The cover art they picked is cool looking, always a treat when they use old school poster art. I just tried emailing them if their release will include the Italian audio, but their contact page isn’t working for some reason.

Can I apply to do the review just in case you don’t get any takers @Admin Seb? All the Blu Ray and 4k players I own are All Region/Region Free. If someone has said yes that’s great, I just wanted to make the offer.

Full specs for the 4k of FAFDM have been released, doesn’t seem to include the Italian audio in the specs anywhere. Very perculiar as FOD has the Italian track.
For a Few Dollars more UK releases
Bluray: Amazon.co.uk
4K UHD: Amazon.co.uk
GBU UK releases (no specs yet but can be pre-ordered)
BluRay: Amazon.co.uk

Savage Guns box Standard Edition arriving in March (no poster&booklet I presume). There’s also a standard edition of The Sisters Brothers. Adding both to the database right now.
Not sure if all is kosher with that Amazon listing, but Death Rides a Horse finally seems to be listed: Death Rides a Horse (Blu-ray): Amazon.co.uk: Lee Van Cleef, John Phillip Law, Mario Brega, Giulio Petroni: DVD & Blu-ray
Two French re-issues added to the calendar.
Charley One Eye will also be released in Germany at some point, by Wicked Vision

it can be done amigo is not English friendly, finally found a source that has the BluRay back cover
I wonder if there will be any really eye-opening clarity once Arrow releases the specs for its GBU edition.
Arrow Films is proud to present this landmark Western in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled, featuring multiple cuts of the film, all meticulously restored in glorious 4K, and a wealth of new and archival bonus materials.
There is a chance that they will publish the specs later, 3pm UK time or so

@Admin I really hope this is indeed going to be the definitive edition but we shall know soon hopefully. We still don’t even know if these are brand new 4k scans or if they are working with the same ones released by Kino.

Explosive Media published its new product preview for the 1st and 2nd quarters. Unfortunately, no new SW releases so far, what a pity…

Perhaps their SW titles didn’t sell too well. Could be interesting to do polls in here at some point finding out how many of us actually bought a given title.
Yes but that’s no news. They stopped SWs a whole ago because they sell badly. Colosseo stopped releasing altogether. The numbers are just crazy low, and the licenses on most cases way too expensive
