Point Break gets re-released on blu 6/14/2011 (Warner Bros.) - Blu-ray Forum

Point Break Blu-ray

Looks like Point Break will be re-released on blu-ray again this time by Warner Bros. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Point...Blu-ray/20848/

The original release was from Fox and was called the "Pure Adrenaline Edition" and it's currently OOP.

There is no word yet on special features on the upcoming blu release.

This was one of my faves from the 90's.

Sad that many buyers on sites like Ebay,etc. have no idea that this is being re-released, so they are paying high prices when they really don't have to.
This will most likely will happen when the the Casalanca and Lethal Weapon movies are pulled, the "average joe" will have no idea that new version is on the way, and the Ebay vultures will be charging redulculous prices for them.

You're about to jump out a perfectly good airplane Jonny, how do you feel about that?

I've never seen this film, but I remember it being hilariously featured in Hot Fuzz. Based on that alone, I've got to give this a rental sometime.

Point taken...I hope the dont give us a better transfer then

No double dip for me. I am happy with the Point Break Blu that I already have. "Unlawful Entry" on blu would be nice. Cool flick IMO.

greekak229 · 02-18-2011, 04:52 PM

Warner Bros and other companies should really just, like, not rush movies into being in released onto Blu, only to have them re-released because the quality was so poor on the previous one. TAKE YOUR TIME ON THEM.

I second that. It's an old setup, but the cast is top shelf and the plotting is very well done. I'd also like to see Bad Influence on Blu ASAP!

I agree. I have Point Break and the transfer looks pretty damn good to me.

What are you talking about? Of all of the discs that just sold on ebay, none were above $20.

Todd_Gaines · 02-19-2011, 01:43 AM

fun film that still is fun 20 yrs later. Johnny Utah for the win

BasicGreatGuy · 02-19-2011, 02:11 AM

I already have the previous release. Not going to buy again.

menaceuk · 02-23-2011, 07:14 AM

That means region free which means I can finally add this to my collection

I felt pretty fortunate to find it for $7.99 at Best Buy back in December. This new $5 price is a good incentive for all to revisit a truly fun flick.

I bought it yesterday.

coffeeman · 12-23-2013, 11:39 AM

i just bought this and watched it, i read there is some heavy grain in scenes but this is ridiculous and shots out of focus. i use to have this on laser disc
dont remember if that was grainy too

wow this film didnt get the treatment it deserved!!

Sky_Captain · 12-23-2013, 05:25 PM

Nonsense.

Bodhi09 · 12-24-2013, 09:07 AM

My favorite movie. Keanu was on the Dan Patrick show on Monday and they had a lengthy conversation about Point Break and his career. Good stuff if anyone is interested.
