[Blu-ray] Latest and Upcoming Releases šŸ“€

yeah obviously lots of people want this blu ray so I hope they can settle on something

would be a shame for the new scan to go to waste, although Iā€™m still happy with my BU disc

I wonder if BU had plans on a new 4K release or something ā€¦ although I would assume that would require a new scan as well

British Petroleum supports Arrow 100%

Me too, but I feel bad for all the people who got hyped about this release only to be let down. I guess I am lucky that I never got really excited about it.

Got my Texas Adios yesterday! Mostly got it for the extras and it just struck me how nice and charming both Franco Nero and Alberto Dellā€™Acqua come across in the interviews. After seeing Dellā€™Acquaā€™s brother interviewed in the Sartana box it was nice to see this, just seemed like a really cool guy!

Can anyone confirm for me if the UK Texas, Adios standalone blu-ray by Arrow is region free or is it region B locked, please? I might order it from ebay.

Hey, all! I was fortunate and received my copy of Django / Texas, Adios. I enjoyed a rewatch of both, and watching in-motion it seems that the new transfer of Django does look better than the old BU release. But that is just my opinion.

The Texas, Adios transfer was really strong, but there were about 4 instances of some pretty big hiccups. The film transfer was very fluttery. Did anyone else notice this, too? Just want to make sure it wasnā€™t a defect.

I havenā€™t seen any Arrow discs that are region locked. There may be some, but so far Iā€™ve only seen region free from them.

hmmm but their website does state Region B
https://arrowfilms.com/product-detail/texas-adios-blu-ray/FCD1828

Blu-ray.com lists it as untested for Region A

States:
Region A/B-coded.

But I donā€™t know if this is accurate

Virtually everything they only release in the UK is region B locked and everything they only release in the US is region A locked. Sadly. Only the ones released both in the US and UK are region a+b so Texas Adios could very well be that.

I have several arrow blues that are region freeā€¦ including UK importsā€¦ additionally most I have looked up state region freeā€¦

But I donā€™t buy or even look at most releases like yourself so you probably know better

Here in the US, arrow is only known for certain genre titles and as far as Iā€™ve seen these are usually region free

I donā€™t know which US-only titles youā€™ve checked but Iā€™ve got C.H.U.D., Dillinger, Pray for Death, Rage of Honor, Creepshow 2 and Bride of Re-animator and they are all region A locked and the same is the case for most UK-only releases. I know there are some region free releases but as a general rule they are region locked.

Which region A-titles did you check out?

Island of Death is one region free I bought. Bay of Blood is one I imported which i guess is region a, b and when looking at the others I have I guess they are also A,B so I assumed they were region free when they played in my region locked player

Looking them up I still canā€™t confirm they are actually locked because sites just say untested or unconfirmed

Island of Death was released both in the US and the UK so that would be region free. As I said there are cases when the ā€˜ruleā€™ doesnā€™t apply but as a general rule Arrow do lock down their releases when only released in one territory. The region A releases I mentioned are all locked down.

All of the titles I have have been released in both areas but generally are listed as locked when I donā€™t think they actually are, so I just assumed that none are despite what it says

I bought some titles from uk before they were released here or to save on amazon shipping and even tho they are listed as region b they play fine

Anyway, like I said you obviously would know better than i

Also the title being asked about is Texas Adios which now has UK and US release but is still listed as region b locked

If anyone can confirm Iā€™m also interested to know because this is one I want and itā€™s yet to be seen if it will be individually released in US

Somebody on Facebook having imported the region A-set said that both discs played well in his region B player so my guess is that the region B-released Texas adios is aswell. Probably the very same disc. Waiting for 100% confirmation is probably a good idea though :slight_smile:

Yeah it seems that they say the discs are region locked when they actually arenā€™t. I guess this only applies to titles that are released in US and UK because this is all I have bought and wrongly assumed they just listed regions based on country you are purchasing from

I like both films so Iā€™ll probably get that.

The transfers for Mill Creekā€™s Blu-rays were quite a surprise. I wonder how good these ones will be. Both very good spaghetti westerns.
