The Car (1977) - Blu-ray Forum

Manfonse · 04-28-2013, 08:19 PM

Thought I would share this with my US friends, the car is getting a uk bluray release soon. New HD transfer and extras including reversible cover art. Anyone who likes this with a region free player should grab it.

Never thought this would get a blu release at all.

SOLD!

NoirFan · 04-28-2013, 09:09 PM

I'll wait and see if Scream releases this, seems a reasonable candidate for them.

Thomas Veil · 04-28-2013, 09:53 PM

I want this badly...I messaged Shout/Scream about this but haven't heard anything. I'll wait for Scream as well..don't have a region free player and don't feel like getting one.

Brad1963 · 04-29-2013, 01:30 AM

I'll hold out for a potential U.S. release. This seems like the type of film that Scream Factory will release.

Cujo · 04-29-2013, 03:32 PM

Fantastic news indeed. I couldn't care less about SF, so this is a definite buy.

4Dblu · 04-29-2013, 05:10 PM

WOW i thought i never see this comin' ha, i jus watched this on dvd the other day Lol

come on Scream release it....

Nailwraps · 04-29-2013, 05:13 PM

From what Cliff said, Scream/Shout! is awaiting for a response from Universal to see if they want to renew their sub-licensing deal with films. Still waiting for their response, Cliff?

day two!

I remember when most Arrow releases were reagion free. Why are they locking these up now? I own quite a few region free titles from them and they are awesome. I would have imported The Car and The Last American Virgin.

There's probably some agreement in effect with Shout in the US that both studios will region lock their respective versions in order not to compete with one another.

Spire · 04-29-2013, 11:54 PM

Definitely be keeping my eyes peeled!

Brady_2_Moss · 04-30-2013, 12:10 AM

people actually liked this movie? man it was bad IMO lol

Jr7936 · 04-30-2013, 12:33 AM

you could still buy the ones from arrow and then eventually just get an all region player over time. it's what I plan to do eventually since i have 7 region b titles,

Talyn · 04-30-2013, 12:50 AM

One way or another I'll be getting The Car..... I will give the US and Scream the benefit of my patience before committing to it though...

Jr7936 · 04-30-2013, 01:03 AM

the thing is if you want the arrow version, it's only 21 shipped now from amazon.co.uk and it will probably go up in price before it comes out

rrpmpstck · 04-30-2013, 01:06 AM

This is one of my re-discovered favorite films. I saw it as a kid and then years later I saw it on late night tv and really enjoyed seeing it. Then Anchor Bay I think put out a DVD that was pretty hard to find and I watched it a lot. I have been dieing for this to come to BR and with some cool extras. I hope it is worth the anticipation.

They've said on twitter that they'd like to make their releases region free where possible, contractual demands in these cases.

beadelf · 04-30-2013, 08:07 AM

never seen this! sounds like a remake of DUEL .....probably skip it.

indisposed · 04-30-2013, 12:00 PM

How bizarre... Friday evening I watched the Blu-ray of Octopussy that had James Brolin's Bond screen tests, two days after that I was nosing through my Razzie Movie Guide and came across this film(which ofcourse stars James Brolin)...

Now two days later, I find out that it is being released on Blu-ray!

Is it as un-intentionally hilarious as they say?
