I will never forget the sign at the video store I went to that they hung by all the new copies of Congo when it came out in the nineties that simply read “Wrongo” 😂
Vinegar Syndrome does the best transfers, period. It's like owning a pristine 35mm print. I wish the major studios would put as much effort into their releases.
I was so close to getting this, changed my mind last second. I remembered I haven't wanted to rewatch it in years finding the Blu-ray thrifting will be just fine I think.I do love the VSU sets though.
I'll be honest, I only grabbed this one to keep my VSU collection complete. It'll be a fun re-watch for the first time since childhood but I am not expecting to view it too many times.
Their website is down for the whole month. After big sale like Black Friday, they shut down the “vinegar syndrome” part of their site & only sell partner label movies so they can focus on shipping, it’s stupid lol
I already got it. I'm just waiting on it to come in. I pre-ordered since your first congo video in November ish....long time. Longer than any of the other boutiques or sellers I've gotten it from. Also ordered sidekicks!
I like the 4k. The colors do pop but also look natural at the same time. Blu ray isnt really a faithful representation of the original source. They were always pushing colors and sharpening the image in the old blu's.
I cannot see a difference in most of the shots between the 4k and blu ray (except where there is a lot of red then it looks bad on 4k and awful on Blu) and when I look at the dvd I wonder why I buy blu rays and not dvd as I do not see anything that would make me enjoy the movie more on blu ray than dvd. I know some dvds are awful, they have really soft focus and look terrible on modern tvs but ones like this are fine. The blu ray and 4k also do something that bothers me a little, a lot of the shots have a blue tint to them and I am not sure about you but in my reality everything doesn't have a blue tint to them. Starting to question my blu ray purchases, I have the Blu Ray of this but I only watched it once when it was released and cannot remember how well it looked.
@@damondelgado4603 My blu ray does not list any special features on it. It's a UK release. I don't know if I still have the dvd as I used to give away my dvds when replaced. Only recently started keeping them
@@damondelgado4603 Sorry thought |I had replied to this. Checked my Blu and there were no special features on it. Also had a look for my old dvd to see what was on that but I must have gave it away when I upgraded
The eye, lol. That's the money shot
💦🫣😂
That I do love is vinegar scream and kino give u 4k and bluray I love that

Between your coverage and chase from avapopculture lists we will all run out of money. 😂 Glad you didn't lose the video

@@80sMadeConsumer I love the new tranfer, the art though, waste
The DVD quality looks really good honestly. I'm hoping I can find this when thrifting at some point
There’s also a cheaper standard edition coming soon

Hope you enjoy the rewatch
I got Congo, haven't watched it yet. In middle of a move. Looking forward to it.
I’m about to be in the same spot man haha it’s a great transfer!
Awesome video, Brian. I grabbed this 4k as well. I love the VSUs from VS.
Thanks! It’s a great transfer! I think my 2nd VSU. I got showgirls & roadhouse but just standards sadly
I can’t find that vinegar syndrome website ? I was going to order it

Thank you
Did your package from VS come that quickly? Still waiting on mine. Did you preorder Congo before the Black Friday sale?
Yea I preordered Congo at the beginning of the month when they 1st announced it. The Keep on black Friday & they shipped them both together.
I already got it. I'm just waiting on it to come in. I pre-ordered since your first congo video in November ish....long time. Longer than any of the other boutiques or sellers I've gotten it from. Also ordered sidekicks!
I like Congo but I don’t love it enough to upgrade.
@@OhItsRoodie fair
Your color temp is just more on the cool side vs the vinegar syndrome warm trailer.
Which is crazy cause I have my calibration set warmer 😂
Love Congo , I haven’t upgraded from Blu Ray yet
Do you have the original studio Blu-ray? How does it compare in colors to the new transfer?
@@thelastmoviestandingyour side by side are awesome, getting Congo
I love it when these terrible movies get released in elaborate packaging. And people go apeshit over them.
I will definitely pick this up but will wait for the Memorial Day sale and at the same time I will keep an eye on the stock just in case.
Yea I wonder how many they have left once their site goes back up
What happened to the initial upload?
There was an error with some clips missing I didn’t catch in the export. I posted a photo on the community tab so you can see what I mean.

I always forget Tim Curry is in this haha.
lol he’s a weasel in this movie 😂
I picked it up but has not shipped yet. I got one of those movies no one wants, Hundreds of Beavers, so probably delaying my order being shipped.
Yea I ordered mine in Oct or Nov...still waiting
Hundreds of Beavers I heard sold out FAST! 😂 I feel the more people got the more they are waiting. I just got Congo & Keep
@@danielmarks13 just shipped today! Maybe they were watching the chats lol
Can’t unsee the outer box art, terrible design
Your tv picture looks better
I thought so too hahaha

Does the blu-ray version have more special features than the dvd? They usually do.

Doesn't matter how it looks.You can't Polish a turd This movie sucked when it came out and it still sucks that fancy box does nothing for it
I HIGHLY disagree. This is a fun film with ideas ahead of its time.
