48 Hrs (1982) - Blu-ray Forum

Sylentwolf · 06-14-2010, 04:06 AM

Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) is a hard-nosed cop who is paired up with Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) -- a convict who is released from prison in Cates's custody for 48 hours in order to help Cates track down a pair of maniacal cop killers.

NO RELEASE DATE

Hopefully Another 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hill Cop 2, Cape Fear, etc will soon follow

It is coming out in the UK.

I've never seen the sequel but 48 hrs is the blueprint for the mismatched buddy cop film. Walter Hill, Nick Nolte, and Eddie Murphy at the top of their game.

P@t_Mtl · 06-15-2010, 10:21 AM

I have only seen them once each, been at least 25 years niw since I saw the second one. Was alright but I never really wanted to see either one again.

48 Hrs is decent, but it's nowhere near as funny as people make it out to be. It's actually pretty dark and violent for the most part. IMO, Lethal Weapon is the better buddy cop movie model for all the knockoffs.

Another 48 Hrs was pretty bad. And the twist at the end with the Iceman made absolutely no sense. Why would a drug kingpin like that need to keep his day job? And how did he and Eddie Murphy never cross paths in the first movie?

If you listen to the score of 48 hrs, it's almost the exact same for Commando.

which means COMMANDO rips it off since it came out 3 years later--

48 HRS is a great film that has never even had a 16x9 release on dvd!
looking forward to having this released on blu-ray (along with the inferior but still enjoyable sequel)

+1
and this is coming from one of the world's biggest 48 Hrs fans. This is hands down my favorite Eddie Murphy film, but for the life of me I can't figure out why people still call it a "comedy".

Sure, the redneck bar scene is funny, but otherwise 48 Hrs is a dead serious cop film (and probably the best ever).

Not true. The Double Feature dvd (with Another 48 Hrs.) is most definitely anamorphic, though none of the other reissues are.

CZAR · 06-15-2010, 03:53 PM

I absolutely love 48 Hrs. Its one of my all time favorite cop/comedy/action films. The sequel is pretty good also but doesnt compare to the first film but I wouldnt mind owning both on blu so please release those. Got Em!!

Starman22 · 06-16-2010, 04:27 AM

I never seen both yet but I wanna to see both someday. Im sure Eddie Murphy the funniest I guess

I stand corrected-- must have come out once I stopped buying dvd's and jumped to blu-ray

Yep. James Horner did the soundtracks for both.

The first 48 Hours OST is the best. IT's hardcore as hell!

Makes complete sense. James Horner is notorious for recycling his own scores.
