This is such a great film! I still have a 1974 35mm release print in my collection! Last I viewed it the color was still holding up, but a little faded (which is amazing because by all rights it should be completely pink). This is one BD that I'll be getting.

I've been waiting for a 42nd Anniversary Edition of this!

Is this going to be different from the 2011 version on Blu-ray?

 

[Randy Korstick]

Lots of new extras on this one and I didn't get the first Blu so I'm in. This is one of the best films of the 1970's Robert Shaw has incredible screen presence in this movie.

I would also like to know if this will be a better transfer than the 2011 BD release.

I was thrilled with the idea of THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE on Blu-ray back in 2011, but as I recall, I thought the transfer was just a tad on the dark side. Others suggested that the movie was *supposed* to be dark - and I accept that, but I still think it could stand a little brightening.

Also, wasn't it one of those Best Buy exclusives for its initial entry into the marketplace?

Go to the Kino thread its listed there with all the extras. It doesn't mention new transfer so I would guess its the same.

I do hope this is better than the 2011 blu ray release, which was much to dark, especially the subway sequences.
