Stripes Blu-ray Review

For those Bill Murray fans out there, not only do you get Scrooged but also Stripes is coming soon from Sony!

The disc has the theatrical version PLUS the 126 minute extended version.

More info to come!!

I've been waiting for Stripes. Let's hope we get a release date soon.

Weirded Wonder · 07-20-2011, 04:35 PM

Still waiting for Meatballs.

goodluckchuck · 07-20-2011, 04:46 PM

A real good movie, but would it look good on BD? I feel Stripes could look real bad if they use some old master.

TLeeTx2012 · 07-20-2011, 04:47 PM

Excellent news!

DetroitSportsFan · 07-20-2011, 05:16 PM

Nice.

Guydowood · 07-20-2011, 05:43 PM

sweet, they got this lined up to play on HDNET movies and lately it seems some of the movies they show essentially get released on blu a month or 2 after.

Liquid_Swords · 07-20-2011, 06:22 PM

Damn, nice news!

GuruAskew · 07-20-2011, 06:33 PM

It'd be nice if Sony would knock out "Stripes", "Meatballs" and "Ghostbusters II" all at once to finish out the Murray/Ramis collaborations on Blu.

Jarfa · 07-20-2011, 06:38 PM

German release @ Sep 22, 2011

tylergfoster · 07-20-2011, 06:46 PM

Note that Stripes is streaming in HD on Netflix (TV only), or was last time I checked, which may give an idea of what the Blu will look like.

Ator the Invincible · 07-20-2011, 07:06 PM

Nice. I almost bought this on DVD literally just a few days ago. I needed one more item to round my Amazon order up to free shipping range, and I almost picked this DVD. Thankfully I thought better of it and decided to wait for news of a blu. Didn't have to wait long!

Pirate King · 07-20-2011, 07:10 PM

Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do. Oh hell yes.

I watched my Extended Edition DVD a few months ago, and I thought it looked awful. Not so much that the transfer was bad; it's just a lot of gaudy compression on the disc. On Blu-Ray it'll probably still be a bit drab, but unless they goof something up (too much DNR, too much noise, something), it should look miles better than any DVD copy before it.

"That's a fact, Jack!"

Wouldn't any movie do that?

peter008 · 07-20-2011, 08:24 PM

great! im very happy to hear that, i already own the stripes dvd but i really, really want the blu-ray hopefully very soon.

rickah88 · 07-20-2011, 09:21 PM

Great news! I had seen this listed a few times on (i think)ShowtimeHD, or one of the other movie channels. Thought it looked okay for OTA content. Hopefully the BD will include the TOP SECRET EM-50 Urban Assualt Vehicle cut-n-fold insert!

BouCoupDinkyDau · 07-20-2011, 09:26 PM

Man, Stripes used to be one of my absolute favorite comedies, but I have seen it sooo many times that I don't think I could stomach it again.

I'll pass for now. Maybe I'll snag it when I run out of things to collect and it hits the bargain bin.

ScottDS · 07-20-2011, 09:52 PM

I hope they implement the extended version differently. I don't believe the DVD was seamlessly branched:

-If you played the theatrical version, there would be a slight pause as the player skipped over the extended scenes...

-But if you played the extended version, a subtitle would flash "Extended Scene" every time something new came up.
