Oh hell yes! Own it on dvd but it's worth upgrading. And an interesting fact (or not!), Justin Lin says that Han from this film is the same one from the Fast & Furious movies, so you can consider this a sort of prequel, even though the films are nothing alike.

Another great film. The US dvd I have is non-anamorphic, and looks awful.

'Nashville' (1975) - Coming to Blu-ray from Paramount Presents Release date: August 10 "Following 24 unique characters through 5 days in the country music capital, Robert Altman's Oscar winning epic presents a complexly textured portrayal (and critique) of America’s obsession with celebrity and power. Among the various stars, aspirants, hangers-on, observers, and media folk are politically ambitious country icon and his fragile star protégée, a self-absorbed rock star who woos a lonely married gospel singer, a talentless waitress painfully humiliated at her first singing gig, a runaway wife with dreams of stardom, and a campaign guru who is trying to organize a concert rally for an unseen presidential candidate. An essential of 70s cinema, this newly remastered Blu-ray, from a 4K film scan of the original elements, looks better than ever." Special Features:

'Bugsy Malone' (1976) Release date: August 31 "Before FAME, PINK FLOYD: THE WALL, THE COMMITMENTS, and EVITA, acclaimed director Alan Parker redefined the movie musical with his first feature length film. Set in 1929 New York City, BUGSY MALONE captures a flashy world of would-be hoodlums, showgirls, and dreamers — all portrayed by child actors. As Tallulah, the sassy girlfriend of the owner of Fat Sam's Grand Slam Speakeasy, future superstar Jodie Foster leads a talented cast. Parker’s sharp script, combined with the music and lyrics of Paul Williams (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE) makes for an irresistible satire that’s truly one-of-a-kind. Available for the first time in the US on Blu-ray, in celebration of its 45th Anniversary, this limited-edition has been remastered from the original film elements." Special features:

Is there a detailed comparison anywhere? It would be useful to know the differences to make an informed choice.

I definitely think the extras will be exactly the same as the previous Paramount set but it will use the new transfers that they recently did of 1-4 for Shout Factory. I seriously doubt they'll have any of the new Shout features and interviews. Overall better than the old set but pay an extra $40 and get the Shout set with 4 extra films and loads of features.

There's about an hour of extras plus commentaries on the first film. I didn't even bother looking at Part II's extras. I think that probably gives you one reason why i didn't opt for paying £100. Another is i really don't want the remake movie. Although it's a pity about Jason X and Freddy vs Jason , however i'v never seen them as part of the franchise proper - the Crystal Lake films so can live with it. Incidentally - There's three discs of extras on that Star Wars set i bought last week. Doubt i'll ever put them in the player to be honest. |
