Honestly though, the master is from 2019? Thanks for nothing, Paramount for leaving us hanging for three years. Another reason why it needs amazing labels like Kino to give their catalog the respect in needs because it most fucking certainly doesnt get the respect from their own
Edit: now letās hope they have a copy of the uncut long version of approx 130min not Paramounts old 120-something minutes
Ah, man, Kino is always region locked though, which sucks. And I would get a multi region player but thereās just not enough of a reason to justify doing so when everything else Iāve got will already play on what I have.
well, I have to say nowadays that is mostly true, the global situation has vastly improved, but considering one of these can be had for quite a small price tag, it may still be worth it in the long run
Iāll maybe have to consider it.
Koch Films has placed a very obvious hint about title two on their social media channel. Obvious if you consider the German title
California?
Whenever I see a German title I think I havenāt seen it yet

Is this gonna be part of the same series as the Hellbenders with the square box?
Do you have a link? Iāve had a look on their Facebook pages but couldnāt see anything related to a spaghetti western.
it is the third post down on their FB page
Much obliged. Surely it is California/Der Mann aus Virginia? 
It truly does depend on interest and taste. Iām in the US so a Region Free player was a must for me cause I felt like so many more companies in the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etc, cared much more about the cult film and Italian genre film fans, and were releasing stuff that would only receive poor quality DVD releases or cheapo blue tinted recordable discs in the States.
Horror fans in Europe I know tend to go for All Region players cause the 70ās and 80ās ones especially are released completely uncut in the States.
The choice is totally up to you in the end, but I will recommend never buying one that says ārefurbishedā in the description, that usually means it was an amateur job, and the player wonāt last long as the integrity of the mechanics is compromised. Go with companies like Bombay Electronics and 220-Electronics that are pros.
Iāll be in a pickle if Kochās next release in the new series is California. I liked the film for the most part when I saw it for the last Spagvember Fest, but Iām unsure if I wanna upgrade to Blu Ray. If anyone can give me postives to upgrade, please do.
yeah thatās what I mean, Iām in the UK so everything Iāve got works fine, its only a Kino Blu-Ray release of Ace High that would be an issue (got the DVD though so Iām not too fussed any way). I donāt blame you for getting one in the US, totally worth it.
I was also thinking about a region free blu ray playerā¦ however they do get quite expensive if you want also be able to play 4K moviesā¦
I find it quite weird I would have to buy a region free blu ray player to be able to play (in my case) region A locked blu rays while 4K blu rays are apparently region freeā¦ Whatās the point of locking regular blu rays while making 4k blu rays region free?
I hear you, amigo. Itās irritating. Iāve got the Kino Lorber 4k UHD The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, complete with a stack of extras on a region A locked blu that Iām never going to see.
Haha, me too. And yesterday I received Kinoās 4K versions of AFOD and FAFDMā¦ also stuck with extraās I cantā seeā¦
or buy a cheap used Region A locked bluray player as a backup for such cases 
Arrow said that box was coming in 2022 right?
