Outstanding! Day one!

Finally! Great news.

I might have to do a blind buy on this one. I've been on a bit of a Michael Keaton kick lately, and this one has been on my to-watch list for ages.

Finally a proper home video release of this movie. Should be a revelation next to the ancient Laserdisc release and the old, crappy DVD.

[Sugar Bear]

Much prefer this to James Woods' The Boost.

[HeavyHitter]

Haven't seen this in many years so not sure how it will hold up, but I recall it being quite good.

[meremortal]

Hope WB releases more movies on blu from that era.

Any news on a UK release ?

Keaton's "Night Shift" came out in UK right after US release. Fingers crossed for this one.

[AaronGN]

I wish it had some behind the scenes features of any kind. Cast and crew retrospectives, commentary, something, anything

I've yet to received confirmation from WAC, but this seems to be another title affected by their accidental use of a mono mix rather than the original (stereo, in this case). I'll do my best to keep you updated, but prospective buyers may want to hold off for now.

Oh, for the love of.

And of course, mine was dispatched to the UK seven days ago.

This news makes me want to be decidedly less sober than I am right now, Randy.

Tell me about it. I am holding on to a few partially finished 4K and Blu-ray reviews while these recent audio problems are (hopefully) being sorted out, but luckily WAC has a pretty good track record of fixing faulty discs.

Doggone it and my copy delivers today looks like I'll have to get a replacement disc something I've never done before.

[HeavyHitter]

Glad I read this thread because I was literally seconds away from hitting the 'Place Your Order' button on Amazon. But I wonder if it will be faster to buy it and then request the replacement when it's hopefully available versus waiting for it to appear in stores and figuring out how to identify it.

That's a toss-up. I'd personally at least wait until a replacement program is announced, but I'm all but certain that'll happen in the coming weeks so it's up to you.

[InuYashaCrusade]

Hope a replacement is announced soon. My copy arrived last week but I haven't opened it yet.

[Dubliner1]

Great film!

[Fat Phil]

My copy arrived.



To open it, or not to open it? That is the question.

For some reason, I was expecting it to say 2.0 stereo on the artwork but erroneously have a mono track on the disc, but it does actually list 2.0 mono on the artwork. Lol. Is it possible it's just an artwork error, Randy? Or is there really no separation between the channels?
