Nice!

[KcMsterpce]

Wow, really?

That's quite funny. I just watched it a couple months ago. First time in... 30 years? How odd.

I'm thankful for James Horner and James Cameron's contribution to this movie's existence... and how it pushed their careers to new heights.

[Sneezeman]

Is that... is that a starship in the shape of boobies?

[Filmmaker]

The Blu-ray is already pretty damn good. I wonder how much more they can squeeze out of it.

I suppose HDR might make it worth the upgrade.

Hope we get Space Raiders as well, which reused the score and visual effects footage from this movie

Corman.

[starmike]

I hope to God they fix the gate weave on the opening credits, unless it's baked into the print.

[JRcanReid]

What a time to be alive.

[hasslein]

Definitely was on my wish list. Just hope shout picks a different section of the music for the menu. Bugs the crap out of me every time I hear the trumpet player muff the high note.

[MifuneFan]

Cover art!

[huskersports]

At first I thought that read "Battle of the Network Stars", and thought "finally getting those episodes on BD!" hahahaha

[spudeus]

With Corman's films, I feel like the less resolution you have, the better they look.

[dlbsyst]

Somehow, I never got this on Blu-ray so will definitely be picking up the 4K Blu-ray.

Not this movie. It's actually quite good and very entertaining.

[Maggot]

Oh wow! The "lets all cash in on the Star Wars" movie from when I was 13 years old. Never saw it in the theater, but man was it constantly on cable in the early 80's. Would have never thought The Walton's - "John Boy" to be in a sci-fi movie. Leading men Robert Vaughn and George Peppard cashing in.....LOL. Certainly a guilty pleasure for me and I'll buy. And of course, as everybody fondly remembers........the starship boobie-prize!

If anyone is wondering who the sacrificial was that bought the bluray and watched it recently, yea it was me. So I guess yous are welcome
