Breaking DOWN The ARROW Video August 2024 Announcements | Silence Of The Lambs, Desperado, And MORE! 

I like Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon. They are the best cooking shows ever.

Hopefully, Desperado means From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty aren’t far behind! Bring them on please!

Clash & Wrath 4k! So so Pre-ordered 🥳

I finally caved in and got the Desperado blu ray and of course the 4k get released 😂

Kino release has the color timing issue for the first 20 mins or so which really should have warranted a replacement program. The Arrow release is confirmed to have the corrected color timing by FiM.

I want the original Clash of the Titans. I have a feeling this one will be coming to 4K soon.

The Kino Lorber Silence of the Lambs 4K had audio issues and the color timing was off. Hopefully this Arrow release fixes all that.

Here’s hoping Arrow start releasing more titles only previously released by KL for us UK consumers

El Mariachi was shot on really cheap 16mm stock so I don't know that it really needs a 4k. Once Upon a Time in Mexico was one of the first films shot digitally using Sony HDW F900 cameras which were only 1080p resolution. There's no point in a 4k as it'd just be an upconversion, the film itself is a native 1080 resolution, there's nothing to be gained from a 4k version.

I love the original Clash of the Titans it’s awesome! Can’t wait for Desperado I love it!

My dvd of silence has a recipe book in the case

From Dusk Till Dawn, now that would be a worthy 4K!

Already pre order silence of the lambs 4k with exclusive artwork 😊😊

Heathers freaking RULES! Now, what about a Kuffs new release?

I am almost 60 and it feels like we will never get a restored Clash of the Titans original. had the same feeling when I found out it wasthe remake and sequel.

Thanks. Hearing you reason through the Silence release helped me land on getting it as well. lol. 👍🏽

I was in my early teens when I saw Clash & Wrath of the Titans & I really enjoyed them, so the limited edition set from Arrow is an instant buy for me!! 👍

Grabbing the Mexico Trilogy, Heathers and Lambs.

I don't have the Kino Lorber 4k of Silence but have the Criterion blu-ray but are thinking of upgrading anyway! Love the film and love the box!

I'm glad the Mexico trilogy has the original artwork covers with it. The original 3 are way better than the new trope of making every movie group's artwork looking identical... Anyone who has Vudu knows what I'm talking about.

Im actually excited about the Clash of the Titans (2010) set.. sure I saw the original in the theater and it was amazing but so dated now. The Kraken in Clash is unbelievably scaled and I love it! Wrath is amazing too. Already preordered on Diabolik.

Between Criterion and the 4K (both excellent ways to see this film) I’m not over hyped for this release - what I would like to see is an updated Manhunter on 4K from someone like Arrow

I. Am. Beyond excited for Desperado. One of my favorite movies ever made. Been waiting for this one to get the boutique treatment for a long long time. I'll be getting the trilogy set, and getting 'El Mariachi' and 'Once Upon A Time In Mexico' on blu-ray only doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know that even those blu-ray upgrades will be awesome and treated well by Arrow. Desperado is the one that really matters here, and Arrow went all the way with it. Damn man, first Conan and now this. Such an exciting time to be a physical media collector!

Heathers has a nice steelbook Blu-ray edition that was put out some time ago. Yes, there is a steel edition, Ken. Artwork is outstanding. It's a 2-disc edition with artwork throughout. One of Christian Slater's mid '80s movies.

Once Upon a time in Mexico was shot in 1080/24p. So it'd have to be a upconvert.

solo Desperado 4K for me but wait to see if unlimited version is a slip?

Jörg Buttgereit is maybe the most controversial and notorious filmmaker from Germany. During the 80s and 90s Germany was very, very strict and sensitive regarding violence in movies and media. For example Halloween 2 was actually still banned in its uncut version until this very year. Those four movies are very influential and historically important, but quite far out regarding their topics.Surprisingly his movies never were formally banned, because he could successfully claim, his movies are art. If it’s Art in Germany you are safe. If it’s just entertainment or exploitation you often had a hard time regarding the local censorship. Let’s say, those kind of films really couldn’t be made today. Greetings from Germany! Chris

YES! Nekromantik, so exited and the set looks awesome

Kino messed up the first 20 minutes of Silence of the Lambs, which Arrow has promised they’ve fixed. That and the deluxe packaging make it an essential upgradr for many.

Silence of the Lambs is my favorite movie of all time. Take my money Arrow. I’ll probably go with the original artwork. The Arrow UK release looks very similar to the SOTL we got with the 4K release.

thank you so much for the update. will desperado be on amazon? or Mexico trilogy?

Silence of the Lambs pre-ordered!

Definitely watch Heather's!! It's awesome

Tbh I'm more excited for Arrow UK releases. Last year it was The Lighthouse 4K from Arrow UK. This year is Heathers 4K from Arrow UK in August.😊

I’ve been waiting for Desperado

I did pre-order the Titans set already. Sure, I would prefer the original, but I did enjoy these movies and this is a nice looking set.

