Editor's Notes

Note

Shout's Sword and Sorcerer Steelbook was Amazon-exclusive when it shipped in December, and the same disc goes wide retail July 21. The Scream Factory transfer is the one collectors already know, with Albert Pyun's commentary track intact. UK buyers had a separate 101 Films Limited Edition with a different extras package.
