About this deal

Finally, in 'Rocky IV' (1985) Rocky heads to the Soviet Union following the death of his friend and former adversary Apollo Creed at the hands of Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). I also didn’t notice any of the slight smoothing I spotted for the first film so it looks more naturally uniform. Meanwhile, Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (2022) is now set for Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release from Paramount on 3/21/23.

This set offers up three BD-66 discs, one for Rocky, Rocky II, and Rocky III with a BD-100 disc dedicated to Rocky IV and Rocky vs Drago: The Ultimate Director’s Cut on the same disc. suffers from a few QC issues including several botched audio tracks, mislabeled extras, and even residue inside the keepcase. track is on by default and has been heard before; it is pretty good, managing to hold good separation, with dialogue being prioritised. Rocky avenges the death of his friend by taking on the biggest fighter the Russians could throw at us - Ivan Drago (the actually crazy brilliant chemist and martial artist Dolph Lundgren). When convinced to take the fight, his first thought is to say hello to Adrian on TV: he is still not thinking of himself.The fights are re-edited for maximum impact while a lot of the goofy humor and Paulie’s robot are excised entirely. As Archer tries to use his disguise to elicit information about a bomb from Troy’s brother, Troy awakes from a coma and forces the doctor who performed the surgery to give him Archer’s face. Depth is impressive especially for when the action moves to “Siberia” for Rocky’s training sequence to Hearts on Fire. Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) holds the world heavyweight boxing championship but faces a new challenger: Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a 6'4", 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. Reds, yellows, and Blues once again pop beautifully without looking oversaturated and skin tones are nice and healthy without looking to peached or oranged-up.

Determined to reclaim his reputation, Rocky unexpectedly turns to his old adversary Apollo Creed for help. Tim has taken a look at Peter Medak’s The Changeling (1980) on 4K Ultra HD from the good people of Severin Films. As WB seems to be well aware of the issue thanks to the rush of criticism online, this is another high-profile flub for a studio that can sometimes set the standard for home video releases. Sylvester Stallone stars in the greatest boxing saga of all time and triumphs as one of the most inspirational characters in cinematic history. Heck I might even double-dip on Creed I and II if they do a franchise collection of all nine films as an option.It is the very definition of a crowd pleaser; these characters seem real: it could happen to anyone given the right circumstance and the Academy Awards rightly gave it Best Picture. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. While lighter on the human relatable dramatics, this is Stallone in peak physical form taking on the fast-talking power-puncher Clubber Lang (Mr. In other release news, Universal will release Maria Schrader’s She Said on Blu-ray and DVD on 1/10, with the Digital release expected on 1/6. Complete with the Oscar-nominated tune “ Eye of the Tiger” this is a redemption story with Rocky proving to himself he’s still the champion with help from his former nemesis Apollo Creed.

Considering hanging up his gloves, Rocky receives encouragement from an unlikely ally: his old nemesis, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Facial features, Thunder Lips’ mustache, Clubber’s mohawk, Rocky’s high hair pseudo mullet, the whole show offers up strong striking details with a healthy naturally cinematic grain structure.The film is produced by Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff and stars Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Tony Burton, Burgess Meredith, and Mr. The incredibly fancy (and, truth be told, a little more expensive) Steelbook format is the only choice for those needing a physical media release that doubles as a table tennis bat in a pinch. Will wait on news of the final 2 too, or a discount too good to pass on, just in case they decide to release 5 and 6 only as part of some boxset. Now then, it seems to be a rather slow day in terms of title announcements and new disc release news, but we do have one interesting item for you.
