Pre-Order Reservoir Dogs (1992) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

I don't know what's going on, but the link in Ron's post is dead and Amazon no longer shows it coming.

That happens quite often with Amazon. It will be back at some time.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Good old Amazon. At least they're consistent.

Yup, the management of their site is horrible.

Finally! The horrible DNR'd mess that has been around on the blu-ray and streaming channels, since it was first released in Hi-def, will finally be watchable on anything larger than an iPhone screen. Reservoir Dogs has never had a decent home theatre release. The Live Home Video LaserDisc was released with both matted and open framing and had one of the worse side-breaks in the history of LaserDiscs.

How do we know Lionsgate won't just recycle a dated master for this release? The studio hasn't given the film a good release on physical media at all - why now? Serious question.

Ah...because this is a UHD, which likely means a new (or new-ish) 4K scan? All of the Blu-rays were done from a circa-2007 master. I doubt that that was a 4K one.

I don't see how you could recycle a dated 1080p master for a 4K UHD release, given you'd probably want to do an HDR pass.

It will be interesting to see if this is a Paramount 4K UHD.

The people using this thread to immediately start clamouring for other Quentin Tarantino titles, are doing it a disservice. This was such an iconic debut. Few bothered to see it theatrically in the States, but it received huge critical acclaim in Europe, especially in the UK. I travelled both to Stockholm and to London to see it theatrically, as it took a long to get a theatrical release in Norway. In fact, the LaserDisc was released in the US, before it arrived in cinemas here. So I projected it for all my fellow students with the university's spanking new state-of-the-art Barco projector in the prestigious Dept. of Anatomy auditorium. I still have the original theatrical one-sheet - the British one, which was way better than the US one.

And the BBFC refused a classification for home video until 1995, so it received a prolonged theatrical life in the UK, which delighted Quentin Tarantino.

Watched the Blu-ray not too long ago after waiting for something better for ages - it was one of the more painful viewing experiences of the last couple of years.

I agree that it was a stunning debut and it should be considered on its own merits.

Hmmmm- not crazy about that cover. A photo of all the gangsters sitting in a group
(at the restaurant in the opening scene) would have been a better choice.

Yeah, I was not pleased with that cover art either.

 

[sleroi]

Clever idea, but I don't think they pulled it off.

As Bill Hunt says: "Don't complain about the cover art. Just be really, really glad you're getting a physical 4K UHD at all".

As I said in another thread about another movie: Producing a UHD release is the hard work, much harder than doing our own custom cover art.

Noooope. If this is accurate it looks like I'll be saving some money by purchasing the standard release.

Agreed, I will certainly not pay extra to get that kind of cover art!
