I wouldn’t bother unless it’s had a full remaster. Easily one of the worst transfers I’ve ever seen.

This will sit, rear facing, on my shelf.

It’s from Arrow (if you look at the logo on the spine). There’s no reason to think this won’t be a remastered edition.

This will be a must own.

Do Arrow’s releases via Zavvi typically work in Region A players? I know that Zavvi sometimes says discs are Region B-only when they aren’t....

The actual article said there would be US links coming soon.

From the Arrow press release:

New restoration by Arrow Films from a 4K scan of the original negative

It includes both the theatrical cut and an extended cut.

This is a dual US/UK release via Arrow. You are safe to order it as it will play in your Region A device.

mars5l · 04-26-2019, 04:50 PM

If its the new 4k scan, can we just get the 4k disc then already?

Billz · 04-26-2019, 07:12 PM

I've never seen this film.
Guess it's as good a time as any to pick it up.

Good. Arrow’s remasters are usually excellent.

Always thought she looks about 60 years old and pumped full of Botox in that front artwork. It's awful. Movie is pretty bad too.

Usure · 04-27-2019, 12:20 AM

i couldn't order fast enough. More HUGHES please.

Right there with you. I’m a child of the ‘80s. Love ‘80s-era John Hughes. But I’ve always found this movie to be annoying and limp, and Kelly Le Brock has always looked like a manish fright.

hockeyshark91 · 04-27-2019, 02:54 AM

So-so movie, awesome steelbook. As for kelly LeBrock looking old and manly-

Socko · 04-27-2019, 08:48 AM

Kelly is on both sides of the steelbook. Awesome!

reewinder · 04-27-2019, 11:28 AM

I woulda liked to have seen Chet somewhere in the artwork. RIP Bill Paxton.
