Most of what they've been churning out lately already have better versions available from Shout Factory. Like Shameless, they're happy to put out substandard releases for a quick cash grab at minimal expense to themselves which shows lack of respect to the films and the fans. I may sound harsh but it is my honest opinion.
No thats perfectly fair mate. As I said it was just curiosity. To some degree I'm glad at least someone is putting these titles out. I'd guess in certain cases it's where other labels, such as Second Sight or Arrow have lost licenses but own a number of the extras. I suppose it depends on the film, In the case of Joe Dantes Pirhana for instance the Second Sight disc went OOP and Final Cut put it out, as you say in a vastly inferior version. I'd missed out on the Second Sight release but was very reluctant to get the Final Cut one. Glad I held off as the OOP disc turned up in Cex at a very reasonable price.
