Yes, of their time but the first is still good fun today and the others are good enough as sequels but kinda over rated, so the first should have a place on the shelf I would argue.

I'm a big fan of the first, I love the atmosphere that NYC provided back then. If you like lower rent, sort of sleazy, sometimes funny horror films then I would recommend giving it a look. The sequels are entertaining but certainly a step down from the original.

On the Zavvi website the release date is now listed as 23rd December so it has been delayed by a week.

Odd Thomas which I saw at Fantasy Film Fest in August and New World (US Blu) which I haven't seen before.

Mother of Tears (blu) seems to have been pushed back by a couple of months - I am not sure whether that is a good thin or not, but as a completist I have to have it.

I have the UK edition of Space adventure cobra, It is indeed excellent. The real trick is getting the original series which is out in France but I have no idea if the discs are English friendly. They also did a new(er) series of cobra a while back. I watched fansubbed versions but I have no idea if there is a legit release of them either.

Is the US dvd of the film better than the UK dvd?
Like uncut/cut?

The French discs of the original series only seem to carry Japanese/French language options.
The new series was also released in France,even on blu.
Again no English options.

It's uncut but I think the exact same print as the US disc. Just checked and had no idea how horribly expensive the uk release has become. It was only a couple of quid when I bought it. The french release is understandable as there is a lot of french cinema influence in the Cobra series but a UK release would be appreciated. Cobra is a fantastic character and the film is astonishing.

Picked up Django Unchained for £5 at Asda after work.
