Movie is a lot of fun, I would consider it more of an adventure/comedy rather than a horror film myself. Fun fact: In Duke Nukem 3D Almost all of Duke's One liners come from Army of Darkness and They Live.
The steelbook for Army of Darkness has different artwork on the disks than the slip cover version. The disk artwork on the steelbook look awesome. Richard Diaz has a nice video showing the differences.
@@bry6080I got the slipcover for Army of Darkness and I don’t mind the slipcover at all lol 😂 but that’s just me though and since the first 2 didn’t get a steelbook I’m glad that I got them all with the slipcover so it will all match all together lol 😆 bro 😎
@@DevilFan669 That was a year ago. I've since bought the AOD steelbook to go with my ED Groovy Collection box set. Then I have ED 2013 & ED Rise on 4K with slips. 🤷🏼 I still haven't watched Ash vs ED. I didn't make it through AOD. I'll have to try again some day. It lacked the humor & plot of ED 2 & the gruesomeness of ED 2013, so I wasn't really into it. 😎
Dream sequence isn't the new ending. It's the original ending. I was lucky enough as a teenager to get to see a free screening of Army of Darkness in Burbank, CA. We saw it with the overslept ending.
I've been wondering why I even buy 4K movies when all I have is a Hisense 4K Roku TV & a Roku streambar. I'm fine with the video quality, but I have yet to experience anything close to good quality audio at home.
You have convinced me to finally watch this movie. I just always skipped it before. Enjoy that OLED and soundbar. It is definitely a worthy purchase and adds a new dimension to your movie watching experience. Nothing like your first time as well 🤣. Thanks for the review Ken.
About that nic on your 4K disc case - no need to return anything. Just grab one of your empty 4K cases, or if you have none, grab your least fave 4K (Terminator 2?) and switch it out. Problem solved. Glad to hear about this beautiful release tailored for your beautiful new TV!
My favorite in the franchise! Hopefully it gave your new TV a chance to flex its muscles! Just got it the other day and haven’t gotten a chance to sit down and watch it
I was finally able to open the the big set from Scream. The posters were a tad bent. Scream needs to pad their posters or something. The pins are great quality. The steelbook looks amazing too. I didn't realize that you get two full copies of everything. That makes the price point make a little more sense. It was still overpriced, but oh well.
Great video, cant wait to get tye 4k version! Welcome to the LG 4k Oled TV family bro! What size C2 did you get? You should do a review/tour of your new setup.
Another great review buddy and your first with the new tv (excellent). Back in tie 80s when I worked in a video store lol, Evil Dead 2 was one of our best rentals. Some friends and I actually caught Army of Darkness in the theater in 92 and always enjoyed it even though it was more slapstick.
As nice as it would have been to get ALL cuts on the same great 4K quality, in this particular case it is probably understandable that all the available SOURCES of each cut might not be in as good of shape or quality as the source for the theatrical cut. Also, it would probably cost a LOT more money to fully remaster EACH cut on 4K, and a smaller boutique company like Shout/Scream Factory might not have the resources to do that. Whereas something like Apocalypse Now (where we DID get EACH cut on 4K), that was a big-budget movie by a big-name director, and Lionsgate has much more money/resources at their disposal to put into the release (being a big studio)
I've only seen Evil Dead & the remake. I've yet to see ED 2, Army of Darkness & Ash VS Evil Dead. For some reason I'm obsessed with getting the Evil Dead Groovy Collection & the Army Of Darkness Steelbook. Then I'll have everything. 😎 Ahh, childhood, when I had the attention span to sit through 3 movies at a time. 😂 Now I can barely get through a 2 hour movie at home without being on my phone. 😳
Thank you for the videos and actually looking around for media or things related to it you don't give us a video of you eating a cheeseburger or collecting pins like some people that are supposedly media channels
I got this movie on 4k too this past Tuesday and I still haven’t seen it yet since I haven’t seen the 2nd movie and I did see the first movie I have that one on blu ray steelbook too and I’m gonna wait for the individual on 4k on 11/1 to watch them since they come in a double feature so might as wait to watch them all on that day too bro and can’t wait to watch them all on 4k for the first time too and can’t wait for Evil Dead Rise too coming out next year on April 21, 2023 3 days after my birthday too bro that will be my good month too for my birthday bro
I hear you on the audio. Well, actually I don't. Lol What all exactly do you have for your audio set-up? I was told, (rudely, I might add) that I need a minimum of a soundbar, subwoofer, & 2 speakers for 5.1 audio. A couple people told me I actually need a receiver. I'm still confused. I mean Dolby Atmos, 5.1, 7.1 etc. I don't know what I actually need to enjoy any of that. Google (and several UA-camrs) do not agree on the subject. 😒
Never seen the international cut, that I know of. Hate the director's cut, other than that alternate ending. pretty sure I heard Raimi himself say in a commentary somewhere that he wasn't sure what the hell they thought they were doing with some changes made for that cut.
In Australia we grew up with the international cut…I’m glad it at least got a 4k scan on a standard blu ray, but was really bummed it’s not in native 4k 😢
This one is by far my favorite evil dead and it's not even close. The movie where Bruce shines and that's reason alone. Then the spectacle, effects, deadites and humor just adds to the reason.
If you don't mind scratches, white specks and dirt then it's decent but the first two films look immaculate compared to this. Wasn't impressed with this release. 😒 They didn't even clean it up.
@@midlevelmedia I'll add I was watching the 4K on an 85" but of all the 4K transfers I've seen this was the most noticeable with scratches and dirt. It's still the best it's looked but it should have been handled so much better than this. Some scenes where the scratches are obvious are the crowd reactions to the fight in the pit against the blue sky and after he shoots the witch. Check the top right corner. There's even a splotch at the beginning on the right side I never noticed before. I can post the time code but yeah they missed a bunch of stuff that should have been cleaned up. If they were opticals like effects shots I could ignore them but they're not.

