Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut looks stunning now in 4K for the 30th Anniversary Edition! The overall package, design and discs are all nicely done. Picture quality and sound are fabulous and it makes you think you are right there with the guys in the military boat making its way through the river. All special features have been brought over from other releases, and you get the HEART OF DARKNESS feature as well.
This is a war movie and not for the younger viewers. HIghly recommended for all those that love Robert Duvall. His portrayal of a Colonel in this movie is spectacular. Martin Sheen also does a great job as the Captain put in charge of the boat to destroy a lunatic colonel out in the jungle.

~ SPEED 4K Steelbook is nothing short of Superb! ~

Wow, what can I say about this 1994 movie that was a smash hit for not only Keanu Reeves, but Sandra Bullock as well. I believe it was her first major starring role. She did THE NET after this one and the rest is history for her. Keanu was already and up and coming star in his own right. He's one of my current favorite male actors and has two hit franchises to his name, THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK.
This newest release is just stunning now in 4K. It has never looked as good, in my opinion and I already owned the previous Blu-ray put out by FOX.
Special Features are really good and looks like most of them were brought over from the 2 Disc DVD set that was released years ago. The discs themselves even have artwork on them as they should be for a nicely done release as this. Kudos all around!
This is a good one to get folks! Highly recommended!

PAC-MAN finally gets a deluxe version 12 - 1 unit.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, we have a Pac-Man unit that has 12 games in it and makes it one of the best cabinets for sale for the price point of about $400.00 retail. I have to say, get this unit if you are a fan of the Pac-Man games themselves. The only one that is missing from this is Jr. Pac-Man, the one with the scrolling maze that goes horizontally. This is my 4th Arcade 1Up cabinet, and it looks outstanding. The game play is outstanding as well.
Once you are on the game select screen showing the 12 icons, be sure to go to the "Settings" screen for each one. Instructions on how to do that are visible and press the appropriate button. You can make adjustments to each game, starting lives, level of difficulty, etc. You could not do this on previous cabinets. I own the Ms. Pac-Man 4 in 1 and there is no such settings menu.
The games will SAVE your high scores as long as you do not unplug it from the wall. The joystick is a bit clicky sounding when maneuvering as opposed to the original arcade unit where it was fairly silent.
The coin op black box on the front of the unit is painted on, it is not a sticker. The custom riser is fantastic and really adds to the overall look. I am over 6 foot, so it is definately a plus.
Now on to the assembly. The owners manual and assembly manual are both outstanding in detail.
Whatever you do, when you are ready to put the screen into the unit, take OFF the plastic on it first. The screws on the screen have plastic underneath it as well, so, LOOSEN those a bit so that when you take off the plastic, it will come right off no problem. Then, you can retighten the black screws back to position. This will save you a big headache of having plastic around each of the screws.
Now, the metal screws on the game board where the buttons and joystick are located, you can take a black permanent marker or black model paint and cover the surface heads. This way, it will be black and won't stand out so much on the black surface. Looks great.
The tiny screws that go into the plastic cornered parts are a bit of a pain to get in, so take some time on those. I built the custom riser first, and then started the unit. Give yourself about 3 - 4 hours for all of it. If you are a first time owner of one of these, you may break the assembly time up into sessions. It gets tedious if you are doing it yourself.
Make sure the final side panel fits secure into all the wooden pegs, etc, before tightening the screws.
All in all, a great cabinet to own for years to come if you take care of it. The custom riser and light up marquee look great and the overall look is outstanding.
Delivery was outstanding as well and nothing was missing from the box itself or damaged. Highly recommended!

Beautiful steelbook for the movie version of the ghostly cartoon. Great artwork throughout the steelbook. I would have liked this release to get the 4K treatment, however. I think a black 4K disc and the Blu-ray with some Casper artwork on the actual disc would have been superb. Still, a fun movie to sit and watch with the kiddos at Halloween or anytime they feel spooky enough to see the friendly ghost.
The sole surviving miner of a Valentine's Day disaster comes back to the aptly named town of Valentine Bluffs 20 years later to prey on the local teens, who have ignored warnings and decided to hold the once-cancelled holiday dance on February 14th inside the gloomy coal mine.

