And just like that, after a year and a half of work, all eight Gamera Blu-rays are signed off and delivered for replication. Hope you all enjoy them in a couple of months - easily the biggest and most intimidating project I’ve ever done.

So, the big controversy from today’s
@ArrowFilmsVideo
announcement: no 4K UHD for Legend. As I hinted a few weeks ago, there are sound reasons for this, and I’m going to try and explain why in this thread.

I'm thrilled we've finally been able to bring Conan The Barbarian and Conan The Destroyer to UHD! Both films look and sound stunning, and we've worked our socks off to produce and find as many extras as possible. No deleted gore for either film I'm afraid - that remains lost.

Here we go, at long last! First details of the biggest release I've ever produced, and by far the most thorough attempt so far at restoring Bruce Lee's films to original (and multiple) versions and assessing them from a film history/cinephilia perspective.

THREAD: Hello! So you might be wondering why this month's AV announcements are looking much slimmer than usual. Don't worry, it's not a signal that things are going down the tubes at Arrow HQ - quite the opposite. (1/8)
Near-death experiences and a duo of action-thrillers. Which release is your top pick for August?

I haven't worked on any of these (beyond some help with Chucky QC) so can safely say all of these are essential purchases worth all of your hard-earned dosh. The Warriors restoration (of the theatrical cut, which *is* Walter Hill's preferred version!) looks very fucking tasty.
It's the most wonderful time of the year with Chucky, tinsel-town, bloody Italian Westerns and an American cult classic.

Second Sight have very rightly gotten all of the back-patting today - John Seale's cinematography really is extraordinary and absolutely elevates the film, so knowing that this is getting a scan from the OCN instead of a knackered print really is reason to rejoice.
Happy New Year everyone! And to kick of 2022 some very exciting news on THE HITCHER! We've tracked down the negative!! 😁 Thanks to Warner’s archive team for allowing us access, we will be doing a full restoration for 4K/Blu-ray release later this year.

These are Scott’s notes from the 2011 Blu-ray explaining the inherent quality issues on the Director’s Cut master. He sums it up well; even though an answer print is often struck direct from the negative, there is significant generational quality loss that cannot be reversed.

We got an e-mail from someone recently, excitedly proclaiming that they'd done a 2K scan of a theatrical print and as far as they could tell no-one was claiming to own the rights so did we want to release it? Er... no. Massive congrats to

So here’s the deal: the Arrow Blu-Ray, in addition to awesome new extras, has both Director’s and US cuts in the best quality they’ve ever been seen in. It’s still a stonking upgrade, thanks in no small part to those neg scans of the one cut that’s unfortunately missing.

One thing to warn Region B-locked viewers about with Shawscope Vol 2 - the BBFC have made us cut 15 seconds of (frankly quite horrid) monkey-swinging animal cruelty, which will only play uncut in Region A. Everything else, however, is totally uncut, including The Boxer's Omen! 😱

If Disney ever play ball and the opportunity ever comes to do a UHD with three cuts, we can re-assess what to do with the Director’s Cut, whether it’s a rescan or AI upscaling with fake grain and fake HDR (as I know one non-US label has done without you lot noticing)...

Obviously we wanted to, and it’s not Universal stopping us (they have no plans either AFAIK). It’s a visually stunning film and I understand people’s dismay when Alien and Blade Runner are both on UHD and they want Legend to sit alongside those. Believe me, I get it. But...

Make no mistake, if Arrow does a new 4K master, whether it’s Tremors or King of New York or Donnie Darko, and spend as much as we do on restoration, UHD authoring etc, we want it to be a massive improvement. Legend in this form would not qualify.

We tried very, very hard to make headway with Fox on clearance to include the International Cut as an extra, but no dice. Ever notice that the International Cut’s never been released in the US, nor the US cut in the UK? You need both to sign it off and we couldn’t make it happen.

It’s important to understand Legend’s post-production and release history and the materials issues relating to it, which is much more complex and fraught than Alien or even Blade Runner, both of which have enjoyed multi-million dollar restoration projects by Fox and Warner.

The negative of Legend is conformed to the 93-min International Cut... and here’s where things get tricky. The negative is owned by Universal, there’s even a Universal copyright at the end... but Fox/Disney own distribution rights to that particular version of the film.

Once again for those at the back: there is no surviving negative of the longer cut, and any 4K improvement on what’s been released before would have been nominal and not currently worth the substantial hassle and expense. One day, that may change... but not today.

The Director’s Cut was restored from one of only two surviving 35mm answer prints, with additional post-production by Universal. There is no better quality source for this version, certainly not a negative. So why not scan the answer print in 4K? I mean, go big or go home right?

We went ahead and did a 4K scan of the negative anyway, knowing we could still put it to some use and hoping that we might be able to pull off a miracle and clear a US/UK edition with all three cuts, which might make UHD a little more feasible logistically and financially.

Simply put, you've never seen the films look and sound this good before, and I can't believe our luck in the amount of material we've been able to dig up, not least the long-assumed lost scenes from The Big Boss (no, not the saw in the head I'm afraid) and The Game of Death.

Some wise aleck might be piping up with one of the rare examples to prove me wrong. “What about the Cannes cut of Dawn of the Dead, restored in 4K HDR from a CRI!” True, but the Cannes cut is a curio, not Romero’s preferred cut that most people would reach for before any other.

Reputation is an important factor too. Alien and Blade Runner are undisputed classics, one an instant franchise-spawning hit and the other a hard-earned unlikely triumph. Legend has still never quite enjoyed that level of respect, as much as we may love it.

Universal spent a lot of money in 2011 getting the Director’s Cut to look as good as it does in HD, but make no mistake: its imperfections would be utterly naked in 4K, and the diminished dynamic range would make HDR a moot point.

(Side note: if you desperately want this cut of the film, it is still available on Blu-ray from Fox in the UK and elsewhere – for now! Just a shame you haven’t seen our master of it which looks even better…)

You may ask, “Why not use the negative to make the Director’s Cut look even better? It’s only 20 mins shorter, right?” In fact, there are so many tiny cuts and minute differences throughout that less than an hour of negative material could be used in a Director’s Cut restoration.

So even if we used our 4K negative scans to upgrade portions of the Director’s and US cuts, what does that leave us on UHD? Two compromised, Frankenstein masters that would inevitably fall short of people’s high expectations, no matter what we did.

Everyone should look forward to some fantastic EPK interview quotes from Dino, the most Italian Italian that ever did Italian, in the extras on Conan the Barbarian soon...
"Dino De Laurentiis interviewed me for his 1976 remake of KING KONG. I remember asking Dino what it was about, thinking he was taking an anti-colonialist slant with the material. He looked at me strangely and said, 'What's about? It's about big-a-monkey!'" - John Hancock

Because at least then there’ll be one cut of the film that looks amazing, 100% restored from negative, which would make the visual flaws in the other two cuts a little more forgivable. I sincerely hope it happens one day... but knowing what we know, don’t hold your breath.

There's so much else I'm excited to share soon, including further details on The Final Game of Death, which may be the most ambitious project I've ever undertaken as part of an Arrow release... but that will all have to wait until the end of the month. For now, get pre-ordering!

DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE (1979)
“A GREAT FILM… A dark, gruesome and nasty little gem deserving of a loftier placing in horror history. Ignore the warning and go in.” -
