Bullets 'n' Babes

Hmmm... do I keep the space saving 3 BD pack with Raw Deal, Red Heat and TR?
Thanks Mark for the news

There's also a steelbook if you like that sort of thing...

If only they could unearth the original X-rated cut...

That would be cool.

Also being re-released by Lionsgate in the US, and this has got me interested in upgrading from my DVD:

This edition will feature a new transfer supervised by the director

Looks like a new transfer plus the extras from the old SE DVD.

Hmmm... might purchase when/if it goes down in price - I thought the transfer on the BD I have was certainly good enough - so this a 3rd transfer for this film?

Stuff Total Recall and release Terminator!

September 3rd. Supposed to have a brand new transfer by the same company which worked on Alien/Aliens restoration.

Aha, guess I'll finally be checking out The Terminator again then for the first time in like a decade.

Interesting steelbook artwork for The Terminator. I think I like it, despite having the wrong eye glowing.

With a 5.1 track!

Are we sure that release is the remaster or another reissue of the old disc?
Definitely upgrading Terminator if it is, and maybe Total Recall if it is a new transfer as well.

What's your source for that please?

There's a Terminator Blu-ray thread here: https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... =22&t=6183

I like it too. I doubt I'll pick it up though, it's a Play exclusive.

A 5.1 AND a Mono track . I've never advocated 5.1 alone, unlike some people who advocate Mono only (screw everyone else right?).

I still don't see why it would remotely be a re-issue. That disc is MPEG2 with PCM 5.1 and that's simply never going to get a release in 2012.

I'd pick up a remastered Terminator Blu-ray in a heart beat. I don't care about extras.

I've been wondering about Total Recall
Is the US BD (the forthcoming one) likely to be Region Free? The pre order price at Amazon.com is $9.86 but Play and some UK sites are selling the UK version for a laughable £17.99 so thought it would be better to go with the USA disc.

Around 50% of Lionsgate releases are region-locked so no way of knowing yet.

Found an edition from Holland labelled "Uncut Edition" here - this is unlikely to be an X rated cut but not sure why its labelled like this?

Here's the full list of extras (at least for the US edition) BTW:

Special Features
ALL-NEW Interview with Director Paul Verhoeven (exclusive to release)
ALL-NEW Restoration Comparison- a look at high-definition transfer from original film negative (exclusive to release)
"Models and Skeletons: The Special Effects Of Total Recall" featurette
Audio commentary with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven
"Imagining Total Recall"- documentary featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with the film's stars and special effects specialists
"Making of" featurette
Photo gallery
Trailer

So its the DVD SE extras plus a new interview/featurette - restored from the original negative eh? I thought the BD I had looked good (based on a superior French transfer apparently), it'll be interesting to see the remaster.

Cinema re-release has been downgraded to a '15'.

£25 is a really steep RRP IMO considering how old the film is and most of the extras are old. I'll wait for a bit til the price comes down.

It is a triple play remember and those always artificially cost more.

RRP is not even worth comenting on.this is £12.80 using the HMV code.

Bought it for £12.80
