Where is the Great Outdoors? - Blu-ray Forum

DVDFreaker · 10-02-2011, 01:35 AM

This is my favorite John Candy film, since most of John Candy's poplar movies came out on Blu-Ray, we just need the Great Outdoors and I will be a happy camper!

Sweet! I do not have the DVD but I am patiently waiting for the Blu-Ray to come out!

Monolithium · 10-02-2011, 03:13 AM

Um, outside.

*crickets*

Now that the ice has been broken, I would love this film on Blu.

Me-Hostage · 10-05-2011, 08:10 AM

Yes!!! Been meaning to pick the DVD up, but would love to see it get a BD release.

For those that don't have the DVD, don't bother. It's Non anamorphic and crappy transfer. Technically, @ 6.2 MB/sec average, I expected a much better picture. O well, we need this on Blu ray....day one for me...

if u want the movie, it's the only option u've got.

formula72 · 10-07-2011, 09:07 PM

Unfortunately, you are correct, But.....and this is a big but......

You can get the anamorphic version in the John Candy Comedy Favorites Collection. I can not state if the transfer is inferior or not to the non anamorphic, but you do get the full 1:85.1...

Region 2 & region 4 are the same as region 1 as they all have the crappy non anamorphic outside this collection

it's a dvd...u can't expect much more.

i'm content w/the copy i have personally....still a hilarious movie.

It should be released in a 2 disc pack along with Summer Rental which I felt was one of his best. The Great Outdoors seemed almost to be a Dan Akroyd film, just like Planes, Trains & Automobiles where he also had shared billing. But Summer Rental was all John Candy.

I understand, but depending on the transfer, some dvd's look great while most, look, well.... sad...
The movie is funny as hell, and would love to see a Blu release

Watched this on HDNETmovies last night and i still can't believe no BD has been released yet! Such a classic!

Doctor Jack · 11-09-2013, 02:23 PM

It's right next to all the grisel and fat from the old '96er.

TheAnimeLegend · 11-10-2013, 10:18 PM

I think it is sad that Planes, Trains and Automobiles has already been released on BD twice and the Great Outdoors hasn't come out at all. Hope that we see finally see a Blu-ray release in 2014.
