101 Films

[KJones77]

Rollercoaster (1977) will be released on July 23rd.

Title number 003 in our Black Label range. This Limited Edition version is limited to 3000 copies and includes a slipcase and a booklet.

101 Films presents an unforgettable trip filled with sense-shattering twists and hairpin turns in Rollercoaster, starring Timothy Bottoms (The Last Picture Show), George Segal (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Richard Widmark (Kiss of Death) and Henry Fonda (12 Angry Men).

Thrills abound in this high-speed suspense yarn as a determined terrorist (Bottoms) begins to turn America’s amusement parks into battlefields. The tension mounts as affable safety inspector Harry Calder (Segal) attempts to track down the saboteur who has targeted the country’s most popular rollercoaster and its riders for senseless destruction. The edge-ofthe-seat excitement mounts as the battle of wits between Calder and the terrorist builds to an explosive climax.

Includes both the U.S. theatrical cut and the German "uncut" version.

Was a standard edition of eXistenZ ever released? All I see on various sites is the limited edition but I ordered from someone on eBay and what I received didn't include a DVD, booklet, or slipcover (but it came sealed).

[domino harvey]

Sounds like a bootleg, the seal was over the slipcover on the real thing. I can post pix of my set if you want to compare anything

[swo17]

What I got looks exactly like this in shrinkwrap. It might be helpful to compare details on the back, thanks.

[domino harvey]

The booklet comes in the slip next to the case, not in the case

Does your disc have all the extras (three commentaries, and various period featurettes)? That entry lists its only "special features" as 'Interactive Menus', which I haven't seen listed as a special feature in about fifteen years.

[domino harvey]

Worth noting this is still available direct from 101 and they mention no cheaper Blu-Ray only edition that I can see

I would bet money whoever bootlegged this just cloned the entire 101 Blu-Ray, so it prob does

Also, I hate to say this, but you should probably also post about this on the Blu-Ray.com forum, this is what those guys do best

[swo17]

I'll have to check on all of this when I get home tonight, thanks

There is a cheaper Blu-Ray only edition available in supermarkets, which I believe has the same disc and so all the extras

Yes, this. I seem to recall Sainsbury's had this particular one.

[domino harvey]

Special edition of the Cooler coming next month. I think this is the first title in their special edition line that will be a worldwide Blu-ray premiere

[tenia]

It probably will be an older HD master, but I have positive memories about the movie, so will likey give this a try.

It seems there is still no definitive release of eXistenZ, including this one — which leaves off the Peter Suschitzky and Jim Isaacs commentary tracks from the 1998 Canadian Alliance DVD, and is not a new scan. (At least it retains the Cronenberg commentary track. Every single release of this has its pluses and minuses (except for the 2012 Miramax/EchoBridge Blu, which I can finally toss). The 101 Films release may be as good as we ever get for this film. Although not in Cronenberg’s top tier, I still quite enjoy it.