Haha! Yes they do!
@@midlevelmediahell yes 🙌 I bet too
I like the part where the princess asks him "What about all that you said last night?" Ash says "Oh come on baby that was just pillow talk."
Haha! That's a great one too!
I grabbed the Steelbook. The artwork was too good to pass up
The steelbook for Army of Darkness has different artwork on the disks than the slip cover version. The disk artwork on the steelbook look awesome. Richard Diaz has a nice video showing the differences.
I watched an unboxing of both & I thought the exact same thing. The steelbook looks awesome & the discs are way cooler looking. 😎

Congrats again on te new gear. It is truly amazing how much audio impacts one's enjoyment of a movie. So often overlooked by viewers.
Yeah, I didn't know what I was missing.
I've been wondering why I even buy 4K movies when all I have is a Hisense 4K Roku TV & a Roku streambar. I'm fine with the video quality, but I have yet to experience anything close to good quality audio at home.
I have this one on HD DVD. Might have to upgrade
I HONESTLY LOVED this and EVIL DEAD II but 2 is SLIGHTLY BETTER!!!

Definitely check it out and grab this 4K!
Dude Scott stop skipping at this movie is badass it's one of the movies that the movie actually delivers the goods on the poster.
Army of Darkness is my favorite of the trilogy lol!
Hey Ken I got mine on Tuesday the last disc came loose from the case I put back it's a pain , I think the case is to heavy for 4 disc

I love this movie, but I love Evil Dead 2 more. I like how the 2015 Blu Ray looks, so I'll just stick with that one unless I find a really good deal
If you love this flick, you might like ash vs evil dead tv show.
The show rules!
My favorite in the franchise! Hopefully it gave your new TV a chance to flex its muscles! Just got it the other day and haven’t gotten a chance to sit down and watch it
Is my favorite evil dead film.

The ending where Ash sleeps too long is the original ending - just like Sam Raimi intended it to be. Theatrical cut is result of CEO butchering
As nice as it would have been to get ALL cuts on the same great 4K quality, in this particular case it is probably understandable that all the available SOURCES of each cut might not be in as good of shape or quality as the source for the theatrical cut.

Very true. I didn't have a problem with it. I mean 3 out of the 4 did have 4K scans.
Once u have a surround sound with satalite speakers you will never go back

Got the steelbook it looks cool and price and features the same. Why you not get that version only 3 at my Best Buy and I was third in line
I’ve been waiting Ken for you to do a review with your new TV I hope you really enjoyed the difference from your old one.
Ohhh yeah! Looked incredible!
i got the Sony Led Bravia 43 inch tv Kenny bro and i can't tell if the OLED is better since i never own a OLED tv before
Thank you for the videos and actually looking around for media or things related to it you don't give us a video of you eating a cheeseburger or collecting pins like some people that are supposedly media channels
If it’s anything like Ash vs evil dead,i think I’ll like it.👍
I gotta pick this one up!

A receiver,hdmi 2 cable,5 and one subw.
All others are simulations
Have u ever watched the Ash vs Evil Dead series Ken?
I have not seen that Jake.
Awesome review of army of Darkness Ken I'd like to get the 4k sometime 👍🆒😎
Happy to hear you're enjoying your new setup.
Grain is not a bad thing.....
What a triple feature!!! 😂

It's really growing on me. Loved this experience with it!
The artwork on the steelbook is phenomenal. ua-cam.com/video/n8f23_hzmXM/v-deo.html The disc artwork is also completely different.
Steelbook FTW
I just watched this movie 2 months ago. Not very good.

Are you high?
@@MoviesWithBrandon Are you? 😒 They're there clear as day throughout the whole film. A major release isn't supposed to look like this. 😏
The Director's Cut bluray looked like that for sure, but my 4K Theatrical looked pristine.
