Who cares? Let them worry about that...If they're just playing the film with whatever the default track is, then they obviously don't care too much about the audio experience...You watch the movie how you want, and let those who don't know how to scroll through the audio options on the menu (whether it be a pop-up or main menu) watch it how they want...Seriously, most people who've bought into HD, have done so for a reason, and I doubt there's many who don't know how to access the audio options in order to get the most out of their listening experience...

Finally found this at Best Buy. It was sold out the previous three times I checked, but glad I was able to pick this up for $4.99!

So glad I picked this up last week during the Best Buy trade and save. I have not seen this movie in about 10 years. Picture quality was real good considering what they started with.
Just finished it and really enjoyed it overall. It still holds up as a solid movie after all these years. The one sad part is remembering how great Patrick Swayze was as an actor. It is so sad that he died so young. He was in so many of my personal favorites.
Red Dawn, Point Break, Road House, Next of Kin, are always a fun watch.

For me as well. He's always been (and always will be) one of my favorite actors.

Picking this bad boy up next week along with the remake. I loved them both.

For anyone interested: here's a nice comparison from caps-a-holic...granted, it's comparing the Blu to the older Region-B DVD release, but still, just to show how nice the film really does look in HD :

UPS delivered my copy I just got off Amazon today.

The side of the case was crushed and I could hear all the discs bits inside when I shook it.

You will never find a better deal than that.

Let me guess, bubble wrap package? I miss the days when Amazon only used sturdy cardboard boxes.

One of my favorite movies ('84 version).

I recently bought the Blu-ray version and when I put it in my Panasonic DMP-BD65 player it went right to the movie and started playing itself? When the movie was over it started itself again?

After a half hour of trying to figure out where the extras went I found them by pressing the "Pop Up Menu" button. They all worked fine once I figured out how to get to them, but I almost quit at one point thinking I would have to send the disc back. I checked my player firmware updates and it is current.

I have never had to do this before.

Anyone else have this problem?

Great film, PQ has some grain but still good looking. Pure classic film.

As it absolutely should. That's the one thing I give thanks to MGM for. They rarely dab into digital manipulation.
