LOOKER (1981)
NEW 2018 1080p HD remaster!
Run Time 93:00
Subtitles English SDH
Sound Quality DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English
Aspect Ratio ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO - 2.40:1, 16 X 9 LETTERBOX
Product Color COLOR
Disc Configuration BD 50
Special Features: Introduction and Commentary by Michael Crichton; Deleted Scene (As Used in Network Television Version); Theatrical Trailer

That TV commercial actress is so seductive she could sell you anything. She’s only a computer-generated illusion. What about the real beauty who was the computer’s model? Sorry, you can’t meet her: She and others like her have been murdered.

Writer/director Michael Crichton (ER, Coma) reaches into his brain-teasing bag of tricks for a mesmerizing thriller full of unfriendly persuasion generated by high-tech trickery. Albert Finney stars as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon whose supermodel clients start dying mysteriously. Susan Dey plays his latest patient, also now in peril. And James Coburn is the head of a research facility which has developed a subtly hypnotic way to sell things. Take a good look at sleek, chic, scary Looker. There’s a lot more than meets the eye.

Was hoping for this someday, as I like the movies Michael Crichton directed. This one was eerily prophetic.

cad1981 · 08-21-2018, 06:19 PM

Great that they're including that deleted scene! It's only, to date, been available as a low quality YouTube clip.

cad1981 · 08-21-2018, 06:45 PM

Is there a release date?

Member-222782 · 08-21-2018, 06:53 PM

Another DVD to retire. So that deleted scene is being shown here for the first time?

jonali · 08-21-2018, 07:03 PM

Very excited for this. The Terminal Man coming up next?

The Great Owl · 08-21-2018, 10:02 PM

Nice! I've been waiting.

aspberger · 08-21-2018, 10:08 PM

Hell yes.....and Susan Dey in her prime as well.

Alfredlynch · 08-21-2018, 10:32 PM

Awesome!

phraseturner · 08-21-2018, 10:32 PM

I picked this title up just today brand new and still in shrinkwrap at a Goodwill store for $2... so you're all welcome.

Michael24 · 08-22-2018, 03:31 AM

I swore Runaway was on Blu-ray in the USA but I guess it's not. Would love to see somebody get that one out. I'd love to have Crichton's whole filmography on Blu-ray. I enjoy all of his films.

You've just reminded me that I have a neglected 12" of this just itching to be spun.

Seconded hard.

Demented D · 08-22-2018, 05:21 AM

I've been waiting patiently for this one! This film is one of my childhood favorites. I used to watch it all the time when it came on HBO or whatever. I was psyched to get the DVD, and now I cannot wait to get the blu-ray.

I'm surprised no one ever parodied the theme song to "She's a hooker".

I remember I wanted to see this so bad when it was new. I was in my teens and desperate to see Lori Partridge naked.

HotRats · 08-22-2018, 08:02 AM

Been hoping this would get a release for a long time. The looker gun is one of the best gadgets I've seen. Sue Saad's song is great (wish the soundtrack would get a CD issue) but Kim Carnes did a version on her Voyeur album.

Sue's demo
