Great video as always! I also picked this up from Amazon Italy and just like yourself was confused with the “limited” numbers!! Missed out on this (Warner Bros shop uk cancelled it) and Jaws The Vault set in the uk so ordered both from Italy. I’ve been buying internationally a lot more now as you can often find more choice and better prices. You always offer great honest advice and are one of the reasons I look further afield.
That's the one great thing when it comes to Amazon Italy if you can't find it anywhere else chances are you will find it there. It is a bit strange when it comes to the numbers but let's face it in the end all we wanted was the release itself. Just like the deluxe edition that's coming out for the Exorcist this year I guarantee you give it a bit of time it will appear on Amazon Italy
Great review. Scream Factory releasing 4 k The Blob 1988 in October.
That is definitely a Day 1 purchase for me. One of my favorite remakes
Jaws 2 does have one of the best death scenes that was effectively shot. The Eddie & Tina sequence was rather believable. There was a Great White Shark death very similar to this in the early 1980s off the North coast of Australia. Eddie gets launched by the shark with significant thrust and force. The sound effect of hearing him smacking into the side of the boat is pretty nasty. One of the redeeming features for me is John Williams effective second score. Williams vertually re-builds the score from the bottom up, creating new cues and different themes with the familiar. This score was one of the selling points of the film, seeing that John Williams came back after a favour was carried out for the producer of the film. I'm not struck with the steelbook for this release. The original quad artwork has always been the draw for me, plus Universal being crafty gits by using the box set image again from the early 00 DVD release of Jaws 2. Jaws certainly has paid dividends for Universal's [UK] marketing dept. 😀 Cheers....
I actually forgot to mention John Williams score in this movie and as you mentioned it's probably the saving grace of the sequel. It would have been so easy for him to recreate what he done with the Spielberg movie but that's not John Williams and that's the reason why he's The Greatest composer who ever lived. I'm starting to think that maybe this movie got me on the wrong night and I might have to check it out again. You're absolutely correct it would have been nice to get the original artwork on the Steelbook but unfortunately it's so rarely happens today. I wish they at least put it on the outer box and give us the Steelbook that we got which I think is actually beautiful. But that's just my opinion. A huge thanks as always my good friend for stopping by. I really appreciate it
@millerman9991 I'm not a great fan of 1978s Jaws 2. I have the film on standard Blu-Ray. I think the direction is somewhat choppy by Jeannot Szwarc's. It's highly difficult when Spielberg delivers shots in the first film that feel almost like a European director had directed Jaws. I do think Spielberg emulated semi-European style in his early works, Keith. Spielberg was a big admirer of the French director François Truffaut, who starred in Close Encounters. Even when I watch Sugarland Express, Spielberg gives the film a semi- documentary style and uses shots similar to what François Truffaut would do. Obviously, Spielberg has his own signature mixed in. Jaws 2 is a mixed bag film, and it always has been. But there are a few moments that do stand out, but it's still an average movie. Cheers.
Hi Keith, I have the UK edition, I preordered it when it was first announced as I love Jaws 2!! It was the first Jaws film I ever watched when I was young and it was the one I used to watch more than the original. It's only as i got older that I appreciated how much of a great film the original was!!
Also... I picked up Ticks & Madman from Vinegar Syndrome after watching your video and they arrived today, so thank you 👍 I also picked up A Blade in the Dark which has an awesome slipcover!! 😃
Hey Steven. Like I said in the video I was underwhelmed by the sequel but take nothing away from it it is still a fun movie and it's easily the best sequel. Maybe it got me on the wrong night. Great to hear by the way that you picked up ticks and madman and I would love to hear your thoughts on both of them when you get around to watching them. My god I could not believe how beautiful both of them looked on 4k
Awesome pick up, Keith!
