It adds to the weirdness of "I can afford a 5.1 system, but not Both Side Play". Especially when the CLD-D504 was only $125 more than the CLD-S304 Anyway spyrogyro, that is a nice haul. I'm quite fond of demo discs.

OMG I can't wait to sit and watch the entire film, scanned it and noticed some scenes that just look crazy. Will try to do a review in the next few weeks, still working on painting

Though HKR are doing a Blu Ray which, if their version of Hard Boiled is anything to go by, is going to finally surpass this LD. And yes, the shipping from the USA was heartbreaking. do you have any other Criterion Laserdiscs in your collection? I hope to watch my copies (hard boiled and the killer) later this year if I can ever get them out of storage. Am thinking of upgraded to the Criterion DVDs though I think its pretty much the same but not sure.

I think we talked about this years ago on the forum but I'm sure its lost in another topic. The LD is the best so far, and if they are releasing a bluray then it won't matter to me as I won't collect another format. That LD was amazing, my father and I saw it on cable when it was first broadcast around 1990ish and a few months later we heard that Criterion was releasing it, loved the movie so much we wanted to see it again widescreen etc. So bought it when it first came out, enjoyed so many times, may need to watch that later today rather than stupid protests.

The subtitles seem different too? Maybe that is just me?
This will definitely tide me over until the HKR blu! I'm guessing you never saw the Techmoan video about laserdisc? I think he specifically used The Killer as an example of the CAV feature, and he pointed out that the Criterion LD is the only way to see the movie with "correct" subtitles - using that same Tartan VHS as a comparison.

Hi odotb3, hope you enjoyed the LD & it perhaps brought back some memories. This title does not have a front or rear cover picture, can you update that if you can? Every cover counts & it would be appreciated. Cheers .

I dont have many laserdiscs in the collection that havent had the pictures updated but the ones that I do I've slowly got around to adding. I added front and back covers for Twin Dragons the other day.
