Army of Darkness - Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray [4K UHD]

Awesome movie. One thing to note is that the third disc is marked correctly but the movie menu when you pop the disc in says disc 2 for some reason.

ARMY OF DARKNESS finally on blu-ray, and a proper official release to courtesy of Scream factory Universal wouldn't of bothered making any effort to bring this film to blu-ray and 4 Different versions of it aswell which is a surprise to me i knew there was the Theatrical version which i've seen once many years ago and i didn't like it mainly cause it wasn't Sam raimi's vision of the film, Universal had the final say of the Theatrical version lots of scenes were cut out and i knew of the Directors cut by Sam raimi himself which has about 15mins of extra footage inserted back in the extra scenes that Universal edited from the Theatrical version. the new HD transfer for the Directors cut does look excellent very nice sharp & clear picture quality, hardly no grain or Dirt much better quality than the very old Anchor bay version the sound quality has been boosted to 5.1 master audio mix which does sound excellent. there's an International version included in this blu-ray set aswell, which is a surprise to me maybe it's the U.K. version, i don't know. this int' version is 88min long in 1:78:1 ratio NOT RATED apparently the HD transfer for the international cut is 4k scan well i compared this to the Directors cut version and the picture quality looks very similar i can't really tell the Difference the sound quality for the Int' cut is the same 5.1 master mix and 1 more version the TV version which must've been broadcast to U.S. TV sometime in the 90's the TV version which is 90mins is only a Digital remaster transfer in 1:33:1 ratio the picture quality is Good, not excellent but watchable. now to the special features Disc 1 has the Theatrical version in 1:85:1 ratio plus the new 95mins retrospective Documentary MEDIEVAL TIMES incredible Doco aswell, very indepth Detailed account of the making of Army of Darkness interviews with most of the cast & crew from the film with exception of Sam raimi Bruce campbell, Ted raimi, Robert Tapert, Bill Pope, Joseph Loduco, Actors Marcus Gilbert, Richard Grove, Patricia Tallman, Angela featherstone, plus the special effects team Greg nicotero, Howard berger, Robert krautzman and many others plus theres the original ending & Alternate opening, Deleted scenes all have optional commentary by Sam raimi/Bruce campbell plus TV spots and Theatrical trailer Disc 2 has the Directors cut in 1:78:1 ratio AUDIO COMMENTARY BY BRUCE CAMPBELL & SAM RAIMI CREATING THE DEADBITES featurette which was taken from the Screwhead edition dvd BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE FROM KNB EFFECTS, 53mins of footage PROMO MAKING OF FEATURETTE- 4.mins 50sec EXTENDED INTERVIEWS Disc 3 has the International version & TV version STILL GALLERY & RARE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS -28mins MORE RARE PHOTOS OF THE PROPS-4mins THE MEN BEHIND THE ARMY 19mins more footage with the KNB effects team Incredible, the Legacy is complete with this blu-ray set, 3 Discs on Disc trays in clamshell case 5 stars for sure

Great funny movie in perfect quality

Army of Darkness is one of those home video releases there has been lots and i mean lots put out there! Does anyone remember the Limited edition Director's Cut on VHS in the gold clam shell case numbered by Anchorbay??? In the last 16+ years there's been so many re-releases of this film from the countless dvd's alone i can understand if fans/collectors are gun shy double dipping x10 at this point we've all done it But, I'm pretty sure this Collector's Edition is the Ultimate edition when you get down to it You get a lot of bang for your buck If you have Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness Boomstick Edition (2 Disc dvd Set from 2003) you can retire that set and send it out the door Breakdown of the 3-Disc Collectors Edition Set The only negative to this set it's Region Locked (A) so fans in the UK, Eastern Europe, Japan, etc. need a region free player if they want it Disc One Theatrical Version (1.85:1) Rated R Audio track DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Audio track 2.0 *****New Medieval Times: The making of Army of Darness Feature-Lengh Documentary, *** Original Ending,***Original Opening, **Deleted Scenes, ***Theatrical Trailer (U.S.) TV Spots and U.S. Video Promo DISC TWO --Director's Cut (1.78:1) Not Rated extras include ****Audio Commentary w/ Director, Actor Bruce Campbell and co-writer Ivan Raimi (This commentray track is old it's from the anchorbay 2-disc Boomstick Edition dvd) any Commentray with Campbell is great though! ***Creating the Deadites Featurette,**** BTS Footage from KNB Effects, Inc. **** Vintage Making of Featurette ****Extended Interview Clips, DISC THREE ---International Cut (1.78:1) Not Rated New 4k Scan from the Inter-positive **** Television Version (in Standard Definition Fullscreen) 1.33:1 ***Theatrical Trailer (International) ***Still Galleries---with Rare BTS Photos You get 4 different cuts of the film which is very cool getting the tv cut it neat to bad it's in SD but, better then some of the bootlegs floating around I only threw the first disc into player and watched a few scenes The Theatrical version looks and sounds awesome (keep in mind i can only compare it to the old HD-DVD Version) Snatch it up while it's on sale for $18.00 great price break this should be the last time we as fans/collectors will have to buy a proper Collector's Edition of Army of Darkness too bad it took 15 tries gotta love consumerism This is without a doubt one of the strongest releases put out by Shout all year It's a must have even if you over bought this film in the past this Collector's edition is the last stop for a long time Or until Universal tries to put out a bare bones 4K Blu Ray of it 9.4/10

Has every known available version of the movie in beautiful blu ray this is the definitive version of raimi and Campbell's masterpiece

Move is great. We all knew this already. The disc labeling is doing my head in. There are 4 discs and each one is stamped with the info on top of the physical disc. When you put the discs in your player, the info in the menu doesn’t match what the disc says. The 4k disc (disc 1) and disc 2 (blu ray disc) don’t have any info in the menu. Disc 3 shows as disc 2 and disc 4 as disc 3. I thought Scream Factory miss-stamped my discs. As reference, the disc in my photo is the menu of disc 3.

