Our MP gang has been really hauling in the special editions I see!

I'm of course elated for all of you!

Of special note;

@Neil21Harris, may I inquire from where you purchased that lovely Steel for "The Cell" ? Definitely hope to pick that up if possible.  🥰 A beautiful array of other jewels as well!
 

@CAYENNE-FAHRER, very lovely statue of Smeagol/Gollum my friend! Have you purchased any of the other LotR statues?  😀
 

@Hardcore that a very impressive edition of Shawshank Redemption, very happy to see you managed to track down a long sought after treasure buddy. And, I too think that MLIFE release of 300 is one of the nicest editions in my collection. Very happy you were able to track one down!  🤩
 

Oh and @Carl, that is a gorgeous assortment of some very noteworthy fliks! Happy to have you join us here at MP and share pics of your treasures friend! 🤩

 

I'm sure I've missed a few but be assured, I adore seeing ALL these wonderful Blus find welcome homes with our esteemed members. Thanks so much for sharing folks!  🤗

Bloody beautiful, mate. 👌

[Grendel]

I received a few other noted Blus as well;

List:

- Zu; Warriors Of The Magic Mountains: (1983, Nova, slipcase). A delicious fantasy from the indomitable Tsui Hark (Detective Dee fliks +more) John Carpenter states it was a huge influence on his "Big Trouble In Little China" so, you can imagine the wild and zany antics in this little treasure!)

- Lust:Caution: (2007, Nova Spec ed, Scanavo) Tense WWII drama of a Chinese partisan sent to seduce and kill a Japanese official in occupied Shanghai. One of Ang Lee's absolute best!

- Secret Window: (2004, Columbia, amaray)  based on recommendation from @RAK , @mjk & @Scary Hair , grabbed this taut thriller with Johnny being stalked.

- Sinister: (2012, Blumhouse, amaray) I thought I already had this, and when it arrived, I went to file it and yeah, I did. Go figure. Cute little Blumhouse spooky-tooth that helped usher in a tidal wave of similarly themed fliks. Haven't seen any sequels yet, may rectify that soon, unless I hear of a set forthcoming. 🙂

Report back after watching the Secret Window with your review 😁 

 

It happens all the time with me 😅 I buy a movie and when I check I find it already in the collection 😅🤣

[Grendel]

And lastly (for this eve) 🙂 ;

 

I received my long awaited special edition of the UK 'Network' 1989 TV movie "The Woman In Black".

Purchased direct from Network.

Shown supported by the two Hammer productions of the same story(s).

Displayed;

- faded book style slipcase

- amaray edition (1 disc)

- reproduction of the 'Press Book'

- centred, the info booklet with commentary and pics

Support;

- Hammer Films, (2012 production), (Lenti slip amaray) I very much enjoyed this. and

- Hammer Films, WiB2 (2014), not quite the same calibre as the 1st but I enjoyed it on its' own level 🙂 (still looking for a damn slipcase, heh)

@Grendel

Easily in my top ten of all time if not top 5. My lovely wife got this set for me for xmas last year. It kind of started me on my path to collecting special editions and is one of the reasons im here 🤪!

[Grendel]

Thanks @Bones  oh, and @Fortis93 for your support of this great flik.

Checking my db, I now have 4 editions of it. 🥰

I'm anxious to check out my newly arrived edition of Zu; Warriors Of The Magic Mountains, (displayed above) as well, which Carpenter has stated greatly influenced his making of BTiLC.

 

Oh, I just remembered, I owe you a response with regards to Island of Dr Moreau @Bones 😀

It's getting late but I'll be sure to scribble something tomorrow buddy.

Some very lovely new treasures @Veum  🤩

I assuredly envy your accessibility to a variety of retailers Stateside.

[Grendel]

So here's a picture I did not anticipate taking anytime soon. 🙂

 

I just received today, my slip-cased copy of "Split Second" starring Rutger Hauer from 101 Films, via Zavvi.

As I now have 4 copies of the flik, I thought a family photo would be in order.

For those unaware;

Essentially Hauer does his best Sam Spade impression as a hard smokin', hard drinkin', hard cussin', hit first-ask questions-never kinda cop, on the trail of a serial killer in a dystopic future London, where half the city and everyone's temper is under water.

He's teamed up with a book nerd rookie that at first, he has no time for but they soon get along, as they need to, in order to take down a killer that ain't exactly human.

For that, they're gonna need BIGGER GUNS!

List;

- Split Second: (1992) DVD, HBO Video release snap-pack. Was stupid rare for the longest time, no doubt cheap now but the artwork inside and the cover is still gorgeous!

- Same: Blu-ray, '84 release MediaBook. German and English friendly. Great art and a nice booklet included.

- Same: Blu-ray, Regions-ABC, MVD release, O-ring slipcover amaray. Very unique art and has a reversible slip insert on the amaray and a mini-poster inside. I believe 101 Films is disc source as the 4 hours of extras are same.

- Same:: Blu-ray, Region-B, 101 Films release, slip-cased amaray with collectable booklet. Essentially same discs as MVD.

I... LOVE this film! it's beyond cheesy and the cast is having a ball with it!  🥰

 

 

I think @Scary Hair agrees...😉

Nice one!

 

It may be 'beyond cheesy', but I think it's the good kind of cheese. It knows what it is and fully commits to offering a fun, entertaining ride.

 

I also think the great Rutger Hauer's partner, played by Alistair Duncan, is just as good here. The two definitely make an interesting pair.