What a great steelbook for a 1980s slasher! This one is perhaps the best horror flick for Valentine's Day. This is the original 1981, not the remake.
This is a 2 disc set, much like that of the Scream Factory release with the slipcover. I am a collector of the steelbook format, so if it's good enough in overall artwork, I will buy it.
Special features are all brought over from the previous 2 disc version, but I have to say, the artwork on the actual Blu-rays are different than that of the slipcover release. Disc 1 is the Theatrical release. Disc 2 is the Uncut release with more intense kill scenes that were cut out of the original due to the movie ratings at the time in 1981. The 4K scan looks really good on the 4K TV and player.

So, the 40th Anniversary Edition of Friday the 13th is probably as good as it is going to get. It's a killer package and even includes the digital copy. Artwork is fantastic on front and back. Inside has artwork as well, not just a plain steel look as some of the early steelbooks of films or ones that don't go the extra effort to make it spectacular.
This Blu-ray is the UNCUT version and has the same features as previously released on the Blu-ray format. The only minor gripe I have with this set is the blue color Paramount decided to use on the actual disc.
They could have used the poster front artwork as seen on the cover of the steelbook. There is one like that, but it is part of the fairly new released Scream Factory box set of all the F13th movies together in one massive set.
All of those have the individual artwork on the discs. I am a steelbook collector and am looking forward to the PART II being released next month.
Highly recommended if you don't have the Steelbook of this one. I don't know if we will ever see a 4K disc version of this one, but if we do, I am in line for it.
This release features all three feature-length adventures in The Hobbit franchise, based on the novel of the same name by J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbit Bilbo Baggins and a crew of thirteen dwarves embarks on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. Included here are The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014).

Amazing and beautiful set in steelbook form for all 3 Hobbit movies! This set is strictly the 4K UHD set. There are no blu-rays in these since they were already released prior in extended versions and theatrical. I have to note that anyone who buys these 4K sets will have to know there are NO Appendices in them. Those special features discs were previously offered in the Extended Blu-ray sets. So, don't expect them in these 2 new sets offered. I think they did only the 4K to keep the costs down overall on the package. It's quite expensive, regardless but beautifully done! My new set and The Lord of the Rings arrived UNDENTED. I am grateful! Highly recommended! Picture Quality and Sound in 7.1 Dolby Atmos are incredible.

Wow, just beautiful! Any RITA HAYWORTH fan will love this Blu-ray HD set, 12 movies in all on 6 HD blu-ray discs.
Movies are: MUSIC IN MY HEART YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH...(The Twilight Time Blu-ray has Trailer) TONIGHT AND EVERY NIGHT DOWN TO EARTH THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI THE LOVES OF CARMEN AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD SALOME MISS SADIE THOMPSON FIRE DOWN BELOW PAL JOEY THEY CAME TO CORDURA (Rita's last movie)
The set comes with a beautiful slipcover and then the Blu-ray insert has nicely done artwork as well, so it's not the same. Each Blu-ray has 2 movies and distinctive artwork with pinkish color to match the package slipcover. I have been a Rita Hayworth fan for several years and many of these on here have never been released on Blu-ray before.
The only special feature is Subtitles On or Off. Mill Creek distribution has never been big on offering such items as Special Features. It's basically the movie and perhaps some type of audio alternative. Menus are easy selections with the 2 movie titles given for each disc that is played. Highly recommended if you are a Rita Hayworth Fan! GET THIS BLU-RAY version!
This release brings together every entry into Peter Jackson's critically-acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbit Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship embark on a dangerous quest to destroy the One Ring, and with it, its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron, in order to save Middle Earth forever. Included here are The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

This is a beautiful set and I am very thankful I did not receive a damaged set, like some did. Yes, this is a metal case and can be damaged in shipment. Fortunately, my set was protected. There is no dents or scratches on it and the steelbooks themselves are in outstanding condition. Each one is protected in a velvet like sleeve. The picture and sound quality are outstanding and the Dolby Atmos is superb. There are NO Blu-rays in these sets. These are the 4K sets only and there is a Digital code for each movie on 1 piece of paper located in the first movie case. I am very happy with my set here, still awaiting for THE HOBBIT Trilogy to arrive.

Great movie with Matt Damon reprising his role as Jason Bourne! Steelbook looks good, we get the 4K/Blu-ray/Digital copy in this one. For the 5th movie in this franchise, I think it is one of the best. Find a good deal on this one.