Got the Blu-ray version to replace my original BOOMSTICK DVD edition. Great movie. Sam & Ivan Raimi's great series along with the awesome Bruce Campbell. Except no remakes or thievery substitutions. Disc actually arrived undamaged. I'm still in shock.

Updated: I exchanged my Panasonic DP-UB420P-K and got a Panasonic DP-UB154P-K. That player plays the disc perfectly. The movie looks great in 4K. I'd highly recommend it. The 4K UHD disc looks great on my LG 4K UHD player, but won't work at all on my Panasonic DP-UB420P-K 4K UHD Blu-Ray player. The regular Blu-Ray disc works in the Panasonic, but not the 4K UHD. Other 4K UHD Blu-Rays work in the Panasonic, buit not this one. Would have been 5 stars if I could have gotten it to work on the Panbasonic. I wish LG still made 4K UHD Blu-Ray players. One of my favorite movies of all time, so I'm pretty disappointed it doesn't work in the Panasonic player since that's hooked to my biggest/newest TV. I had heard the Panasonic was one of the best 4K UHD players, so I'm doubly disappointed the disc doesn't work in it.

As usual, the directors cut and all the extra material is on regular 1080p blu-ray. What you are paying extra for is a poorly remastered 4K (wouldnt even say Hdr) version of the theatrical cut. Dont buy this.

Me ha gustado la película, ya que hace tiempo la quería, sobre todo verla en su versión original, pero tienen que mejorar el menú de la misma, por que a veces es complicado cambiar los subtitulos

The relatively recent 4K version by Shout Factory is probably the definitive edition of this movie. You get the theatrical cut in 4K which looks amazing, a great upgrade from the 2013 Evil Dead Trilogy blu-ray by StudioCanal. You also get a 1080p blu-ray sourced from the new 4K scan, with the 2 other discs containing various cuts. I haven't had the chance to check them out yet but there's no doubt that the director's cut surely look better than the standard definition version included on the 2013 trilogy disc, and the international/TV cuts are welcome additions. Unfortunately, like all Shout releases, the blu-rays are locked to Region A, so if you don't have a way around it, then you're stuck with just the theatrical cut on the region free UHD disc. Either way, if you're a fan of AoD or just want to finish your Evil Dead Trilogy 4K set, I highly recommend.

4 cuts of the film on 3 blu-rays with a reversible sleeve of the original theatrical US poster art! The first disc (theatrical cut) looks better than the previously released 'Primitive Screwhead Edition' from Universal as this one doesn't use DNR so you can actually see some film grain! The new documentary about the creation of Army of Darkness is really fun to watch. There is, however, a missing scene in the theatrical cut where Ash jumps over a stone wall when he is trying to get to the windmill which should be corrected with a replacement disc from Shout! soon in November. The second disc (director's cut) looks even better than the theatrical cut although I prefer some lines from the theatrical cut over the director's cut, the director's cut is still the one to watch as it's the longest of the three main cuts although it does have the apocalyptic "downer" ending (not my favourite but it would have been cool to think of what they would have done with an Evil Dead 4 where Ash builds a robot army to fight Deadites!) The third disc (International cut) is actually the best looking cut of the set as it was scanned at 4K, it's just a shame that it's not quite as good as the director's cut but it does keep the S-Mart ending from the theatrical edition. The third disc also contains the TV cut of the film with alternate scenes not seen in any other version but wasn't exactly transferred properly so you'll notice the frame rate speed up and slow down at times which is a bit of a shame but considering how blurry it is, you're probably not going to be able to sit through the whole thing anyway. I imagine watching this cut with Motionflow on would be a nightmare! I'll just stick to watching my old VHS tape from USA Network if I want to see that version anyway. It's at least here for posterity. All in all, an excellent set and a great resource if you have a blu-ray drive on your PC and want to make your own edit of the films! :)

Es curioso, esta es la segunda vez que la compro y no había escrito una reseña, la verdad es que si la volviera a parder la volvería a comprar porque de la trilogía es mi favorita, la mayoria se inclina por la 2 y se respeta, en cambio un servidor forma parte de un pequeño grupo de fans que consideramos a esta la mejor por los efectos, el humor negro, hay mucho mas acción en esta pelicula, si es verdad que hay menos sustos, menos sangre y que aqui Bruce Campbell queda como "payaso" a comparación de las anteriores, que si bien en la segunda, la escena de la locura de Ash en la cabaña es definitivamente inigualable e insuperable, aun asi no cambio a Army Of Darkness por nada y de hecho podriamos decir que la serie de Ash Vs Evil Dead tiene mas que ver con Army Of Darkness que las dos primeras ya es un punto a su favor porque la serie es increible, animense....JOIN US!
