Author Topic: Die Hard on Blu Ray (Also Die Hard 4.0): WTF HAPPENED?! (Read 2743 times)

So I went to Yamada Denki today and found that I had missed the release of Die Hard 4.0 on Blu-Ray. Then I remembered reading that the DVD release had more shit and was uncensored. I don't know if Japan is the same, but I saw something about two versions on the DVD box and nothing on the Blu-Ray, so I picked up the DVD. Has this been confirmed? I see that this movie isn't out in the States yet.

Also the first three Die Hards were also released. I bought the original, eager to watch it, and am quite disappointed. The BD transfer is FUCKING AWFUL. The picture ghosts a bit on my TV, and the quality is like an average DVD. They didn't even bother throwing in a chapter menu. What the fuck?

I too was hoping for better transfers than the Die Hard:Ultimate Collection boxset. Hopefully, Fox'll fix things after getting many complaints like in the case of The Fifth Element.

Update: Unless I've missed something, there is no uncensored version, at least for Japan. He still doesn't say "Yipee Kai Yay Mother Fucker" on the DVD. The DVD version does have an extra disc with extra content though.

FOX sucks in HD.
they have a bad history in HD transfers.

Unrated Die Hard is DVD only. There is a lot more swearing than you'd expect added. Over 40 fucks added I believe.

Not a single one in the Japanese version, it seems. :'(

This sounds like a massive epic failure. Seriously.

Shitty transfers, AND no Unrated on Blu-Ray. What the fuck, Fox?

I've read similar complaints about the set elsewhere. I wish I hadn't pre-ordered this.

I have to. I traded DVDs at Moviestop towards it, and I don't think they'll let you switch to something else.

I think I'm gonna sell off the blu ray, keep the DVD of 4.0 for now (it does have the extra bonus features, at least), and then get Die Hard 1-3 on DVD. They're all the same price as one Blu-Ray.

Are you coming back to the states any time soon? I could trade my DVDs w/ you. If possible, I always upgrade to HD. 1080P is to movies as AAA is to games.

Die Hard Ultimate Collection FTW

No, and plus the Blu-Ray I have is Japanese. It will run on your player, but the text options are all in Japanese.

I like Blu-Ray and all, but this transfer is just kinda shitty and completely bare bones.

I know you're probably right, but I still have to see it. I'll check the unrated one instead of the TC. It HAS to be better than Die Harder

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2007, 08:27:01 PM »

Nah, it doesn't.

It's a shitty movie with nice special effects, I don't see how them adding 40 "fucks" to the dialogue is gonna make it any better. Bad is bad.