Just pre ordered silence of the lambs, I been waiting for an edition like this. And I had same reaction to clash of titans box set as you when I realised what it was 😂 😢

Don’t feel bad, Ken. I’m a horrible double dipper when it come to Silence of the Lambs. A new version comes out, I get it. Already preordered this Arrow set. I went with the Arrow store exclusive.

I enjoyed Heathers when I saw it, especially Christian Slater playing his character with a Jack Nicholson impression throughout.

Damn it! Yup, disappointed that it’s not the original Clash of the Titans! That one is in desperate need of restoration, maybe if it ever happens the effects will look bad on 4K but I want it! 😂

Hey Ken, might want to dip your toes into the Jörg Buttgereit pool before diving in head first, lol.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I was CRUSHED when I realized the boxset was NOT the original Clash of The Titans. I guess I’ll get the boxset but not the one I wanted. These 2 films are alright..I liked them… I’ll add it to my collection in hopes to complete it when a 4k of the original does get a released.

88 films 🎥 are smashing it out now tygon collection. Loads on pre order 👌 just had the Italian job 4k special edition collector's set 😊

The Woman is a solid film.

Heather's is easily top 10 comedies. Hysterical

Eyes wide shut please

That Desperado steel looks amazing, the price not as much. **Edit: ** I see why. the price I'm looking at now is $14.99 higher than it is listed in Ken's video.

I want a nice arrow or vinager syndrome box of Lightning Jack with new interviews with Paul Hogan and Cuba Gooding Jr

Once upon a time should have had a 4k.

Ken's buying the silence 4k just for the poster and art cards. 😂

Heathers is a must get. There'd be no "Mean Girls" without Heathers...

So ditch/ Sell the KL Version, i have the KL version US Import, played very very well. Remember Desparados but i would need to see it again before buying it. Good selection, very surprised at Silence of the Lambs when KL RELEASED IT IN 2022, i bought it late last year for £30

Desperado is a great film. It has to be one of my favorite Salma Hayek movies. Not sure why that Pendejo guy is on the steelbook. Didn't he just play a big pussycat with a sword in some other movie? Or was it a cartoon? Not sure. Nice work Ken 👍

Desperado is a great 90s film. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet...I have the old disc...I'm good with the kino Silence of the Lambs and the old Heathers' disc.

You've never seen Heathers... what's your damage, Ken?!?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

I used to really like Heathers back in the day you should pick it up lol.

El Mariachi was filmed on really cheap 16 mm stock, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico was filmed digitally in HD. I'm not too sure there is much the 4K format has to offer for those two movies.

Definitely a bummer it wasn’t the OG Clash of the Titans. The OG 4K seems right up Arrow Video’s alley. I’d love for them to Jason and the Argonauts 4K as well.

Titans are fun, but would love a Jason and the Argonauts 4K...

Desperado definitely on 4k Ultra HD Steelbook 👌 I already have The Silence Of The Lambs from Kino Lorber on 4k so this I don't need.

IM EXCITED FOR MEMENTO MORI: THE JÖRG BUTTGEREIT COLLECTION

Once Upon a Time in Mexico was shot using early HD cameras, so it should be fairly easy to convert to 4K (no film negative to scan first). El Mariachi, however was shot on 16mm film and edited on VHS. I don't know if Robert still has access to the original master. Regardless, I think all three films are still owned by Sony, so I don't think it's a rights issue. I was just about to buy the Blu-ray steelbook of Desperado for $14, but now I'll definitely wait for the 4K. Still unsure about the From Dusk till Dawn 4K. It's owned by Paramount. Only time will tell.

Not a fan of steel books so not interested in the ‘Desperado’ stand alone. The Mexico Trilogy, for a few extra bucks, it’s a nice looking set. Artwork is ok. It would look better if it were just the back of Banderas’ jacket from Desperado - the scorpion.

I don’t really see a problem with El Mariachi and Once Upon a time in Mexico not getting 4Ks one was shot with 16mm for $7,000 so the upgrade quality not so high and the other was shot on 1080p cameras so never gonna be a true 4K

Oh Ken you have to check out The Woman, definitely a top 20 horror of the 2010’s. Think the X-Files episode The Jersey Devil but more twisted. I think you’d love it.

The Woman is part of a trilogy. Offspring/The Woman/Darling. Kino did a poor job on Silence of the lambs, Arrow have confirmed they have fixed the colour timing issue

Oh, that Mexico Trilogy is disappointing to hear they're not all 4K's -- swerve!

Um Ken, isn’t Arrow Video a UK based company? It shouldn’t be surprising that they get everything lol 😂

Ugh it finally happened. Just a few weeks Ago I purchased the Jorg Buttgereit's 4 movie collection. "Sex, murder, Art" It collects his 4 most well known films. I'm still very new to physical media and I always hear stories of people buying something and an upgrade being announced shortly after At least it wasn't a 4k announcement 😂 and I did get the collection for a good price about $30. usually go for $60-$70

I don’t have any of the Mariachi films on Bluray, so this still works for me. But yeah, they all should have been in 4K. My guess is just Miramax trying to extort an exorbitant amount for the 4K rights, and Arrow can only afford to spend on one. Harvey’s got a lot of legal fees to pay.

