To add to this: I've heard that Troma plan to release one title per month starting in January. The first title planned (I think) is Poultrygeist. I think they plan to carry over all the egg-stras (:tsk:) from the 3 disc DVD version onto one Blu.

Oh deary me. What a FOWL thing to say. :tsk:

I know I must have been cluck-ing mad... I suppose it's because I've been cooped up here all day! I'll beak-have now! :laugh:

Funnily enough, I was just musing this morning that I'd like to see this on Blu-ray! Nice one, BU! :woot:

Amazon.co.uk are currently knocking out the Blu-ray of Near Dark for £5.98. I've read conflicting reports about the quality of the presentation - but at this price I'm taking a punt. Mine's ordered anyway!

Who Dares Wins? On Blu-ray? Not seen that in years. That's the Lewis Collins flick, yeah? I'll have to have a punt on that one. :)

I picked up the newspaper promo DVD of Who Dares Wins a while back. Daft as a brush but thoroughly entertaining stuff. Judy Davis looked gorgeous as ever.

The Blu-ray of Near Dark came through my letterbox this morning, will give this a spin at some point and I'll report back.

Just waiting for the BD's of Close Encounters and Bram Stoker's Dracula (I have a soft spot for it) to arrive now. :)

For Troma fans:

Can't wait until Troma announce the Toxic Avenger films for blu (green)-ray :)

They're making the 5th installment first... (I think!) ;)

The Toxic Twins! :bananasuit:

I saw that pic the other day :) Maybe we'll get a lovely boxset with all 5 films (including the longer Japanese version of TA2)

That pisses all over the standard edition I was looking at in HMV today. Why do we not get those kind of releases over here?

Sounds like another typical case of rip-off Britain strikes again to me!:eyebrows:

Can anybody confirm if Optimum's Blu-Ray releases of Switchblade Romance and Universal Soldier actually contain the same extras as the DVD editions as there's no mention of any bonus material on the BR sleeves.

Also, have Optimum issued Frontiers on the new format?:confused:

Switchbalde Romance has no extras.

Some good titles there. I never picked the current blu ray of OFOTCN, so I'll go for the special edition. Didn't expect a new version of 2001; the current blu ray looks and sounds great, and has a healthy dose of extras. Wonder what's in store...

Will pick up the Dollars films as soon as they're released. Apparently The Good, The Bad and The Ugly blu ray has a dodgy enough transfer (??) - hopefully these'll be up to snuff.

And The Exorcist in October! :banana:

That edition was out in the UK as a HMV Exclusive.
It was in stock on HMV.com last week not checked this week. its £2 more but I just got the standard release.

This may have been mentioned earlier on this thread, but Play has The Wicker Man Blu up for pre-order in October.

Dargghhh!!! I knew that provisional release date of March was too good to be true! Still, I doubt the director's cut will be a HD option anyway.

Aye. And I'll believe Friedkin/Warners are releasing the proper version only when I'm holding it in my hand! I don't want the George Lucas version.

In fact, I am tempted to go into the woods and burn my dvd copy. It is an unholy disc.

It must be done. The power of Christ compels you.

Got my 1st Italian Blu Ray today of trash Tomas Milian flick "Delitto al Ristorante Cinese" today and I'm frankly astonished at how good it looks and sounds! It's like seeing the film for the first time again, of course it's nowhere near 4k restoration, but for a film this old and trashy it's a revelation! Hope all the other Nico Giraldi films get the same treatment!

If you understand Italian (No English subs) and you love these films then buy it now!

Just noticed a german/austrian BLU of The Beyond on Amazon:

Attachment 4079

Anyone know anything about it?

£29.90:ohwell:

The Vincorcist :lol:

Hmmm....curious. Is this a proper HD transfer or the SD DVD upscaled? Not seen mention of this release anywhere, which makes me wonder as to its legitimacy. Does anyone have more information?

"Your mother knits socks in Hull!!" (Ferman-friendly version). :lol:
