Yes it's pretty much the European Criterion. The seem to have a deal where they share rights to new restorations.

Cool. I had a feeling it was given the type of film it is and the use of numbering. I'm surprised I've never heard of them before.

The whole series?
Was it on widescreen?
I read online several seasons were aired in Germany in HD.

Wait -

Did you get the movie or the series ...

the (second) movie.

I plan on getting back to my series edits (already edited season 1, see my sig), but I am waiting until they release the blu-ray set. I have seen the German HD episodes, they are gorgeous, and in widescreen (as filmed).

I've gone a bit nuts this past week or so and bought loads of stuff (Many for possible Fanedits :))...

- The Thing (1982) / The Thing (2011) Blu-Ray Boxset (For a 2011 prequel FanFix)
- Escape From New York (1981) Blu-Ray (Upgrading from my DVD)
- Escape From L.A. (1996) Blu-Ray (For a FanFix)
- Make Way For Tomorrow (1937) Blu-Ray (Been meaning to buy this bittersweet romantic gem for ages)
- Sherlock Hound (1984) Complete Series DVD Boxset (I like all things Sherlock, Steampunk and Hayao Miyazaki, so it's a triple winner)
- Pride (2014) Blu-Ray (I loved this film to bits and the extras and deleted scenes are great)
- Short Circuit (1986) / Short Circuit 2 (1988) Blu-Ray Boxset (Another HD upgrade)
- The Karate Kid: Part II (1986) Blu-Ray (Been meaning to get tis for ages also)

Plus I've been doing more of the never-ending updating to my Orson Welles collection...

- Orson Welles: Macbeth (1948) / Othello (1952) Blu-Ray Boxset (I had to use Google-translate to navigate my way round Amazon-France to get hold of this outstanding 4 disc set. The DVD copies I had before looked terrible but these HD transfers are stunning :))
- F For Fake (1973) Blu-Ray (The Eureka! films DVD I had was great but this Criterion HD version looks so much better)
- The Lady From Shanghai (1947) Blu-Ray (The second I saw some screengrabs of the piucture quality, I had to upgrade this one to HD)

Picked up "The Conjuring" Blu-Ray combo pack last weekend at Target. Original price was 15$ but DVD's and Blu-Ray's were now at 60% off so I only paid 6$ for it. There wasn't much selection left unfortunately. :( I doubt there's any left now though. :lol:

Picked up Resident Evil: Retribution and Fist Of Legend, the Jet Li one, on Blu-Ray from HMV today. RE:R was only 5$ and FOL was 10$. Been wanting to get Fist Of Legend for the longest time but HMV hasn't carried it in forever. They only had one copy and I grabbed it as soon as I saw it. :lol:

I thought the 'Dragon Dynasty' Blus were supposed to be some of the worst transfers ever. Hope that's not the case.

I've seen comparissions between the Criterion Killer DVD and the DD Killer Blu and it was a travesty.

Really? I hadn't heard that. I'll have to look into it. Do you have a link for that Killer comparison?

This has it. The DD Killer has all the grain smoothed away, is quite soft and is overscanned too.

I can see what you mean. Some of the screenshots don't look too bad, but you can really see it in others. It's also disappointing that they changed the title card to an English only one. The French disc from TF1 looks like the one to get.

I took a look and it seems like "The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin" also has problems with it. As does the Hard Boiled one. They don't have a comparison for Tai Chi Master though. But the Fist Of Legend Blu looks to be pretty good.

I only paid 5$ a piece brand new, except for FOL which was 10$, so I can't really complain.

Picked up the Region 2 Portuguese edition of "Underworld" at a pawn shop today for 2$. Got it because the back cover lists both the theatrical and extended cuts on the first disc. Popped it in though and it's only got the extended cut. :( And while the Portuguese subtitles aren't burned in, they are locked in with no way to remove them. The back cover doesn't list all the extras either, but I'm pretty sure it's identical to the 2-disc Region 1 extended edition which I own. The only difference is that all the extras are on the second disc on the Portuguese release, whereas the Region 1 edition includes the "Fang Vs. Fiction" documentary, outtakes, theatrical trailer, and TV spots on the first disc along with the movie. I was hoping that the theatrical trailer and TV spots would be the Portuguese ones, but they're just the US ones with locked in Portuguese subtitles. Most extras have the Portuguese subtitles locked in. :(
