Blu Ray Wish Lists

[WaverBoy]

As long as the AIP dubs (and Sandy Frank dubs too!) are included, I’m good. They can put the AIP TV credits on as extras. I can’t see myself wanting to watched cropped 16mm TV prints of Gamera films.

I REALLY hope an Arrow Gamera set comes to pass!

The amount of Blu-ray releases coming out from now till November that I'm sold on is staggering:

Megabeast Investigator Juspion, Ultra Q, Ultraman, Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, The Blob ('89), The Devil Rides Out, Ringu, Giant Robo: The Complete OVA Series, the Showa-era Godzilla set, and the Twin Peaks megaset (do I get the fancy special edition, or the standard release?).

Still possible more stuff could be announced for November and December. My poor wallet!

[Gwangi]

If there are any "Twin Peaks" fans out there (like myself), "Twin Peaks: From Z to A" is coming out in December, and it is going to be limited to 25,000 copies worldwide. The set will contain every episode and part (?) of all three seasons plus "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me", and numerous special features.

[lhb412]

^ I just mentioned that in my list of anticipated upcoming releases. It's a damn fine looking set, but as I already own the Criterion edition of Fire Walk With Me I'm wondering if I should just get the standard set with all three seasons and no extravagant packaging...

[Gwangi]

I also have the Criterion "Fire Walk With Me" as well. However, my dilemma is that I have yet to purchase Season 3! They are releasing "Twin Peaks: The Television Collection" in October, which will included all three seasons, but without "Fire Walk With Me", and with less special features:



Either that, or just purchase Season 3 by itself. I did see David Lynch at Ringo Starr's Birthday Bash in Hollywood last month. Pity I did not actually get a chance to meet him; would have loved to have picked his brain and see if there was a possibility for a Season 4. Still trying to decipher that Season 3 ending!

[lhb412]

^ I don't own any of the television episodes. The older Blu-ray series set went out of print just as I was discovering the series. The only question now is whether I want to spend $75 for just the three seasons or $150 for the super special Mega Ultra Edition box set?!

What do I have to do to get a HD version of Terminator with the original gun sound effects? The new ones in the wrong . .

I know this has been discussed here before - and perhaps you all already knew about this - but I just stumbled across this while on Amazon (and I must say that it's about damn time!):

A smidgen of extras helps sweeten the pot but frankly this would be a day-one purchase for me, regardless. A longtime sentimental favorite.

Also this:


Now then... for the love of almighty God, would someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get off their corporate duff and give us a proper remaster in hi-def of ALL OF ME????? It's one of my all-time fave Steve Martin films and yet here we are on the dawn of 2020 and that poor film is still trapped in DVD pan & scan Hell!!! (and a horribly crap-looking DVD at that! For shame!!!)

Oh yeah, and this caught my eye, too:

Gonna get this too. I'll probably wait for the price to come down or buy used, but I'll get it eventually. Watched these in endless rotation on Detroit's Channel 7 Sunday Morning Movie as a kid.

The 2004 Hellboy is getting a 4K release the same day as Ultra Q and Ultraman. Not sure if I'll pick it up right away or not. I do have a nice amount of Amazon money I could use but I think I'll save that for the Showa Godzilla boxset.

[lhb412]

^ I'm very interested in the new 4k release of Hellboy. I don't have a 4K player and I don't really plan on upgrading soon, but past Blu-ray releases of the movie have only included the director's cut. Both the 4K and regular Blu-ray discs in this release will include both the theatrical and director's cut!

[Gwangi]

I had been waiting for this a long time! (practically since the beginning of time! ). Not only will this be a 4K restoration of the original Czech version, but it will now also include the English-dubbed edition as well! Sources say that this is region free. Since this is coming from Europe, we shall see what will ultimately be in the final specs (and perhaps, it is darn time I buy a region free blu-ray player!).

Fans of 80's classic animation may be thrilled by this. These pre-orders have been up for a while, but evidently Universal Pictures Home Entertainment picked up a couple very big licences recently;

Coming September 24th:

This is all 142 episodes of the classic series (72 Lion Force and 52 Vehicle Force), there will also be individual releases for each series around the same time
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TL ... QYBF9YEM2S

Coming October 1st

This is all 130 episodes of the classic series
https://www.amazon.com/He-Man-Masters-U ... 8FWQWMMS6C


All 93 episodes of the classic series
https://www.amazon.com/She-Ra-Princess- ... AGE4EAJ7EK


This is certainly not the first time these have been offered on DVD, but it has been a while. While Most of the bonus content will no doubt be from previous releases, there is a TON of it, including the extra films and specials associated with each series. I'll not be double dipping, but this is a nice, fairly inexpensive way to own these collections if you missed out the first couple of times.

Kino Lorber announced Konga will be coming out in December on BD earlier this week.

[lhb412]

^^ I'm good with my Criterion of Pan's Labyrinth, but the 4K release of Hellboy is a must-buy because it's going to contain, for the first time, the theatrical cut in HD. The previous Blu-ray only had the director's cut!

Ooooh, apparently Kim Newman let it slip that Arrow Video is releasing Daiei's two Invisible Man films. Now there's a piece of tokusatsu history!

[The Shadow]

[O.Supreme]

^That's cool about the documentary. It's on Netflix and I've watched it multiple times. Not enough draw for me to get the whole set over again, but still cool. I'll have to check on the subtitles. I know Voltron doesn't have any, but for some reason I thought He-Man/She-Ra did.... I'd definitely pay to get a release of that doc by itself, but understandably that's not likely.
