@@Krshna28 Funko Pop boxes have far more detail than a blank box with a logo like this and they don’t cost 40 quid. Thanks for watching though, I really appreciate it 👍
@ I don’t blame you, I encourage people to buy the standard over this, only because I don’t feel this edition is worth it and I actually think that this classic film deserves better!
I'll still get this because I don't have the older 4K release, but I agree, this could've been done a little better. Arrow would've done a much better job with this IMO, that's why I feel major studios should just license out and let the boutiques handle this kind of stuff because the studios just don't know how to do it anymore or want to put any effort into it like they used to.
Unless it has a 30+ page little book with nice pics and essays, notes etc. And/or a poster I'm not paying for something like this that costs them maybe a few bucks worth of cardboard. This is lazy cash in from them.
You specifically mentioned that the Audio Track is in "Dolby Atmos"...when I read the specs on the back of the box (at 3:16) it says DTS - HD Master Audio 5.1 which is not the same as ATMOS. Just wanted to mention that as I had hoped the 30th Anniversary edition to have been remastered for optimal sound and was disappointed to find, as you suggested, that it is literally the same disc set as the previously released 4k UHD Disc sets (both the Steel Book version and the standard one).
@@chrisghosh my apologies, I didn’t mean to say Atmos. That is an error on my part (I am so used to saying Atmos lol). Thank you for checking out the video I really appreciate it
@@careymulligan1403 I would still pick up the standard over this. It doesn’t warrant the price for what you get and this film deserves better for it’s 30th Anniversary
I understand where you’re coming from and it’s not one I’d buy, but for those who like decent a display piece, compared to some of Shout’s 60-100 dollar limited editions, $40 is ok. Plus, since I used to buy lots from Vinegar Syndrome, I have a different perspective on those higher prices.
@ this is £40 not dollars. In dollars it would be around $50 with conversion. When you compare this to something like the Arrow collectors editions that are around £30/$40, where you also get more and better quality for your money, then it just makes this look worse imo
Yeah, I noticed it’s available on Diabolik for $52 and I completely understand where you’re coming from, but I just mean that the mindset I had a few years ago may have already bought it and eventually regretted it, cause why? I mean, I own every variation of The Neon Demon from around the world, unopened, so I’m probably an unusual collector.
Do what I did and put the steelbook in the pop up slipcover and sell or trade in the standard edition. It really is an underwhelming effort. This film deserves so much more. Great video though 👍🏻
@@shaunalan4968 thank you and thank you for watching I really appreciate it. However I did consider putting the steelbook in there but that makes it even worse when I think that I paid £40 for a box for the steelbook 😂
@@FlicksAndPixels😂 God yeah never thought of it like that. I mean I got 20% off with HMV for the set and sold the standard case for £12 so works out I paid £20 for the box and bits. Still rubbish when you say it out loud 😂😂
@ oh absolutely mate, I can relate to that and collectors editions appeal to some and not to others. Regarding having more space, I think most collectors including myself can relate to that haha
Hello Dave, new to the channel and enjoying your content very much. I'm guessing from the accent that you are local-ish to me. I'm a Geordie currently living in Bromsgrove and me and my other half are big collectors of physical media, Funkos, NECA figures etc. Not a games fan, don't know my Playboxes from my X-Stations 😂😂and at nearly 65 I'm not going to change now. Got to agree with you that this edition of Pulp Fiction is a massive disappointment and I'll not be picking this one up. I'm still awaiting a definitive release of both Kill Bill films but not holding my breath. Keep up the good work and drop by my channel if you have some spare time. Cheers.
@@ianjames9166 Hi Ian, thank you so much for your kind words it really means a lot. It’s good to see some locals finding the channel!! I’ve dropped a subscription to your channel too, I’m a little younger than you at 44 but age is just a number my friend 🙂 thank you again for checking out the channel I really appreciate it
You actually got a better product than we did in the States. Your case is sturdier, the pictures are bigger, and the popup portion has the velcro buttons to hold it down. And it was cheaper than ours.
@@michaelsmith1262 it’s still very overpriced for what it is in my opinion though, especially when you consider Arrow collectors editions are £30 and are done better. Thank you for checking out the video I really appreciate it
Thank you! I’ve been waiting to see someone else mention this. I decided to return mine before I opened it because I saw the box was so cheap. I just wanted the original art on the slip all along but couldn’t justify it at all when I saw that the box itself was so cheap.
Yeah, this looks underwhelming, to say the least. I don't do 4k, but made and showed a custom sleeve and slipcover too that in my opinion are better than this, and not boring.
Do you have the steelbook release as well? If so I’m very curious as to whether that slip cover will fit over it? I know they usually don’t but that blu ray case seems thicker than the one on the US release.
@@dajmasta94 it is a very very tight fit. An uncomfortable fit to be honest, you could end up wrecking your steelbook. But do you really want to risk it and spend £40 on a box for the steelbook?
@@FlicksAndPixels If it’s that tight then probably not, it’s just that I have every other 4K from Tarantino that’s available in a steelbook with a box like this or something bigger so I’ve been hoping to keep that aesthetic going. It’s strange to me that all the others have received much better treatment than this one, I feel like it’s usually cited as the favorite by most folks. Thanks for getting back to me though!
@@dajmasta94 no problem, thank you for checking out the channel! And yes it’s definitely one of my favourite films, the soundtrack is amazing too which is why I feel so strong about this film deserving a better anniversary release than this one.
Bad releases (like this one) release the same old crap with a mountain of useless swag to cover up the flaws. For the 30th anniversary, I would've expected a truly special release with lots of new content worth watching, but nah. Tarantino doesn't care.
@@SpaceCattttt it’s the studio that have done it. Tarantino hasn’t had any say in this release. I think if he was able to this edition would have been considerably better.
It looks nicer than funko pop boxes.

@@davidmckee2898 no I think a lot of them are very well done. Boutique labels do the best job but the studio editions can be very hit and miss.

I had similar thoughts. It’s my all time favourite though so had to have it!
@@ryantalksphysicalmedia one of mine too, which is why I am so disappointed. This film deserves much better.
Using the same discs is unfortunate, but certainly not a bad pickup for those who don’t own a previous 4K release.

@ this iconic film deserves a better edition than this
I have the previous 4k steelbook but I like this edition. Is this different from the US? I thought they both are the same. Kindly let me know.
@ the only things that are different is the uk version has a rigid hard case and the velcro seals for the pop up sleeve I think.
OG artwork should of been on the rigid case in matte, and a steelbook or digipak instead of the crap amaray case covered in bbfc certs.😠
