One release too many for this movie.
Love spine of steelbook and slip .

That's actually nicer than zavvi's imo. Obviously not buying it with that title though, or at that crazy price!

I agree. Way too expensive and honestly I despise none English titles. It would ruin it for me, which is why I never got the Showdown in Little Tokyo Metalpak.

It's a French film though.

Just ordered it via ESC. €131 with shipping to Germany (incl. 10% discount code).

Love the artwork and the goodies! 10000x better than the Zavvi edition!

That steelbook is gorgeous much better than the zavvi exclusive!!!

It's an English language French film, packed full of English and American actors lol but yeah, let's let Gaumont do Gaumont lol

If you order from Esc Distribution, it's 112,49 € + shipping. At least that's the price to USA.

Judging by the price drop when you add in the destination country, that'll be with French VAT removed though, which I guess is ok for the import regulations for you guys in the US.

I'm relatively sure they won't collect UK VAT, so UK buyers are likely to get lumbered with customs fees ontop of the €120.

Total price will jump to around the £135-140 GBP mark. So we're better off ordering from FNAC for about £132, who do pay UK VAT, and is just under the £135 import tax free limit.

Damn that's really nice, will get this one as well. Will it be on Amazon?

 

[GrimmReapah]

Why is this so expensive ? I mean if its the same quality as everythingblu i get it... but this likely will be a standard slipbox with almost no special treatment and a matt steelbook. Or am i wrong? And the french title definitely kills it

 

[Noodles]

Much prefer that to Zavvi's... not a single awful filter in sight! Just a shame about the French title.

I think the steel art is by Flore Maquin, the same artist who also did the Leon steel some years back.

 

[subbuteo]

Agree re French title…it’s a (multi) pass from me….

It says FNAC exclusive an the site.

Hilarious the complaints about the French title on a French edition for a French (English-language ) film.

The ONE thing I actually don’t like, is the generic font of the title on the Steelbook.

They could have used the logo there, or just without any title on the Steelbook itself. (Like the Leon Steelbook @Noodles posted).

I usually hate title-less steels, but in this case, I think it'd work.

Ordered through the cheaper link and used a 10% off code to get the price down even more

How did you get it down to 112€? Mine stays at 134€ and also when trying to register I can't find the US in the country list.
