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

[@Trekapedia]

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

[@chr0nic_stdsx382]

That's exactly what I'm hoping for

[@mataiguana5]

Surely.

[@SFMarine0311]

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.

[@Therazorschannel]

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

[@johnp4424]

Clash & Wrath 4k! So so Pre-ordered 🥳

[@CoinOpTV]

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

[@djnkosi]

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

[@AlSumait]

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

[@Rweaver]

They did

[@MariaElena-id2vc]

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

[@LinouGertz]

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 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.

[@Cameronofdune]

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!! 👍

[@LaughMuBai]

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

[@aqualiens4080]

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!

[@devonbrooks246]

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

[@LeeTheVet]

Yes, the original 1981 one has some great actors in it. No CGI, all practical effects for the time period.

[@mataiguana5]

Been in the line waiting for a grab.

[@matthouston8411]

[@Dessan01]

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

[@brockmckraken]

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.

[@David-uc6sg]

Grabbing the Mexico Trilogy, Heathers and Lambs.

[@search_eternal]

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

[@chultraz680]

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

[@LeeTheVet]

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.

[@captaintrips2470]

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.

[@aaronlanglois8638]

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.

[@michelle_pgh]

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.

[@AcesHighStudios]

Do you have any idea how many 4K releases are upconversions that look way better than their HD counterparts? Clearly you do not.

[@michelle_pgh]

@@AcesHighStudios Most of those are upconversions from films that were finished at 2k, thus there is more data available to make them better than their blu-ray counterparts. But here we're talking about a film that is entirely native to 1080p, and primitive early 1080p cameras to boot.

[@Jonny-hv6lh]

There still going to be fun to watch

[@jeffcunningham0389]

Evil dead, texas chainsaw massacre, dog soldiers all 16mm and all look tremendous in 4k

[@michelle_pgh]

@@jeffcunningham0389 I don't know if tremendous is the word I'd use. But there is an improvement to be sure. El Mariachi would probably look the most like Evil Dead since they both used the same camera and film stock. Though the budget for Evil Dead was about 10 times what El Mariachi's was and it did have an actual film crew. But again, is it a huge leap? Meh. I could see a case made for El Mariachi in 4k, though. It's also possible the original elements aren't in good enough shape for it. This was low budget filmmaking even by low budget filmmaking standards.

[@mikeyhorror]

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

[@juggalochef2399]

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

[@chr0nic_stdsx382]

I would fuckin LOOOOOVE if we got a kuffs release

[@SniP3rHavOk]

YES! Nekromantik, so exited and the set looks awesome

[@Insomniackuzco]

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.

[@wasabimanz]

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 😂 😢

[@DAVIDDIGS]

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.

[@nelsong27]

[@greenrickyyt]

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.😊

[@davidsandeno9311]

Eyes wide shut please

[@iloveblue7920]

Thats a Warner release, so its up to them when they release it

[@LaughMuBai]

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

[@djchapin2006]

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

[@midlevelmedia]

Eventually

[@MrSmellyPotato23]

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

[@calidude4211]

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 👍

[@Eazy-E-40]

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.

[@JaketheSnakePlissken]

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.

[@jerryrpettus1926]

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

[@2011Antidote]

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! 😂

[@iloveblue7920]

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

[@theshakyproject2971]

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.

[@blackphilipalvarez1305]

Rodriguez himself edited all these movies himself.

[@theshakyproject2971]

@@blackphilipalvarez1305 Yes. He initially assumed El Mariachi would only go as far as the Spanish home video market. When it made a big impression at Sundance, Sony (Columbia/Tri-Star at the time) bought the distribution rights and gave him $7 million and a full-blown crew to make Desperado. He talks about this in the DVD commentaries on both films and his excellent diary/book, Rebel Without A Crew.

[@prentissweston5998]

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.

[@zolarwaka8576]

The Woman is a solid film.

[@captaintrips2470]

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.

[@wil89098]

Once upon a time should have had a 4k.

[@richardbaker183]

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.

[@monijam1]

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

[@rubenvilla1675]

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

[@michaelcarver540]

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

[@ouroborosproductions]

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

[@midlevelmedia]

That’s what I’ve heard now.

[@bigmoviefreak]

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.

[@garyrichardson475]

IM EXCITED FOR MEMENTO MORI: THE JÖRG BUTTGEREIT COLLECTION

[@shaunalan4968]

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

[@MalikC2030]

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

[@AbyssIsOwO]

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

[@LaughMuBai]

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

[@444chroma]

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

[@thegamegeezer5424]

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

[@slate49]

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.

[@SteviesCornerYouTubeChannel]

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.

[@IngiDee]

Same here in Australia. It's actually a joke. Thinking of cancelling my preorder and holding out for a regular version. It's just stupid expensive

[@SteviesCornerYouTubeChannel]

@@IngiDee I preorder it directly from 'Unobstructed View' few weeks ago, the Kino and Arrow Canadian distributor. It's currently 49$ + tx + shipping so it will cost me ±60$. Still expensive but for a item like that, collector stuff it's reasonable.

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.

[@blackphilipalvarez1305]

It’s horror, it’s psychological and a thriller which can indeed be a horror movie. So is Se7en, The Terminator and Jaws. But opinions right?

[@garyrichardson475]

@@blackphilipalvarez1305 Maybe true but it bugs me when pretentious film critics do a top 10 horror list and half the films are ones where horror isn't the point. (Silence of the Lambs, Jaws, The Babadook, Sixth Sense, Phantom of the Opera, etc.) Seem like those critics don't really like the genre.

[@Bob-Savage]

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.

[@search_eternal]

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

[@jjchmiel78]

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.

@@blackphilipalvarez1305 You are a fountain of misinformation man. Yes they did screw up the first 20 minutes color-wise and screwed up the sound as well. Arrow has already confirmed they fixed it.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

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.
