Another nice release from Arrow but not a big fan of the film so pass for me.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

This looks fantastic!

 

[metaldemon666]

£49.99 + 10 £ shipping (europe) is quite a lot.

Looks good, new transfer, and very personalised.

But you have to pay now and what if you don`t like it anymore? Sale on with your complete name on it? Who wants to buy that?

 

[matt84]

Very nice, went for the 4th design as it's never been used before and different.

 

[Noodles]

Wish I was a bigger fan of the film... really nice looking edition!

Ordered personalised with artwork choice 1

I already have the Zavvi steelbook and even though the artwork choice 1 is the same I went with this as it looks the best to me

I thought StudioCanal had this film, not Arrow?

I thought StudioCanal had this film, not Arrow?

Arrow got the rights to the film last year
This is a new remastered version with previous extras and new extras

The studioCanal Steelbook version is poor picture quality and no extras but artwork was good

The Arrow version will be the one to have in your collection

Thanks, I have only just ordered the zavvi steelbook, however that was really only for the artwork. I haven't tried the disc yet so I'll probably not bother and get this. Thanks for the info.