Thank you so much Christian for stopping by and checking it out. It's a beautiful release
Waiting for my UK copy now. Can’t wait to get it in. From the get go, I never made the mistake of comparing this one to the absolute masterpiece that the original Jaws is. That was one of those movies where they just “caught lightning in a bottle”. I’m such a huge fan of it that I was just happy to be brought back into the same universe, even if it is a little watered down like u said. Thanks for sharing Keith, it’s been a while since I’ve commented and I hope all is well my friend 👍🏻
I know I said I was underwhelmed by the movie but taking nothing away from it it is still a fun sequel and it's easily my favorite sequel in the jaws franchise. I just remember enjoying it a lot more back in the day. Maybe it got me on the wrong night and I will revisit it again very soon and see how it stacks up on the day. A huge thank you Rob for stopping by. I am doing great and I hope all is well with yourself
Nice video and great item
Thanks for checking it out Danny
Hey Keith, jaws is my absolute favorite movie of all time. my dad actually took me to see that in 1975. I was 9 years old scared the living shit right out of me. We were lucky we had a built-in pool. Been swimming in that since I was five when you’re in the deep end pretty much all you do is tread water just like Christy in the opening scene. I asked my dad some years later why he took me to see that he said I thought you could handle it. Pretty much scarred for life but I guess in a good way.
So, of course when jaws 2 came out me and my friends went and saw it and I thought it was awesome.later on I totally agree with you I thought it was so cheap compared to the original. Watching the 4K now it’s almost unbelievable how bad the shark looks. I mean it should be every bit as good, if not better than the one in the original had the shark looked proper I think the movie would’ve been much much better by far.
I was able to pick up the steel book and I think it looks great. The transfer is good like you said you can’t compare to the original. My fault with it is the opening night scene. Is annoyingly dim but everything else is pretty darn good I’m happy with it. I’m glad I got it and this is by far much better than either of the other sequels. I’ve never actually seen jaws 3 it just looks so bad I couldn’t bring myself to see it but funny enough when the fourth one came out, I thought that they would have to redeem themselves for the third one but alas, that was horrible as well. Anyways, have a great one as always talk to you later.
I Can't Help But relate to this comment because my father showed me this movie when I was younger as well and he said the exact same thing. He thought I could handle it. He was so wrong.
I remember seeing Jaws two back in the day and I remember enjoying it a hell of a lot more than I did when I watched it's a couple of nights ago but taking nothing away from the movie I still find it to be a good sequel and it's easily the best sequel in the franchise. I don't know maybe it got me on the wrong night. I thought the transfer look great and I honestly don't know why people were complaining about it. We are talking about Jaws two after all. The only downside was the audio for me other than that I was very happy with the release and picture quality. A huge thank you John for stopping by and for leaving this incredible comment.
A stellar review as usual Keith
A huge thank you Scott for checking it out. I really appreciate it my friend
Great review Keith,nice set 👍🏻
Thank you as always my friend for stopping by
Thanks for the heads up Keith!!
Was gutted when I missed out on the UK release!
Just ordered from Amazon Italia…..well I think I have! 😁
How long did it take to arrive?
Keep up the great content! 💪🏻
Hey Lee. Great to hear that you were able to get it on Amazon Italy and I think it took around just over a week to get to me. Hopefully it will be with you very soon. A huge thank you for stopping by
nice set, sweet vid Keith ... Jaws 2 is a solid sequel, always liked it. But it's no masterpiece.
Hey Mark. I know I said I was underwhelmed by it but it's still a decent little sequel and I was so happy to see it get this kind of treatment. Thank you so much for checking it out
I got the ordainary bluray from eBay for £7 last week and watched it last night, I didn't see anything wrong with the picture or sound , I enjoyed it I haven't seen it in ages .I saw a couple of reviews on RUclips that said the ordainary bluray said it wasn't a great picture or sound, but I'm more than happy with it.
To be honest Laura I had no issues with the Blu-ray myself. The 4K transfer does look so much better but take nothing away from the Blu-ray. I think sometimes people can go a little bit overboard especially when you do get a great looking 4K transfer like this one. The first Response always seems to be to s*** all over the Blu-ray release. If you're happy with it that's the most important thing
Hey Keith I think that steelbook alone would have been worth the asking price, its definitely the star of the show. I felt bad you didn't get a better lenticular, it could have been great. I also never like to hear poor sound transfers, I'll have to see how it sounds on my system after sound mapping.
