Ah, keep testing Mr. Salty

Have you found any yet which failed in either player?

Crank usa won't play in a uk machine.Seems fox are the main enforcers of region coding though lionsgate do as well,i hear Basic Instinct is region A locked.doesn't make sense to region lock catalogue titles imo.

Yes. Bastards.

Face/Off is way better than Leathal Weapon

The power of Christ compels you...

As for being hammy that's part of it's charm.

I guess that's subjective then because I thought it was just bad acting. Papa's got a brand new bag? Fuck off!

Plot holes? They're talking about swapping faces who gives a shit!

That's such a lazy copout. Even fantasy should make sense.

I'm so sick of Cage now that I can't really get excited by this release... :-/

Do not under-estimate the power of his skullet in that film.

Esspecially when he whips it around like a girly. (His hair that is).

Face/Off better than Lethal Weapon???
What?!

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 20 Jun 2007, 18:45

I wouldn't expect anything else from Bradavon tbh. Face is just about the most stupid action film of all time, rescued from utter vacuity by Woo's direction and some fun performances from Cage and Travolta.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jun 2007, 20:13

Even if I'm wrong about Face/Off it doesn't suddenly mean Lethal Weapon is anything more than good or was that pretty average.

@ Shingster: The exact reasons you're citing Face/Off to be bad are the exact reasons why I say it's good

@ Romero: That BD MR link isn't conclusive sadly.

No one is wrong

just differnt opinions.

Lethal Weapon is one of the best Hollywood action thrillers ever produced. The sequel is equally great (and perhaps even better?) Parts 3 and 4 are entertaining, but not in the same class. All are better than Face/Off.

I've never heard of Leathal Weapon. Lethal Weapon is a different story though.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jun 2007, 08:19

I liked Face/Off don't get me wrong but Lethal Weapon is much better...

I think this is still coming out on Blu-ray in the UK, because it's Buena Vista here as far as I'm aware.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 Sep 2007, 12:46

Good point.

Hopefully the Blu-ray "exclusive" extras will be retained.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 10 Sep 2007, 15:01

UK BRD confirmed.

Its also out now in Japan on BR, crap quality mind you

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 Sep 2007, 16:17

Care to provide a link please Romero? Crap quality how?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 Sep 2007, 16:26

wonder if it'll be uncut?

Crap just as in an older un-cleaned up print etc. with less extras than the new remastered version and it costss a lot:) I have no link, I would guess its on the usual Blu Ray Japanese sellers sites like amazon, has good sound from what I read mind you, but again the new HD DVD may beat that as this new version has had work done on it I would assume.

There is also an Australian version coming to Blu Ray October 3rd

so while everyones complaining they cannot get Face Of on Blu Ray, if they acctually looked about they could find it is out now and is getting the Paramount 2 dvd version in Ausie

I would guess the UK will also get the film on Blu Ray, again like Australia and Japan the rights are different companies so they can release Face Off on Blu Ray.

Cheers Romero.

Why are you assuming the Blu-ray hasn't also been remastered though?

saltysam wrote:wonder if it'll be uncut?

I wonder. Not that I care when I'll be getting the infinitely superior HD-DVD.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 Sep 2007, 18:46

i did read a post on another forum a couple of weeks back,can't remember which one and the poster said the japanese blu-ray of Face off was very average.
