Thanks for the updates

Quote from wtrayah

I don't have any intention of switching over either! Unless someday i have to! I am glad i swithed from VHS to DVD, Quality is much better and they take less room! I am curious though, Is there a easy way to see what is available on JW on blue ray? and what is coming out in the future? I'd be curious to see how long it will take to convert his movies to blue ray. Some will never make it i'm sure!

Bill, I have moved your post here,
the thread dedicated to JW releases on Blu Ray

Why was my new thread added to the end of this post, 16 pages deep? Seems like a great way to make sure I get no response at all

Chris,
Sometime ago we had several threads covering DVD releases,
Duke and non Duke.
To avoid any more fragmentation, it was decided
to merge all threads appertaining to the same subject.
I notice your post has had a response,
and I feel sure members interested,
have or will take a look here

We had three threads all relating to new Blu-Ray releases,
for ease, I have now edited them into two threads,
this one and:-
General- Blu-Ray Releases (Non Duke)

Quote from dukefan1

Here's a short interview with Ethan Wayne about his Dad and Blue Ray versions of Duke's films, among other things.

Thanks for this Mark,
I have also copied it over to
Sons Of The Saddle- Ethan Wayne

Quote from RoughRider

And here is a link to the Girls Demand Excitement clips, which were edited together and a small bit of narration deleted. It's only 19 seconds.

I would love to see the entire film, missing reel or not.

Thanks for your post RR,
I have also copied it to the deicated thread
GIRLS DEMAND EXCITEMENT

Quote from RoughRider

Worthy of note for The Comancheros Blu-ray is the documentary The Duke at Fox, which confirms that he played a police officer in Four Sons (1928). I have a clip of that scene in my filmography, and some time ago it was debated whether this was indeed John Wayne. Someone here posted the clip on YouTube, too. Anyway, it's Wayne!

Here is the thread
FOUR SONS
including the video clip

RR thanks for the info and also thanks all for keeping us updated

Quote from Lt. Brannigan

Nothing of great importance, but this release has me at least curious.

As far as I can tell it contains this documentary

Looks like it includes the two VHS documentaries, (I have them)
Bigger Than Life, and The American West of John Ford, (see below)

So it looks, as in other DVD releases, it has extras!
Thanks Jim, I have also copied your post to the documentary thread

Bigger Than Life

Quote from ethanedwards

This documentary pays homage, to Duke
throughout is life, showing rare footage
and clips, a worthy tribute to a classic legend.

Personally, I thought it was just about OK!!!

The American West of John Ford

Quote from ethanedwards

Hosted and Narrated by John Wayne,
Henry Fonda, and James Stewart,
this documentary pays homage to
'The guy who made westerns'
Duke joins John Ford in Monument Valley,
which also features, Andy Devine.
Includes many clips from the films,
made there with Ford.

A worthwhile documentary, and a must have.

Quote from firstrebel

Great news, but I think the cover could have been a bit more attractive.

Bob

I agree, great features,
but the cover is awful!!

Lt. Brannigan;88116]I had hoped I found something of exciting dramatic and profound value and something rare that no one had knew about but upon searching the forums I discover it is indeed known. Anyway way here is a new John Wayne release on DVD

Jim,
It will be interesting to know, what this is,
new or a retitled and re-issue, which so often happens!!

Quote from Lt. Brannigan

I feel like such an idiot.... I checked the posts for each of the movies respective threads and saw nothing. then I checked the General threads and found nothing. But I failed to check the movie reviews board.
Thanks for moving it.

It's no problem.
A few months ago, Chester and I,
scoured all the threads, and found endless
ones, relating to new releases.
We set about merging them all into one 'super-thread'
and of course the best place to place it, was in the Movies
Forum.

Thanks for you post and your support.

I have merged Todd's thread here,
as to avoid fragmentation.
Not long ago Chester and myself merged all threads
relating to new Duke releases.

Thanks for the update Todd

Hi Popul,

Thanks for the link and your post

I also found another, later thread,
'New DVD Releases'
which was in The Movies Reviews,
and I have also merged that into this one

Hi Rough Rider,

Yes, all but Rainbow Valley were released, initially as VHS,
the re-released as 'three-somes'
then the same on DVD.

Rainbow, was released here on VHS
by Reel Movies International.

Hi Arthur,

I've now put a dedicated topic to the JWFS
in the Movie Forum,
so all our members can now acess the details

Hi Rough Rider,

They Lone Star Movies,
Were released as Fox/Lorber,
and I guess, were distributed here by
Second Sight.

[ATTACH]1030]

In the case of Rainbow Valley,
that was always the odd one out,
and that was the only one, not Fox,
and or distributed by Second Sight.

I have a feeling the rights to that one,
were owned by someone totally different.

Rainbow Valley, also contains
more of the original, orchestrated soundtrack,
and not the sync, stuff that was dubbed on the others!

Hi Arthur, Todd, Rough Rider,

Arthur you took me back a few years, as I remember,
the Lone Star Westerns being screened on C4
about 8 years ago.
I will always remember like you, the VHS was ready and poised to record,
when we noticed the dog, was outside and had gone A.W.O.L.
I was so annoyed I missed setting the VHS. to record
Riders of Destiny

They of course, were the Second Sight series.

Arthur,

In answer to your question,
I am in constant touch with
David and Patrick at
The John Wayne Film Society,
and do indeed, have some of their
'Special' releases.

Generally they're pretty good, seem to be copies
of prints, obviously without,
digital re-mastering.

Shootout at Rio Lobo
I thought was very good, very entertaining,
and very amusing.
Quality fair, and acceptable

Life of Jimmy Dolan
Wyoming Outlaw
Salute
Glen Campbell Special
Salute
Arizona


Don't have these yet, but the quality
from experience, is similar to that an old cine film!
I have ordered, all but the
Glen Campbell one.

Maker of Men
I have the NTSC version,
which I purchased through the JWFS

Rookie of the Year
Fashing Spikes

I have both these from the JWFS.
They're fun, and interesting.
Quality wise,
as if they had been recorded off the TV.!!
but well worth having.
