Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
Wouldnt 3 cuts on 1 BD compromise the quality?
I imagine its cheaper than the German though.. hmmm. Reading through the Blu Ray.com forums I got the impression the German/French used the same transfer?

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
can't justify the extra cost personally.not when i can get all 3 cuts at less than half that price.And there's solid reports about the french disc which swayed it for me.grim_tales wrote:Not sure if its 4 or 3... hmmm.

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
The German has some TV cut in there apparently (which has footage not in another home video version), sounds a curio but.. dunno, I'll stick with what I have for a while until more reviews.

Ordered: The New Armed Swordsman German Digibook - part of me just said "Fuck it", as I've never seen the film and I'm not in a rush to recieve it.

Wow. That's very bold to pay top dollar for a film you've never even seen. I hope you really like it!

Me too, but The One Armed Swordsman (1967) is a great film, I imagine this will be similarMarkgway wrote:Wow. That's very bold to pay top dollar for a film you've never even seen. I hope you really like it!

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
If you like 'One Arm' and 'Return of' there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy this one, too. Although it's unrelated to the Wang Yu films, it's still classic Chang Cheh.grim_tales wrote:Me too, but The One Armed Swordsman (1967) is a great film, I imagine this will be similarMarkgway wrote:Wow.

Do you actually like the sequels? I originally had the trilogy because it was cheap, but ended up feeling the need to sell it and just buy the first one haha.Xenon wrote:Received: The Complete Matrix Trilogy.

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
Haha, same here. To be totally honest I have never seen the sequels. I remember I tried watching Reloaded back when it came out, but I turned it off after 40 minutes or so. Might have something to do with me being 16 at the time and having an attention span that of a squirrel.gasteropod wrote:I originally had the trilogy because it was cheap
