DVD-R.
This will be the first retail release... and also in blu.

Yeah, I know it's rep - it's an awesome film, I'm a big fan and its great news that it is coming out on blu for it's first legit release here. I'm always amazed that despite it's great reputation as a cult classic you very rarely see or hear it being talked about - certainly much less than other comparable cult classics. Fingers crossed it does well - certainly a day one purchase for me.

I believe this movie was so obscure until now based on the fact that it´s a tv movie.
This will be the first retail release anywhere in the world...

Glad to see the brits finishing this race in front of the americans.

Day one to me too...
