NEW UK TITLE: The Long Good Friday (1980) - Pre-order available from Arrow UK for Limited Edition 4K UHD (pic 1 below) or a Limited Edition 4K Arrow Store Exclusive (pic 2 below)- £22:00 each

Release date: May 27

"Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins) is a businessman with great ambitions. Spotting the development potential of London's derelict Docklands area years before the Thatcher government, he tries to broker a deal with his American counterpart (Eddie Constantine) that will make them both millions. But who is killing Harold's other associates and blowing up his businesses - and why?

Universally regarded as one of the greatest gangster films ever made, The Long Good Friday rocketed Hoskins to international stardom. He's given sterling support from Helen Mirren (as his upper-crust girlfriend), Paul Freeman (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Derek Thompson (Casualty), and there's even an early appearance from future James Bond Pierce Brosnan."

More trouble at Arrow HQ !

[Justin101]

I saw City of the Living Dead 4k listed on this month's new releases and was confused about why it's not on my pre-orders so looked it up, then I saw the cover art and remembered why I haven't bought it

The normal version should be around in a couple of months so I can pick it up and flip the artwork At least I hope so, the vomit coloured limited edition needs to sell out first

Yeah, I'll put it in the previous Limited Edition from Arrow, that had the original art on the box.

Can't stand the new artwork.

*This is a very nice offer, but at 30 notes it's too expensive for me to justify getting it*

[Justin101]

?6 per movie is a good deal, I had loads of fun with this boxset when it came out last year. Although it's worth noting that this is the cut down 'budget' version of the box set, thin card box and no book.
