I've never heard that comment before - I take on it means something along the lines of good or cool?!

Would love to see a pic of that Deep Red hardbox, mate.

There's a Blu-Ray of Vanishing Point?!?!?!?

MUST OBTAIN!!!

Actually, there are two different Blu-rays that I know of:

- US - Region A locked - including both the U.S. and the longer U.K. version (the latter with the short Charlotte Rampling appearance) : Amazon.com: Vanishing Point [Blu-ray]: Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, Victoria Medlin, Paul Koslo, Robert Donner, Timothy Scott, Charlotte Rampling, Gilda Texter, Anthony James, Arthur Malet, Karl Swenson, John A. Alonzo, Richard C. Saraf

- European - Region B - including the U.S. cut: Fluchtpunkt San Francisco [Blu-ray]: Amazon.de: Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, Victoria Medlin, Paul Koslo, Richard C. Sarafian: DVD & Blu-ray

There's also a slight difference in the extras: the US release has at least one additional featurette of about 30 minutes.

Picture and Audio quality are the same - both are more than alright, considering the age of the flick. It's really worth the upgrade to Blu. :nod:

The artwork (which I do not like at all - when do FOUR helicopters and that myriad of cars appear in the movie? :crazy:) is virtually the same in both editions.

Greetings!

Right, that's it, I'm buying a region hackable Blu player next week!

Thanks for the info, Prince.

Vanishing Point on Blu!!!

Funnily enough, I was going to take some photos and put them up in the Show Us Yours thread.

Same here -- thanks for the comparison. I think I'll go with the Region A release.

Resident Evil was so bad! and Salt looked even worse :lol:
Dont even get me started on Land of the dead!

I was in HMV and was very tempted to pick up Last house remake blu for £6 but I already own the DVD so not sure if its worth double dipping even at that price.

I thought Salt looked terrific with a superb AVC 1080p picture. Resident Evil: Afterlife also looked extremely good and they both have excellent soundtracks. I haven't seen Land of the Dead in HD, so can't comment.

Salt Blu-ray

Resident Evil: Afterlife Blu-ray
