Why would Universal licence them just to be shown up?

They already have been shown-up...and seem to be just fine with it.  Look at Shout's "Halloween II" versus the original Universal Blu-ray.  It might come from the same initial master, but Shout's is a cleaner presentation.  Plus, Uni allowed Shout to include the TV Cut, which they themselves had no intention of releasing.

Shout's upcoming "Darkman" will doubtless exceed Uni's existing BD as well.  And, I'd say Universal would not be licensing to Criterion if they did not expect their own editions (like that of "Brazil") to be totally surpassed.

If Universal was concerned with being "shown-up", they'd limit Shout to movie-only releases, such as Disney pulled with Anchor Bay.  Remember that "Watcher in the Woods" debacle (which was spawned by "The Happiest Millionaire" DVD)?  Or, they'd keep everything in-house.

I meant with PQ not extras, Halloween is debateable and only a few have new masters (The Game etc) as for Darkman, the BD already beat the HD-DVD (rare) but the most we can hope for is the HDTV version that resolves grain better.

I would love to be wrong but I doubt it

Darkman on Blu-ray has better grain retainment compared to the HD DVD? I'm missing something. I'd like to see screencaptures of the HDTV version in 1080i without filters applied.

The MGM DVD release is damn nice for Army of Darkness since it's been sourced from film instead of video.

The Anchor Bay black cover, green titles for EVIL DEAD has both open matte and matted for widescreen presentations. I love it for the nice grain retainment. I don't have the Limited Edition Blu since I have the other EVIL DEAD DVD releases, including the 3-DVD Ultimate Edition.

The 25th Anniversary USA/Canada Blu for EVIL DEAD II: Dead by Dawn from Liongate/Alliance is the best release compared to the overly filtered original from Anchor Bay. At least for the USA and Canada.

Again for EVIL DEAD II. The Kinowelt release isn't something to be recommended to buy when compared to the 25th Anniversary Liongate/Alliance Blu.

Will there still be plans to release the Evil Dead Treasures on multiple BD25s? Would only need to restructure for Blu-ray but everything kept the same. Menus for the Blu and the menus removed from the DVDs. I wouldn't mind using a multi-disc Viva Elite Blu-ray case with matching cover.

EDIT: EVIL DEAD 2: Dead by Dawn. Link comparisons for bitrate, lossless and uncompressed audio including disc size for the Anchor Bay and Lionsgate/Alliance 25th Anniversary releases. Obviously the 25th Anniversary is the release to buy on Blu-ray for the motherlode of special features.

Got another one for the "I have no willpower when it comes to Evil Dead" set 

I NEED that extended EDII disc tho 

Were the Army of Darkness TV commercials released anywhere other than the French blu-ray?

Anyone seen that Evil Dead II extended Blu-Ray? I'm curious to see if it's at all worthwhile. EDII always felt edited to me, especially in the scene where Ash chops up Evil Ed off-screen.

Link? never heard of an extended cut blu-ray, hell or DVD for that matter.

On this page, my huh post a few from the top

umm ok, never friggin heard of an extended cut, must be BS.

Nope it exists, its more unrated than extended I have seen the chopping scene and with the millions of copies I have I must own it also 

It's a German semi-boot, I believe; I've got the DVD equivalent for #1, and was wondering if this was worthwhile at all.

That full chopping scene would be nice to see.

The only deleted scenes that exist in full (as in not BTS footage) are the ones from the TV cut: including Ash eating cereal, a corny flashback sequence, and some other extensions. They may have been shot later on though. The only thing is that we only have them in Spanish.

By the way, color timing discussion going on in the other thread.

I used to have the Japanese program booklet for Evil Dead II and it had stills from a scene where the possessed Ed had half his head cut off and you could see that the skull was mostly empty with a tiny shriveled brain in it.  It was more comical that scary, though.  It looked like something from some unused footage and not a behind the scenes shot so maybe it was something that was removed because that part of the prop head wasn't really supposed to be seen.

That's because they're edited-together clips from Greg Nicotero's camcorder footage crudely inserted into the film.  This is in absolutely no way a proper extended version - save your money, don't buy it.

Source  on the camcorder Stuff? Looks like an ld to me

And I buy everything evil dead 

Well I'll be damned lol, there really is a Evil Dead II Extended blu-ray, I just got this and cannot wait to watch it!

Tell us how well integrated the footage is, please, d_j!

Is it the entire movie? The version discussed in your link is missing 10 minutes of footage in the middle, and only YouTube-level quality. If a better version has surfaced I’d be ecstatic.
