Now only if Anchor Bay could give me a Perfect Edition of Army of Darkness.

We've known these specs for ages! It's been delayed forever, though. It was originally supposed to come out about four months ago (and it had a date even before that), but that never happened. I just hope it finally comes out, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it delayed until Halloween.

Now only if Anchor Bay could give me a Perfect Edition of Army of Darkness.

That's easy. That the MGM R2 release. Just get that.

Its been known for ages it would be a 4 disc set but the details were released only a few days ago.

They opted to release the barebones version instead of this version to cash in as usual.

Typical Anchor Bay.

Its been known for ages it would be a 4 disc set but the details were released only a few days ago.

If you mean by technical details, maybe, but I knew of the three different cuts, the documentary disc and commentary selections awhile ago. Galleries and bullshit are par for the course with sets like this. No surprise.

I'll just be happy to see if Anchor Bay will release a set that was supposed to be out almost a year ago.

DISC FOUR: DOCUMENTARIES
• DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD, The original documentary filmed during the making of DAWN by Filmmaker Roy Frumkes

Fantastic! Document of the Dead is a great flick; I finally watched it when a friend gave me his VHS original, working on the assumption that it would be re-issued with this set. Fortunatly, he was right. Yeah, this set is going to rock.

Crap I was hoping this was about the remake. I like the original too but I really do prefer the remake.

lynch him

but yea, ive been waiting on this 4disc set forever. the argento cut is freakin amazing and i can't wait to own it on dvd.

 

[Ecrofirt]

so what's different in the extended edition and european edition?

 

[shuri]

Different soundtrack, and the euro version has some scenes removed (like the heli zombie head decapitation) and some scenes are longer. A bunch of various scenes were removed also. The director's cut is superior.

 

[Dead]

Excellent, this will soothe the wounds of the awful remake
