May 2011? Talk about planning ahead.

That cover is fantastic.

rkolinski · 12-22-2010, 04:03 PM

This is really good news because, being a Vietnam veteran, I think this is the best Vietnam war movie ever made. Thanks for posting this and I'm glad I own a region free BD player.

Fantastic news!

Poshteh1 · 12-22-2010, 04:22 PM

Absolutely fantastic news! One of my favourite films! Have been waiting for the Blu-ray for a while!

Henke007 · 12-22-2010, 04:23 PM

I hope its in AVC and not MPEG2 like the version out in ASIA...

The Driver · 12-22-2010, 04:51 PM

That'll be a popular title. Fox handled the excellent Definitive releases (that artwork is pretty close to the USA Steelbook one) so we should get a shed load of extras or at least a DVD duplicate.

They have to be ****ing joking with that price tag. This'll be £9.99 before before you know it.

Nothing listed at the BVA yet which is odd http://www.bva.org.uk/node/484545 This was originally announced 4 years' ago come January 2011.

Wow! Great news! Really glad I have a region free player as well. I'll definitely be pre-ordering this.

Being Fox, I don't think they are. Sadly.

Fantastic news! One of my favourite movies, bit of a wait until May tho.

gettodamoofies · 12-22-2010, 10:56 PM

Getting this one for sure. I expect it'll drop in price a fair bit before release.

KingSimba · 12-22-2010, 11:05 PM

Never seen this film before but seems like something I'd probably enjoy.

I dont understand why studios put price tags of £16 etc on catalog titles though, imo catalog titles shouldnt be anymore than around £12/£13 when they're first released.

Jompa · 12-24-2010, 07:27 PM

I will only buy it if it's improved from the HK BD.

razor81 · 12-24-2010, 09:08 PM

I hope thic come with slipcover. It will be nice.

I think it will do, they normally put them on. Fantastic news can't wait for this...

Alex_DeLarge · 12-24-2010, 10:39 PM

A fine release.

Me too - I love the characters. Try 84 Charlie Mopic, which you can get on DVD from Amazon.uk

huntauk · 12-25-2010, 10:44 AM

Great news - and although I'd rather it were released sooner - its good on my bank balance that my 2011 wanted list is staggered reasonably to a managable schedule. (Until studios annouce more that is!)

Moviefan1203 · 12-26-2010, 10:53 PM

Outstanding news, I'm hoping for a good transfer. This film deserves it!

I think we should be hoping for reference quality! And a whole heap of extras! I really hope they don't mess up this release!
