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 āruleā doesnāt 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 donāt 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 Iām also interested to know because this is one I want and itās 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

Yeah it seems that they say the discs are region locked when they actually arenāt. 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 Iāll probably get that.
The transfers for Mill Creekās Blu-rays were quite a surprise. I wonder how good these ones will be. Both very good spaghetti westerns.

Didnāt realise it disappearing from everwhere was such an affair, but I guess that makes a lot of sense.
Niceā¦ I agree that Mill Creek has done surprisingly good blu ray releases that are very cheap. I think that sometimes these budget companies do some of the best releases, because they donāt have the funds to screw with the video a lot by filtering and all that crap. They just release the HD scan as-is, which is how I prefer.
Guess I need to sell my Gatling Gun DVD before it hits 
I see that Amazon lists it as unavailable with Apr 19, 2016 release dateā¦ guess it must have been delayed. Wonder if it will be delayed again, and possibly be one of these that never show up

Wow, the Django situation is a mess. I sold my BU copy ages ago in preparation of the new release, and Iām just thankful I got my copy. Preordering from DiabolikDVD was a great move.
I didnāt pre-order in time on Amazon because I was waiting to get my gift card balance up to cover the whole thing instead of just paying like normal, and thatās on me. I only wanted the set for the commentaries, though I looked forward to a new transfer on Django. I donāt like Texas, Adios or the commentators listed for the track but I still wanted to listen.
But I think Iām done buying new from Blue Underground. Not that they do good work with blu-rays as it is, but Iāll just buy used. Previously I even bought Man, Pride & Vengeance at launch, even though itās not a SW, because of the messages from BU that it needed to sell in order to produce future SWs. I still havenāt even watched it because like I said, itās not a SW, but only bought it due to the implied blackmail, paid full price to do my part for SW fandom.

I pre-ordered just the Texas Adios Blu-Ray from Amazon.ukā¦After receiving it in the mail today, and viewing itā¦I can confirm it is all region, as it plays in my US spec Blu-ray player just fineā¦
Iād also like to note that Arrow came through again on qualityā¦Only about 10% of the film looks SDā¦

Thanks for that info!
Yea thanks for providing that info and confirming region freeā¦ or at least region A/B. Its a good example of Arrow listing as Region B only on their specs but it not actually being true
Glad to hear the quality is good also

Hope KLās new transfer isnāt as bad as the FOD transfer. $30 for just FaFDM is a bit much when the German 2-fer is under $20.

The German Blu-ray is perfect for me minus the German opening credits (I know Iām being a bit picky with this one). Unless Kino actually manage to surpass the picture quality on the German release, Iām not interested. I see no reason to buy an inferior transfer when thereās a better one available.
Guarantee Kinoās disc wonāt be uncut like the German one.