The lenticular cover is a minor nitpick to what is a very nice release. As you said Steve the Steelbook is the star of The Show and the movie itself looks fantastic. It's such a shame about the audio. Thanks for checking it out
I'll probably buy the standard release of this at some point, Speaking of worldwide limited editions the Exorcist sold out before I saw it.
Loads of people trying to sell a preorder for £200 on ebay 😂
No surprise to hear people trying to sell it on eBay for ridiculous prices. It's always the fans that lose out. Thankfully I was able to get one before they sold out.
Great movie nice 1 Keith
Thank you as always Ryan for stopping by
I got the big lebowski 4k special edition steelbook limited to 1200 copy's
Exorcist 4k trailer online picture looks amazing 😊
Fantastic release, Its a disgrace when they advertise a release as limited but you can still get the same one in another Country. Sure you have done other video's were you have picked up other steelbooks like that. I will be picking this 4K up but as i wasn't expecting it to be as good as the first, i was waiting for a price drop, might change my mind on that. Great review as always Mate.
It's not the first time it's happened. As a matter of fact it's happened numerous times and I'm sort of used to it by now. The most important thing is to get the release itself and thankfully the 4K picture does look quite amazing. The movie is nothing near as good as the original but it was never going to be and I definitely recommend checking it out for yourself and see what you think. A huge thanks as always my friend for stopping by
Awesome release but not so limited after all :). Wonder if same thing happens with The Exorcist limited edition also..
I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see it appear on Amazon Italy. It always seems to happen.
Great set Keith.... Thanks for sharing 👍
A huge thanks as always Roy for stopping by
Ordered it the day after this vid was posted, and it arrived today. I missed the UK release. Pre-ordered in the US really early, but Amazon US apparently filled domestic orders first. So now I got it for less than half of the US price. Thanks !!!
That is fantastic to hear Chris and I'm always saying it in my videos but Amazon Italy are amazing when it comes to releases like this and selling them at very reasonable prices. If you look at your release it is absolutely identical to the UK and US edition. I was so happy that I was able to play my part in helping you get this fantastic release. A huge thanks for stopping by and letting me know
🦈 Got this one last week, too Keith. Great edition, but why the hell did Universal nothing about the mono audio? I mean the original JAWS was restored with Dolby Atmos! 😮
Yeah I was very disappointed with the audio particularly when you consider how well the movie looks on 4k. It's the one downside to a fantastic release
Great review, Keith liked your overall polished criticism/praise of this disc/ collector's Ed....l ain't purchased much 4k discs of late,but with The Exorcist 4k coming out soon I am hoping l can grab myself a collector's Edition been searching on Amazon US for and it's seemingly being released in the US this Friday but can't find a Anniversary Edition????
Hey James. The Exorcist is a huge release for myself and thankfully I was able to pre-order the deluxe edition before it sold out. I have been told by so many people they're going on eBay for over 200 euro. It absolutely sickens me and I hope they don't get what they're asking for. It's always the fans that lose out
Thank you Keith.
My pleasure my good friend
I cannot remember this movie, that says it all 😂
Still better than the other 2 pish sequels that came after it
@@markpugh6808 I didnot watch them lol
That definitely says a lot Colum. I actually do not remember the sequels after that one.
@@millerman9991 awful trash both of them 3 was a crappy 3D gimmick and is just really bad and Jaws The Revenge is awful
Hi, Keith. I agree with everything you said about this film. I was lucky to preorder the UK version before it sold out, but can't compare it to the original Jaws yet (I have pre-ordered the 4k film vault version & can't wait to see the quality). I have fond memories of my Parents taking my brother and myself to see this at the cinema as a kid as it was one of the first films I saw at the cinema after Star Wars. Now looking forward to Hell raiser Quartet of Torment boxset in 4k when that arrives soon. Can't wait to see what the transfer is like on the original.
Take care, look forward to your next review.
I think you are going to be absolutely blown away when you see Jaws on 4k. It's definitely up there as one of the best 4K transfers you can see for a movie of this age. I have also pre-ordered the hellraiser collection myself and even though I'm very excited to see what they looked like on 4k I didn't think the set looked near as good as the Scarlet box set they brought out all those years ago.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get the Scarlet box, that's why I jumped on it like a fly to poo as soon as it was announced.
