Great review! New to the channel, will def be sticking around. Re the eye shot, I think what you're looking at is in fact VHS and I think I read somewhere that they actually shot a tv screen, which would account for it's crapness, but I can't produce a source, can't remember where I read it. It's been consistently like that over all releases from what I understand.
Great to hear your enjoying the channel Jonny! Welcome aboard 👍😃 yeah re. that scene, i’ve since watched another youtube review where he said the same. Recorded the screen so they could apply the optical overlay effect to that footage maybe? Probably a few 80’s movies that have horror scenes like that out there on 4k for the same reason 😩 lol Cheers for watching mate and for your comment 👌
Good honest review. It may not be a huge improvement over the 2016 blu-ray, but it looks night and day better than my old 2009 blu-ray copy. I guess the dogy looking scenes are just UHD revealing the limitations of the original source.
Thank you mate 👍😀 Try and be as honest as i can whilst being fair at the same time. Can’t just give every new shiny release 5 stars and old ones less because they have older sources etc This ones a mixed bag, looks great in some scenes, ropey as hell in others. I’m sure it will be a big upgrade over the 2009 disc for sure. It’s a slight uptick over the 2016 so i think ur safe to go ahead. Worthwhile new special features also. The full length doc is good. I’ve now watched that too and has recent input from the main cast and crew 👌 thanks for watching 👌
@@ElectricGeekOrdered! I did consider just upgrading to the 2016 blu-ray to save a few quid, but that lovely looking box and the new special features swayed me. Thanks!👍 By the way, have you heard that there's remake in the works with Henry Cavill?
Nice one mate! Hope you enjoy 😃 It’s a really nice boxset 👌 Re. the reboot… yeah i have heard it’d a passion project for Henry Cavill as apparently he’s half Scottish? I meant to mention it in the video and forgot! 🤦🏻♂️ lol My hot take was gonna be that I think Cavill would make a great Kurgen as opposed to McLeod but I heard Dave Bautista is linked to that role? Not sure it’ll ever happen now with Cavill donning the red cape and pants again 🤔we’ll see…
Just discovered your channel mate thanks to John at mondo, being a Glasgow boy myself its great to hear a familiar accent. Absolutely adore this film and I picked up this set. This release is 100% my best release of last year. I do prefer a amaray or steelbook in these sets but apart from that its a great set. This movie having a nice 4k edition has been a long time coming. Great informative in depth review, a breath of fresh air, the effort you have put in is much appreciated 👍 Mulcahys eye is superb, i love how he moves the camera. You should check out His 'Razorback' if you havnt seen it, another masterclass in moving the camera. Ill defo be checking out more of your vids sir! Take it easy.
Thanks man! Thanks very much for subbing and checking out my content mate. It’s much appreciated. I’m really pleased u’ve enjoyed my in depth style. I can’r help myself lol i’ve tried shorter videos and more brief styles but it’s just not me. I like to take my time and be thorough so i’m glad u appreciate it and take something from it. I have heard of Razorback as his first movie is that right? Australian film. I definitely check it out. Highlander has very distinct visual style like u say. Think it was unfairly criticised and dismissed at the time as being ‘too much like a music video’ but i think it worked great in this film. Cheers again mate
It’s a cracking set mate, really pleased to own it. The comic book and the badges are nice touches. Booklet is an interesting read also. Top that off with over an hour of new special features too and it’s definitely worth it 👍 thanks for watching
Yeah the VHS artwork is very iconic. I like Matt Ferguson’s style tho so i like the boxset. At least it’s included as an art card 👌 Thanks for watching Gareth 👍
Yeah it will mate, 4K discs are almost all multi-region so can be played on any player regardless of what region you’re in 👍The accompanying blu ray is locked to Region B, UK & EUROPE so you won’t be able to play it or the legacy special features but all the new features are on the 4k disc anyway 👌 hope this helps 😃
Yeah u could be right mate! ☺️ I really enjoyed doing this one, was a blast rewatching. I think when i get ‘enthusiastic’ I speak quicker and more with my native Ayrshire accent! Hope u could still understand me! Cheers for watching pal 👍😃
