Arrow Video’s May Schedule Brings Classics From Clint Eastwood, Bob Hoskins, And Clive Barker To 4K
by David Lewis
Arrow Video’s May release slate is small but mighty. The month finally brings together all three of Sergio Leone‘s Man With No Name westerns, pairs Bob Hoskins with Michael Caine, and offers a double dose of a Clive Barker cult classic, all on 4K UHD.
First up is Leone’s legendary Dollars Trilogy on limited edition 4K UHD. Clint Eastwood stars as the Man With No Name in the 3-film spaghetti western cycle — A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966) — all restored in 4K. The 8-disc set includes a slipcase with new artwork, three posters, and a bound booklet, plus new and archival bonus materials. Arrow previously released all three films separately last year.
Finally in May, Nightbreed lives again on limited edition 4K UHD. Writer/director Clive Barker (Hellraiser) explores the thin line between reality and madness — with some monsters thrown in — as a mentally ill patient falsely accused of murder finds refuge among a group of societal outcasts who live in a deconsecrated cemetery. Starring Craig Sheffer, Anne Bobby, and David Cronenberg, the 1990 film is presented in two versions: the studio’s theatrical cut and the reconstructed director’s cut. The two-disc set boasts audio commentaries, a brand new feature documentary, deleted scenes, trailers, a reversible sleeve, a collectors’ booklet and a double-sided poster. For Barker fans, Arrow has previously released a 4-disc Hellraiser 4K boxset in the US.
Be sure to check out what Arrow will drop in April, including fan favorites from the likes of Joe Dante, John Woo, and John Schlesinger. Meanwhile, this month’s plans include one more Woo wonder, some Mel Brooks silliness, overlooked Stephen King spookiness, and more.