Desperado is one of my fav. BUT, I'm from Montreal and the current U.S. listed price, it would cost me 110$ Canadian. It is completely ridiculous and frustrating to pay that much for 1 movie.

Desperado was a movie I watched a hundred times as a kid. Really looking forward to that. Sorry Ken but silence is psychological thriller, not horror.

I want movies I don't already have I already have silence of the lambs on 4k

a definitive version of The Silence of the Lambs is what I'm after. But I can check out Heathers too :)

KINO release of Silence was amazing. But a 4K release of Desperado and Heather's. Hell yes!!

i assume silence of the lambs will have a better stereo mix which how it was mixed originally. The kino Lorber stereo mix wasnt all that great… hope Arrow delivers sonething better… but if it sais newly restored stereo mix i am confident that this is gonna be better…

Actually the Arrow video is going to be better then the previous 4k releases because it was confirmed that it has fixes for the film that the previous release had problems with

Silence of the Lambs is not horror but a suspense/crime-thriller. It has a dark creepiness that enters horror territory. Yet, not quite horror.

I was excited for the titles, and then I decided to make lemonade as my wallet won't be hurting. I would have so bought the original Clash of the Titans. Since it is not, no buy. Mexico Trilogy caught my eye, but since only Desperado is 4K, another no buy. Silence of the Lambs 4K I am good with my Kino release and don't need the extra features. Arrow August releases don't get any of my money.

You will need a shower after watching Nekromantik.

I believe his name is pronounced “Yorg Boot-Ger-A”

The woman is a sequel to the offspring and the better of the 2. Pollyanna Mcintosh is Jadus on TWD . That's her on the cover.. they are based on Jack Ketchum books

I was waiting so long for the Mexico Trilogy, but Blu Rays?? Nope.

The Mexico set its always a rights issue chh and cereal at midnight has done interviews with guys who work at these places and it's always rights issues I'm ok with it its not a problem to me I don't see how it is

The Desperado 4k Arrow steel is on pre-order @ Diabolik for $39.99.

4K of silence already exists

YES. Please buy Heathers. It's a 80's classic and a movie that probably could not be made today.

My already poor wallet took a hit this morning 🥴

$60 for Desperado? Have they lost their minds?

How have you not seen Heathers Ken? It’s a cult classic but yea I just preordered the Mexico Trilogy and the Titans films. I can wait on Heathers.

Not 1 chunky boxset w/ booklet. Typical. I’ll be holding off on them for august. Some good stuff but they are cheeping out on their stuff lately. I’ll buy arrow when they get back to chunky sets with booklet

The Kino Lorber release of Silence of The Lambs is flawed. The first TWENTY MINUTES of the movie is in the wrong color space. And the 2.0 is not the original 2.0 mix. It is a down mix of the 5.1 mix. Now Arrow has stated that they are providing a "newly restored original lossless 2.0 stereo track". It has been reported that Arrow has corrected the color space issue. THIS WILL BE THE GO TO EDITION!!!!

Many don't know about the issues with the Kino disc... You don't have to think outside of the box to know that Arrow's UHD of Silence of the Lambs is likely going to blow the Kino out of the water. First, it's known that Kino messed up the first 20 minutes by placing the first reel in the wrong color space. Meaning that the first 20 minutes of the movie in HDR is desaturated. The movie is already very gritty in its cinematography, but somehow Kino was given a bad master. Not many people actually talk about this. Kino certainly avoids this fact. HDR is supposed to have superior color. But Kino's disc was graded wrong. Fidelity in Motion have already confirmed that they did work on the movie and got that first part of the movie the way it is supposed to look. Sure, the Kino's resolution is pretty good. But the color is definitely desaturated. Just compare the UHD with the Blu-ray that came with it. The Blu-ray's color timing, color grade, looks much better on the first reel than the UHD. But if that doesn't bother you, there's no need to upgrade from the Kino. Second, Kino's stereo audio is a down mix of the 5.1. Arrow has taken the time to get the audio right. It's been mentioned that the Criterion has the proper audio but has less than stellar compression. Now, we can have both better saturated color timing for the first reel, and the actual stereo surround. But if proper audio and picture quality doesn't matter to you, stick with the Kino. I wish more knew about this. And the fact that Kino wouldn't admit to their mistake. Well, Arrow has confirmed it and it is going to be fixed.

We get the crap new 4k films with bad art work as i am from the uk and i like return of the living dead 4k but nope we don't get that only the old blu ray version i also want evil dead army of darkness in 4k steel book guess what nope its not in the uk either so i have to take a chance and buy it hoping the steelbooks are not going to get damage all the way from the usa to uk and on top of that pay out almost double because of shipping cost i m sure this happens to you as well where films you want are only uk or other country's

A lot of those special features o the silence of the lambs feel like straight up filler.

You're questioning The Woman as though it's some art house film that no one has seen. It was being talked about A LOT upon release, and a huge amount of people who are horror fans around the time have seen it.

Damn wanted a chunky boxset for Silence but don’t want the slipcover version lame

The OFFSPRING is the first movie and The WOMAN is the second movie this is a trilogy. They are good movies.

Im so pumped for the Mexican trilogy. Silence is a thriller, not a horror and Carrie sucks. 😂
