I'm sure it'll be $9.99 in no time. Now if we can just get Demolition Man, that's what I want!!

Yeah, I think so too, which is why I held off on pre-ordering. I'd definitely be down for Demolition Man as well!

WTF??? With so many great films yet to be blu-ified, why would any company put out this piece of crap that maybe 6 dudes living in basements would want?

bigrob · 03-09-2011, 12:29 PM

i wonder if this is the international or(superior) Japanese cut of the film?

This 'basement living dude' forked out ages ago to buy this from Japan. Great wee film! To each his own :-)

I was wondering the same thing.Granted I'm probably 1 of a few to actually by the japanese release.

DNinja · 03-09-2011, 01:37 PM

Awesome! I never thought this would get released here. I thought about ordering it from Japan, but $50+ is too much for this.

Ite · 03-09-2011, 06:43 PM

Only good thing about this movie was Dolph Lundgren.

Wow, it's amusing how many times this exact sentence is uttered when a movie is released that they have no interest in & feel the company should be releasing a different title that they want. I hope people who say this understand that it isn't the same company releasing every title!

There are thousands of movies I'd rather see before this, HOWEVER I understand that the company releasing this IS NOT the same company that would be releasing, for example Jaws or Jurassic Park!

PS: I think more than 6 dudes are going to be interested in this film

drtre81 · 03-10-2011, 03:43 PM

lol. This movie actually made me not go see The Matrix at the theater.

Cevolution · 03-10-2011, 03:50 PM

I haven't seen Johnny Mnemonic in almost 15 years, not long after it come out, I remember not liking it, but I was only 14 or 15 years old then, and my tastes since have obviously changed, so I certainly would be willing to give it another go that's for sure.

HotRats · 03-10-2011, 04:30 PM

In case anyone's wondering about the Japanese cut of the film details are here http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1523 I'd be interested in seeing that on Blu.

Shawn Watson · 03-10-2011, 04:36 PM

It will be region-locked, and NEVER released in the UK.

RipleyLV426 · 03-10-2011, 05:35 PM

I am not a fan of the film, and it will only show its "dated-ness" in the blu ray. But does anyone else think that cover art is HORRIBLE!!! I mean he's like lashing out at us and running from an overhead view of a TRON-like cyber board. It seems so desparate and third rate B-movie. But I guess fanboys and some others like that kinda stuff...grabs attention?

Something more low key, like what Timecop

[Show spoiler]

did for artwork would be "classier" for lack of a better word...but then again, this is Johnny Mnemonic we're talkin about, so "classy" isn't really a factor.

I don't know, that has been the cover I've always known... that was the cover for the VHS copy I used to own back in 1995. The only thing I see different now is the font for the title; I guess I'm used to it after 16 years. I like it.

What do this movie have to do with The Matrix anyway?

This one is inspired on a William Gibson story, The Matrix is a film written by the Wachowski Brothers. I don't get it.
