this blu ray collection going for a tenner on Amazon and Tesco's

Attachment 94688

Just bought this plus the Lethal Weapon films for £12 and the Rockys for 20 - blimey I had to spend a lot more back in the day on the DVDs. The one boring thing is the lack of extras on the Stallone Blu-rays is very boring.

They're nice transfers though

would the blu rays being bare bones,be the reason there so cheap? and yeah nice PQ especially considering the price and how many films you get.

The Warner discs have any extras that were on the US DVDs (commentaries on COBRA and DEMOLITION MAN, little else besides trailers).

Pretty sure the only Rocky films that had extras on DVD were the first and sixth - almost all these are on the Blu-ray set bar the commentary on the first film. The first film is barebones in the set but most of the missing extras are on the bonus disc

There's a rather unsavoury tale concerning Stallone in the Don Simpson 'High Concept'!

Oh yeah at that price you can't complain and it's the films I want - I just find it boring that most of these films never get any deluxe treatment when so many dull actioners do - but I'll take a BD of The Specialist any day (guilty pleasure) - the John Barry score is tremendous. Does anyone know if they're all uncut - as in the old UK Tango and Cash DVD was cut and so on...

Is it me but did The Specialist soundtrack kept breaking into almost Bond like music whenever Stallone punched/shagged or blew things up?