I wouldn't blame you because the Scarlet edition sold out so quickly
Another good honest review Keith 👍
As always thank you so much John for stopping by. I really appreciate it
Cheers Keith ! Cracking sequel to a great movie ! 🙏
Thank you as always Conor for stopping by. Look after yourself my friend
Great video- Elijah thinks it would be really cool if you had a channel about video games too called ‘Euphoria Games’. 🙂
That actually has a very nice ring to it. Maybe someday if I ever do find the time. Thank you for stopping by Cara. Tell Elijah thank you for the great idea
Hi Keith I really liked jaws but the others are just a run of the mill
To be honest Mike I do not remember any of the sequels past the second one and there's probably a reason to why I don't. Thank you so much for stopping by
Just had enter the dragon 4k 😊
Unfortunately the deluxe release doesn't come out until September
@@millerman9991 yes mate also pre order that 👍
I agree with you on this release, it looks really great. I always liked this sequel in the Jaws franchise. Yes, the sound was a little disappointing for this release. Great review!
Yeah I have to admit even though the audio was slightly disappointing absolutely no complaints on my end when it comes to picture or the release itself. Great to hear you picked it up yourself Dax. Thanks for stopping by
Also got it from Italy too. Ii like it that they don't translated the booklet. And that they put the little white translated Italian mini booklet in it. Great way to keep the extras original. Did you get that one also?
Have the same feeling about the movie. Especially the kids were quite annoying. And about the shark.. Absolutely true... It felt like they were attacked by a rubber monster with the quick edits.
Hey Robert. I have to give Amazon Italy credit because they do that quite a bit with their releases. I remember buying a collection of movies from a company called midnight classics who were an Italian company and inside each release was a media book and half the book would be in English and the other half in Italian. I think it's great that they go through all that effort.
Nice looking steelbook. Im not big fan of Jaws 2, but cool to see it getting a good release. Is this the film where it eats a helicopter?
I was very underwhelmed by the movie but it's still a fun sequel and it was nice to see it get this kind of treatment. Thanks for checking it out Paul
Is Keith Gordon not well liked? I thought he was superb in Christine. Thanks for the review. I think I'll treat myself to this with my birthday coming up soon.
Yeah a lot of my friends and family don't like him and I will never understand why. Amazon Italy still has this release if you are interested. A Happy Birthday by the way
@millerman9991 Thanks a lot pal. I kind of like Jaws 2. It doesn't compare to the original of course but it's so much better than the other two awful sequels.
Just pre the pianist and u571 4k 😊😊
Yeah I will pick up the Steelbook of u571. Great movie as well
Great vid Keith. I may pick up this one down the line as its a good sequel. But the original casts a long shadow over it.
On a side note, do you have a particularly strategy on how to choose a movie to watch or do you just randomly pick one? Thanks
Hey David. Whenever myself and my partner come into this room to watch a couple of movies I always have to have it planned out on what I want to watch. There's nothing worse than getting through one movie and then trying to find another right after it. It takes far to Long especially in a room like this
Not picked up jaws 2 yet 4k , how dare you put out your video up with my first unboxing video just gone up 😂😂😂 💿📼🎬🎥
Hey Stuart. I just checked out your unboxing this morning and you picked up some fantastic releases. Keep the videos coming
@@millerman9991 cheers Keith 👍
Sorry not a fan of the steelbook artwork, I got the US 4K to get the slipcover, as we sold short here in the UK
Fair enough it's not for everybody. I quite like it it's by no means the best Steelbook I've ever seen but I'm very happy with it
Great video once again, but looks like im way too late to buy this, i cant find it on Amazon Italy anymore 😢
I just went on to Amazon Italy myself to have a look and I find it strange that there is no evidence of it being there. Normally you would see it and it would be down as sold out but I can't seem to find it at all. Keep an eye out because it might appear back on
This came out the same day as Grease? must have been the Barbenheimer of it's day, Graws? or Jawrease?
