Arrow Announcements, Speculation & Wild, Irresponsible Conjecture

Those being?

10-disc set featuring:
Drunken Master 2
Rumble in the Bronx
First Strike
Thunderbolt
Mr. Nice Guy
Who Am I

[Finch]

Going to wait for that set to be broken up because I only want Drunken Master 2.

[mfunk9786]

Am I missing the UK announcements? Do they come at some other time? Sorry for the n00b question, just looking to order Bullet in the Head.

[Finch]

Standard BDs coming for Ms.45 and the Turtles movies in June as well. Where did people see the Bullet in the Head announcement?

I only saw it here:

Also a Blu-ray of Marlowe, and a UK edition of Bullet in the Head.

[Finch]

Bullet specs up. Seems like it's the only UK exclusive but another stacked month.

[mfunk9786]

Man, it seems like a fantastic release too. Didn't realize these releases went live officially at 11 AM EST. Jumped the gun.

What’s the difference between the regular 4K Chan-set and the mote expensive Arrow Exclusive?

The O-card and the artwork on the inlays - the discs themselves are exactly the same.

[mfunk9786]

Just looks like alternate artwork across the board: covers, discs, and outer slipcover for the box.

[rapta]

That JC set is very cool, but I'm being sensible and just pre-ordered Bullet in the Head BD for now. Will likely pick up Wake in Fright BD as soon as I can, and Marlowe at a later date in a sale. Guessing the Chan set may disappear with all the hype, but I'll be there for any reissue shenanigans!

[pistolwink]

I assume this transfer of Wake in Fright is not DNR'd to hell like the previously Blu-Ray releases in the UK and USA?

Reviews have been sensational, to the point when I was seriously considering an import (which wouldn’t have been cheap).

Since Arrow seem to be on a Paul W.S. Anderson kick at the moment with Soldier and the Mortal Kombat film, I wonder if they might go back to Anderson's debut, 1994's Shopping, at some point?

[nicolas]

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is upcoming from Arrow!

[dwk]

Since they seem to be doing releases of things Warner Brothers put out in triple packs (Deep Blue Sea/Long Kiss Goodnight/Snakes on a Plane and Logan's Run/Soylent Green/The Omega Man) , they probably also have Above the Law.

[rapta]

Talking of Seagal, I wonder if they might also do Executive Decision? They've done other Kurt Russell films but surprised that hasn't been prioritised (or indeed Tango & Cash, which has been brought up a few times after they did a couple of Stallone titles).

Logan's Run/Soylent Green/The Omega Man

Look forward to these three in particular.

To Live and Die in LA is going to be announced Friday, it's today's hint

[nicolas]

According to Reddit, these are Arrow's July UK titles:

To Live and Die in L.A. (4K Limited Edition) £24.99 - 06/07/26
Hush (4K Limited Edition) £24.99 - 13/07/26
Falling Down (4K & Blu-Ray Limited Editions) £24.99/£17.99 - 20/07/26
Soylent Green (4K & Blu-Ray Limited Editions) £24.99/£17.99 - 27/07/26
The Outfit (Blu-Ray Limited Edition) £17.99 - 27/07/26

[yoloswegmaster]

Surprised that The Outfit is Blu only, as I'm sure it has its fans.

[tenia]

I suppose they couldn't get/produce a master suitable for a UHD release.

[Forrest Taft]

Marlowe was also BD-only. So this seems par for the course for upgrades of Warner Archive titles previously only on DVD.

[Adam X]

Seems like Arrow might have a distribution deal with MVD Rewind in the UK. Just noticed their 4K edition of Rockers up for order on the webstore.

[dwk]

Also coming in July
Red Sun (UHD and Blu-ray releases)
Sex and Fury & Female Yakuza Tale double feature Blu-ray (guess the Diacotek releases are going OOP)

[ChunkyLover]

Sex and Fury & Female Yakuza Tale double feature Blu-ray (guess the Diacotek releases are going OOP)

I wouldn't be surprised if the US release gets cancelled. Discotek's Sex and Fury release is barely two years old and I have to imagine at least that license is still active.