BEWARNED!!! NO regular Blu-ray Disc included!!!
ByHomeTheaterElite
Great movie! But Bewarned that this edition ONLY includes the 4K UHD Disc and a Digital Copy. For $30 this should have included a regular Blu-ray disc. I have only one 4K UHD disc player in my home theater and the 4K disc is useless in the rest of my players. Disappointed in this purchase!
You have the 4K/Digital copy only version. The Steel book version has the regular Blu-ray in it as well for about 5 bucks more. Your link in your review shows the picture stating there is NO Blu-ray in the package.
This has been showing as coming soon for a few months. Initial pre-orders were super under supplied and it never restocked. Stores show zero stock for release day. And yet people on ebay are selling 10+ copies.
You should have put in for a pre-order as soon as you saw this steelbook on the website. I did just that and got 1 copy, which is all I wanted. Don't even wait until the month it is supposed to be released. Your chances then will be slim to none.
Three-disc set includes Scream (1996)Director Wes Craven's slyly self-referential shocker follows a group of high school horror film fans in a small California town who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious masked slasher. Newscaster Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) thinks this killer also did in teenager Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) mother the year before, even though the supposed murderer is behind bars. Skeet Ulrich, David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Drew Barrymore co-star. 111 min. C/Rtg R Scream 2 (1997)The ghost-faced killer from the first film is gone, and the survivors are trying to get on with their lives. But when the debut of a horror movie based on the murders called InchStabInch is marred by copycat killings, it becomes clear to everyone that a new round of terror is about to begin. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jada Pinkett star in this spooky, witty sequel. 120 min. C/Rtg R Scream 3 (2000)The third time is a bloody charm in Wes Craven's cut-and-cut-up series. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now a recluse working for a women's crisis hot-line, travels to Hollywood, where cast members of film-within-a film InchStab 3Inch are being slaughtered and pictures of Sidney's mother are being left at the crime scene. Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Patrick Dempsey, and Parker Posey co-star, with several surprising cameos. 117 min. C/Rtg R

~ SCREAM 3 movie set includes 2 more Blu-rays ~
By93Vet
Fantastic 5 Blu-ray set that includes the first 3 SCREAM movies, and 2 documentary style features on separate Blu-rays.
Digital codes are provided as well for the movies. The picture and sound are good and still hold up well in the 4K system TV and player.
Menus are great with easy selections. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the movie series.
Find a good deal on this set, This one is a keeper in the horror collection!
Love the steel books. The only negative about this is the cardboard box they came in. It's thick enough but should have been put in a steel shell like The Lord of the Rings Other than that, it's a great series in awesome steel book cases.
If it was metal, it would have cost more to make and sell. Any shipment would most likely be dented up as well considering the shipping boxes and packing.

Mindless Fun in 4K!
ByRoflfeathers
John Carpenter’s follow up to the classic Escape from New York is a bit of a hit and miss. There are some likable characters this go round and Snake has the one-liners completely covered. A rehashed story similar to the structure from the original movie, albeit in a new locale, weakens it overall. A short runtime makes it worthwhile for a popcorn action flick, so sit back and watch the explosions! Note: The 4K presentation is amazing, color grading and grain structure are all in respectable standards for this release. I had to return this product before opening because of an audio issue with the surround sound track. This is documented online and Paramount is aware and offering a disc replacement program to fix this. If you have a white UPC code on the back, you’ll need a replacement, but if there is a yellow UPC code, you’re in the clear.
After realizing that this was only just the three movies released during the years of 1995 and 2002, this is not the full complete collection, and completely not worth the price.
Shout Factory already released the first 5 in the lineup, nice packaging, separately some time ago. This set completes the movies, but it was under Miramax, and they had to get licensing for another release on 4K. It's all in one package with a nice box.
Zack Snyder's feature directorial debut, this remake of the George Romero zombie classic finds a diverse group of people holed up in a Wisconsin shopping mall, besieged by an army of undead attackers. Their only hope is a daring exodus to a remote island they believe to be safe from the flesh-eating fiends. Ving Rhames, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Ty Burrell star. Director's cut; 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

Dawn of the Dead......4K Blu-ray

Had to grab this 4k Bluray version of Dawn of the Dead one of my favorite zombie horde movies. You get a 4k unrated version, plus a bluray unrated, and also the theatrical version on a Bluray (3 Disc) and they're loaded with special features, would recommend.

F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook!
ByTommyC1
Awesome F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook! No new special features unfortunately but F13 TFC remains a classic and the best of the series!
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?
Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone. It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.
Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply.

It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later. You may have to go to ebay for one.
