I KEEL YOU · 07-09-2012, 12:30 PM

Just got this on DVD and it's one of the most hilariously random movies I've seen.

I would love to see this on blu ray.

You should really consider getting the DVD if you like it and if you can get it for cheap. It's an annoying flipper disc unfortunately, but it has good picture quality (by DVD standards of course), and it's worth for the audio commentary alone, where the director and Cage laugh at all the random stuff people laugh at now more than two decades after it was released:

yeah id like to see it again. maybe if i drag my feet long enough the blu will come out and spare me having to buy the dvd.

Yeah this one is definitely for Cage fans! I remember watching it by accident years ago and laughing quite a bit. Hardly anybody knows about it too!

this film actually aired on broadcast TV the other week (THIS tv if you get the channel. it actually shows some great -and not so great- films regularly). i missed it, but i was psyched to see the commerical advertising it.

im sure it was pan & scan (my VHS probably is too im assuming, its been a while) and edited for content, but i would liked to have seen it anyways. actually, im almost positive they will re-air at some point. they recycle a lot. ill try to catch it at some point.

+1

I have the DVD and I agree that for the commentary alone,
it is worth a purchase.

Hilarious!!!

Here are some highlights from the audio commentary for those who didn't hear it:

Come on, Shout Factory. Please, PLEASE release this!!!!

Scream/Shout Factory is releasing it next February as a double feature set with High Spirits (1988).

I'm glad that Vampire's Kiss is finally getting a blu-ray release, but I'm disappointed that it's not being released on its own.... I kind of hate it when companies do double features, especially when they put two completely unrelated films together!

RockyBalboa · 10-27-2014, 12:19 PM

Well, at least it's coming out, but yuck.

Very mixed feelings about this release, for obvious reasons.

The combined running time for the two movies is 3 hours and 20 minutes, which isn't too much for the picture quality to suffer (Lawrence of Arabia is 3h and 47m). I'm more worried about Shout being trigger happy on the DNR button, which they unfortunately are way too often. The first couple of minutes (opening credits) of the HDTV master have a lot of specks and scratches, which could lead them to DNR it.

The chances of new extras are slim to none, but they better not leave out the excellent audio commentary from the North American DVD. But they could've still dedicated the full disc to VK and included the other cut (theatrical, I believe), which was 10 minutes or so shorter.