I was thinking the exact same thing myself when I read that up.
Halloween H20 is getting a new 4K Steelbook release
I have seen the pictures and it looks quite nice. I might look into it
@@millerman9991 it's because Paramount have got the rights back to Curse Of Michael Myers H20 and Resurrection so are gunna release their own 4K versions guess this means the Scream Factory boxset of those films will go oop soon
I would say the first 3 films were good..as for the last one...awful!...I remember seeing this at the cinema back in the day!..if you want a good laugh keith watch cruel jaws which they tried to pass off as jaws 5
Hey Steven. I honestly do not remember any of the sequels past the first two probably just aswell. I heard about Cruel Jaws and I think ill give that a pass.
@@millerman9991you are right to Cruel Jaws is awful
It's a shame you felt under whelmed by this movie Keith, I absolutely love this sequel, I think I told you I watched this the other week. I do agree with you, it did miss Richard Dreyfuss but he didn't want to do it. For me it's one of the better sequels. Keith Gordon was good in this, he reminded me of Elvis Presley for some reason. "Now I know what a shark looks like because I've seen one up close so you'd better do something about this one because I don't intend to go through that hell again," Great scene in the movie. I like this set Keith, I think it will sit very nice in your collection.
I know I said I was underwhelmed by the movie Gary but taking nothing away from it it's still a fun sequel and it's easily my favorite sequel in the jaws franchise. Maybe it got me on the wrong night I don't know what happened. But I will revisit it again hopefully very soon and see how it goes. Thanks as always for stopping by
@@millerman9991 I watched Starman last night, that one could do with a proper sequel not the 1986 series they made. Great film.
As much as I love that movie I'm almost frightened to watch it. It's amazing that a movie can have that kind of power over you
@@millerman9991 It's sad at the end he had to leave her and she couldn't go with him. And that score just takes it to another level.
@singin8324 it's the music that gets me everytime and when the movie is over I can never get it out of my head
I agree, don’t like the teenagers at all. Let the shark EAT.
Unfortunately he didn't get near as much as I would like 😅 😂
Some films shouldn't have a sequel...
JAWS, you know someone is likely going to be eaten, great actors, it's bloody big, and you're on the edge of your seat in the hunt!
JAWS 2, shark, people, food, hunt shark, and yawn...
There was no following up Jaws. Probably one of the greatest movies in the world and the sequel was always going to be somewhat of a disappointment even though it's definitely one of the better sequels I've seen out there.
Personally like Jaws 3 over 2 and thats not saying much. Jaws 4 might be one of the worst films ever made, though. lol
To be honest Chris I can't remember parts three and four and there's probably a reason to why I don't. I also heared there was an unofficial Jaws 5 called cruel Jaws. I think I will stay away from that one. Thank you so much for stopping by my friend
@@millerman9991 3 wasnt that bad- not great mind you. It was in super 3D and starred Dennis Quaid. A little biased cause I saw it in the theatre. 4 is atrocious from story to effects culminating in impaling the shark with a broken ship mast as it jumped out of the water. lol. Micheal Caine who starred commented, "I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific."
Keith check the link out
Which Link ?
@@millerman9991 to the walking dead review
@@millerman9991 ruclips.net/video/5O0zJAGuwek/видео.html
Just bought the walking dead series on Blu-ray the legacy collection I mean yes it came with a lovely book 124 pages and the book does have its own slipcover on the outside, but the only thing I was disappointed about Keith the discs were all stacked together I’m not sure about you, but I don’t like that not a fan at all, but unfortunately my friend is the only way of getting the whole series 1 to 11 of the walking dead on Blu-ray, Keith
Nice art work on it tho
To be honest Ryan it's a small compromise particularly when it's the only way to get it. I really need to look into that edition I don't know what it looks like.
@@millerman9991 it’s on on Amazon 1 left I think it’s selling quick as the standard edition comes out Monday Keith
HMV fucked me over re this as Id pre ordered had to settle for the normal 4k version
I'm sorry to hear that happen to you. I'm not sure if you're still interested but Amazon Italy are still selling it
