TRUE LIES General Comments

[lucasatakros]

Post your favorite comments on the film here! I found a Jamie Lee Curtis 28th Anniversary comment on the film release and wanted to share it.

July 15, 2022 Jamie Lee Curtis Facebook Post:

"Since I will never write a book and today is the 28th anniversary of TRUE LIES being released I thought I would share this picture. This was three days before my 35th birthday. We were doing the sequence where Helen is in the runaway limousine and Harry is flying above her in the helicopter. Obviously I did a bunch of it on the road but so did my stunt double, Donna Keegan. The stunt itself of course was one of the most spectacular ever done and Donna deserves all of that credit but we did need a shot of me post being pulled out of the limousine over the burning wreckage. In order to get the shot we had to wire me to the helicopter at base camp and then fly for 20 minutes over the water to get to the 7 mile bridge where the wreckage took place. In the photograph is Joel Kramer who doubled Arnold on the skid and that's James Cameron hanging out of the passenger seat with the camera. Chuck Tamburo was the pilot and the only requirement I had for the sequence was that somebody have wire cutters in the helicopter in case they had to ditch over water so that I could be separated from it. I saw manatees and it was late afternoon and it was a glorious ride on a wire all thanks to James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger." @jamescameronofficial @schwarzenegger

Just imagine if Jamie Lee Curtis would write a book! Thank you Jamie for this insightful and memorable 28th Anniversary story!

Wouldn't it be good if this film came out on Blu-ray and UHD?

Interesting point. I don’t think anyone has brought that idea up, like ever!

[stvn1974]

Does Cameron have any kids? Maybe James Cameron The Sixteenth will finally release True Lies and The Abyss.

Here's another idea.

How about The Abyss comes out on Blu-ray and UHD?

I think it could work.

Man you crazy with these wild ideas!

LOL, I believe James Cameron might be waiting for 8K to become the new standard..... but he'll re-release Titanic and Avatar 1, 2 and 3 in 8K first before TRUE LIES and THE ABYSS.

Now, to get back on topic...... some good TRUE LIES trivia can be found at:

I probably saw True Lies at least eight times in the theater the month it came out. I also got the VHS from Columbia House back in the old days and wore that sucker out. I haven't seen it in decades though.

[Verisimilitude1984]

I think we might get True Lies in 3D!

Day one purchase. Ditto The Abyss.

I didn't think of a 3D conversion! What a great idea.... no wonder it's taking so long to be released on blu-ray!

I wonder if it will be a Random Space Media limited release?

It's already available on Blu-ray. Amazon's currently got it on sale/in stock.

It’s a Spanish bootleg.

[Jay H.]

Yeah. A bootleg. Who wants those?

Nope. Actually this website has it listed. I bought it from an Ebay seller (valhallagroup) and the picture and sound is top notch. BTW, they are also listed on Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon.

BTW, bootlegs are ILLEGAL copies - this is not an illegal copy. In Spain, if a studio has not released a particular movie in that country, it is more-or-less free game (or so I understand from my research).

I will acknowledge that it is not an OFFICIAL studio release, but to call it a bootleg (illegal copy), is a misnomer.

NOTE: I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV (or in this forum's case, the movies).

Check your cart to make sure it is sold by Valhalla Movies. $22.99 and ships from Amazon. I noticed other sellers are more $$$.

Mine came from Valhalla via Ebay and their service was great.
