Another year, another release of Road House.

Don't really see how anyone in the USA would want to import this, over the stellar Vinegar Syndrome edition.

Yeah, I'm going to stick with my VS release as I see no reason to buy this upcoming release.

Looking like the colors on the Arrow are better. Skin tones are less red/over saturated.

It's not enough of a difference for me to invest additional money for a slightly better image.

Where did you see comparisons?

#1, Where are you seeing this comparison?

#2, Are you sure they're comparing UHD to UHD and not comparing against a Blu-ray? Vinegar Syndrome tends to run a little "hot" with their HDR grades. In the VS edition of this movie, there's a noticeable difference in skin tones between the SDR Blu-ray and HDR UHD, despite both coming from the same underlying master.

What we need confirmed is whether Arrow has actually done their own new HDR grade, or whether they've just licensed the VS edition and slapped it into Arrow packaging.

Even if arguably not accurate, the VS disc doesn't look bad. The hot colors don't at all feel inappropriate for this movie.

They updated their VS review w/ the Arrow release.

This guy compared it to the Capelight.


Booklet says it was restored by VS, the 4K master was supplied by Park Circus & the Dolby Vision grading was done by R3store Studios.
