    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Quick follow-up on this. I got an replacement copy from Amazon that plays through the 50:21 mark without issue. So this does seem to be a disc defect issue, not an endemic compatibility problem between this disc and player. That said, I only tested that specific portion of the movie. I haven't...

    I think it was before that part, but I'll have to take another look.

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    To this point, when watching the other night, I noticed at least one close-up of Chris Penn visibly sweating, not motivated by the plot of the scene. I believe it was one of the flashbacks in Joe's office.

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Yup. I remember that one of the covers was supposedly rarer than the others (was it the Brown one?). I made a point of hunting that down, thinking it would be worth something some day. No such luck. I'm pretty sure I eventually traded it in at the now-defunct MovieStop chain for $1 in store credit.

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Already tried that. No improvement, sadly. The disc freezes up every time at exactly 50:21. What's weird is that if I start fast-forwarding around 50:15, it will let me go right past it. By fast-forwarding and then backing up, I can resume playback starting at about 50:23 with no further...

    Thanks. Hopefully it's just a bad disc I can get replaced.

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Watched the disc tonight. Looks terrific on my screen. There might be a slight red push, but it really only seemed overdone in a couple of brief instances. Unfortunately, my copy freezes at 50:21 on my OPPO 203. I assume that's the layer change. I can fast forward through it, but if I try to...

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Looking only at flesh tones, the older transfer may seem to have natural colors, but everything else is super drab. That said, I will agree with you that these two examples seem to have a red push in the UHD screenshots. However, given how problematic downconverting HDR and Wide Color Gamut...

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    I haven't seen the UHD yet and can't comment on it, but I will say that Reservoir Dogs never had a "gritty" look like some of you may think it should. Yes, the movie was a low-budget production, but it was shot mostly in a single tightly-controlled environment (very few exteriors or natural...

    I saw it twice theatrically. The first time, my friends and I had trouble finding the theater and arrived a few minutes late, missing the opening scene. I went back to see it in another theater the following week.

    Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    I wouldn't say that few bothered to see it. Rather, the film only had a very limited theatrical release (Wikipedia says 61 theaters) before being rushed to home video. The movie caused a sensation at Sundance, and was hugely buzzed on the art film circuit while it played that fall. It was one of...
