They do indeed; that’s where I got mine and that’s what I paid. As a result I somewhat hastily jumped to the conclusion that @Companero_M was talking about there (like, maybe they’d sold out and were down to sellers who weren’t shipping abroad or something, which doesn’t make much sense either if I stop to think about it, which I clearly haven’t :slightly_smiling_face:), and so offered an alternative.

So, there you go, Martin! You can get your Jodorowsky on. :+1:

It’s Arrow themselves that havet set the UK and Ireland only restriction in their own webshop. Never seen that with any UK release before.

Ah, right, I’m with you. :+1: Yes, that’s a bit strange. Sign of things to come? Brexit and all that? I don’t know.

Awesome! I have been waiting for a bit of TOHO action to add to the shelf!!

Thanks a lot! The BFI link is great (I avoid Amazon).

You’ll get a lot of fun with that Lenzi/Baker set, I’m about half way through it myself.

I’ve got the Shameless edition of Mrs. Wardh, but I might upgrade down the road. An excellent Thriller also.

I already own ‘Ip Man’ 1-3, which I greatly enjoy. I have yet to watch ‘Ip Man 4’, and have so far only read mixed reviews, which I’m taking with a grain of salt…
In my opinion, the first two were outstanding, especially the first.
When ‘4’ goes down in price a wee bit more, I’ll add it to my Donnie Yen collection… :smiley:

I spent a little more than I intended on this, but Tomas Milian is one of my top 10 Foreign Cinema actors so it was worth it; and I always kicked myself for missing out on the Raro Video Italy DVD

Just picked up a copy of this … never seen it before, but it does have some fav’ actors in early roles … Stanley Baker.

The reviews aren’t promising, to put it mildly … but this one from IMDB is so savage that I thought it worth sharing … it’s so full of venom I wondered if it had been written by an ex-girlfriend :rofl:

Amongst all the other ‘greats’ on show, this dreadful over-acting ham really scaled the heights of grotesque rubbish in this film. As always, he delivered his lines in that constipated, yet far too rapid way. Please also look at the scene where he stabs his father’s killer…if you need lessons in putrid acting, look there. The battle scenes were short and pathetic; the costumes laughable. Then there were the cities. Seems all the money went on the alcoholic, as there was little or no attempt at accuracy and/or grandeur. Michael Hrodern was OK though!

Dire film capped by this dire little man. Along with that Brando creature and Olivier, this idiot goes to show how stupid, crass and ridiculous actors are. Oh, and their fans. Execrable filth.
