Jay 37,374 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'd like a Blu Ray set that has both cuts so the viewer has the option. Also, the long cut wouldn't be randomly black and white for the most violent part, it'd be color the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each film has a distinct style, Samurai film and pseudo-Western. I have no desire to see a "super cut". It's not really a super cut, just the way it was originally edited and premiered at Cannes It was split down because the Weinsteins thought 4 hours would be too long for audiences to sit through. And as Jay mentioned, the Crazy 88 fight sequence was switched to black-and-white to avoid the NC-17 rating. The only other differences are the tacked on cliffhanger ending to Vol. 1, the recap beginning of Vol. 2, and the shortened anime sequence.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Might be too late for some, but Amazon's gold box deal today is the Lawrence Of Arabia set for $29.99, as well as the 3 Cinema Series blu-ray remasters of Leon, The Fifth Element, and Bram Stoker's Dracula for $14.99 a piece. I picked up the two Besson films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Blu-ray release of the year wrapped up already. BFI continue to do astonishing things: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BGX1BK2 BFI and Mondo Macabro have also unearthed the original negatives of Symptoms (1974) and will be releasing Blu-rays for the UK and US markets respectively.

Barnald 365 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Clarke certainly did a lot of stuff for the BBC (and this is only that which survives), and much of this is unreleased (aside from Elephant, Scum, and The Firm, though a new director's cut has been discovered and is presented here for the first time). You'll certainly get your money's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no recollection. I thought it was a better transfer. Either way, the cases for these blu-rays are shit. Mine already fell apart. It's made of two plexiglass covers that are "glued" into a paper bind. Glued in quotes because the second I tried to open it the glass popped out. Absolutely awful. I didn't realize that the same remasters were available in normal cases. Returning these now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 None of this home release news is particularly surprising, considering it's intended to coincide with the one. They've probably been chomping at the bit to release this stuff over the last few years. That being said, I will not be purchasing any of it.
