Paramount will be releasing a 4K set titled: ZAZ: The Collection! on November 19th, which will will include Airplane! Top Secret!, and The Naked Gun. ZAZ refers to the great writer/director trio of Jim Abrahams and brothers David and Jerry Zucker. This is a 6-disc set with 4K and BD copies of all three films. The set will also include collectible posters, and a booket.

That would surprise me, since it feels like Paramount's catalog UHDs almost never come with 1080p versions of the movies.

They are inconsistent about that, but unless the 6-discs is wrong, I don't see how they get to that amount without BD's being included. The Naked Gun's release did have a Blu-ray disc as well. It's possible they could include Blu-ray film versions of stuff they're not releasing on 4K too like the 2 Naked Gun sequels.

Would have made more sense to be an Airplane!/Airplane II! combo set like the old blu-ray.

JohnnyF · 09-03-2024, 04:48 PM

Maybe it’s including the Police Squad series and not the Naked Gun film (which I’m pretty sure only one of them directed)

I thought about that as a possibility too for one of the included BD's. Paramount released that back in 2020 on a single disc.

Police Squad needs to be on 4k (in Color!)

Would be great if we got the deleted scenes and gags from the TV version of Airplane. Maybe even the full TV edit?

Running to the phone to spread the news...!

I just hope they fix the borked audio on Top Secret!, as the 5.1 track on the Blu sounded dreadful.

Fix? Paramount?

They fixed the audio issue in Rosemary's Baby UHD with a recall. And they fixed the restoration of To Catch a Thief.

Great news. The BD for "Top Secret!" was a huge letdown, so I'm hoping for better quality here. Haven't seen "Airplane!" in quite a while.

Geoff D · 09-03-2024, 05:26 PM

The remaster for Airplane! is lovely overall BUT they've murdered the opticals on the Blu, they're not just heavily scrubbed but the colour is wonky and motion has this bizarre sped-up look to it, and there are more opticals in here than people may think. I hope they've taken another crack at them for the UHD rendition. Oh, and they erased the wires in the disco dancing bit with Robert Hayes. I always thought they were part of the charm, and the trivia track on the old Blu even delights in pointing them out, but the joke was lost on whoever oversaw the 4K transfer.

I will buy that, surely!

I'd love it if they put Ruthless People in but that wont happen.

A 4k bluray of Airplane!? What is it?

If this gets a UK release then it's an absolutely essential day 1 purchase for me.
