And I recently sold off my slipbox version as it was my last remaining one. I was going to buy the new standard release but......

 

[replicant81]

How much did you get the blob?

Not sure to keep slipbox or go for this....will probably stick.

 

[theblob]

Only a tenner for it but then I think I paid less. It was a slow seller and seemed to be available for £8 or less a lot of the time so I was happy with that.

I was never a massive fan of the big slipboxes anyway to be honest so it made even less sense keeping hold of just the one.

I quite like it, but what's the transfer going to be like?

 

[chancy007]

Not really a big fan of Maniac Cop it was like a B-Movie personally i thought it was a bit OTT.
Maniac Cop 2 was better
Maniac Cop 3 is just wrong and should have never been made

 

[theblob]

I quite like it, but what's the transfer going to be like?

It'll be the same disc as before and the transfer is pretty solid. It's also at least on a par with the Synapse U.S. disc from all reports.

Live now if you want it

 

[theblob]

Ordered! I'll think about whether to keep it later but probably.

Incidentally, the email says 'second of five extremely limited' Arrow steelbooks. I'm guessing Phenomena and Day of the Dead are two of them but did something else already go on sale?

 

[Goatface21]

Kind of slipped under the radar with the Indy hype but I've ordered looks a nice design

 

[RedDevil85]

First stage Sold Out.

 

[replicant81]

Im surprised its gone before day of the dead.

Ordered one of each but not so sure ill keep that preorder.

 

[RedDevil85]

This can be pre-ordered as part of the Arrow 2 for £30 deal

I remember watching this when i was in school around 1990 when a class mate lent me it I think i remember the cheesy line that came with the trailer

" You have the right to remain silent..........Forever

Cheese on toast

when i was in school around 1990

 

[replicant81]

I thought most of us would have been at school then

1990 I was 9 years old in junior school, dont remember this film but do remember batman trading cards and not being able to see it because it was rated 15.

Lets just say I was working away at that time

This 2 for £30 is going to do my head in.. some reordering to do! I'm guessing these haven't gone as quickly as expected. They should have just done them cheaper to begin with!

Sub £10 I might bite, but nothing else after the last crappy fiasco with V for Vendetta

I was 14 and i had a bit of a business going at school lending my brothers VHS tapes out for a few quid to other kids i think my brother linked to VHS players together and copied them

Any way maniac cop 2 was better i thought good for it's time and a bit of a cult following but would not buy on steelbook. There is no guarantee that will release the other 2 films.

Look at Beverley Hills Cop !! Where are the sequels ???

 

[stigdu]

Just received my 'despatched' email from Zavvi. Looking forward to this one.

 

[Agentcooper82]

Mines also on the way, must admit the eerie music from this stayed with me for ages.

 

[woody23]

Just arrived from zavvi

Lovely

 

[Lateralusuk]

Got mine through today too. I really like the arrow steelbooks and this is another nice one to add to the collection

Out of interest what are the other 4 steelbooks in the limited edition 5 set? I'm sure it's mentioned in one of the other threads but want to make sure I've got them all ordered

Think there was 6 in the end unless 1 of them isn't technically part of it, but with Maniac Cop there was Inferno, City of the Living Dead, Black Sunday, Day of the Dead and Phenomena. There was other Arrow announcements recently too, Killer Klowns and Shivers.

Edit: It was those 6 i mentioned
