More curious about the transfer.

Isn't there a directors cut about to be released? Maybe in US first?

Cactus · 02-09-2015, 01:48 PM

AFAIK the Director's Cut was only ever released on DVD.

Commando Director's Cut is coming out on Blu ray as a steelbook in Japan in April 2015
Also a Commando Directors Cut Steelbook Buy ray in Germany/Czech Republic in May 2015

Most likely will also be in the UK and other countries as well
Considering the BBFC have just passed a Commando directors cut you can expect a UK Commando Directors Cut Blu ray Steelbook release to happen

Japanese edition: http://www.amazon.co.jp/ãƒ‡ã‚£ãƒ¬ã‚¯...words=commando

German edition: (removed) This was an old theatrical BD/director's cut DVD release.

Light House Cinema in Ireland will do a limited screening.

I hope another cinema chain will do screenings in the UK too. It would be nice to see it remastered and on a cinema screen.

If a local Cinema shows this I will be all over it.
Hoping to catch Long good Friday too if it comes locally.
Why don't more cinemas show older movies, even not remastered?

They don't really see a huge audience for older movies in the UK. The US seems to do better but they're usually with smaller theatre chains or private theatres plus they (we) don't want to invest to promote re-releases. But I'm sure you get decent attendance with some 80s double-bills if you could source the prints.

How did I miss this. I am not sure I have ever seen the Directors Cut unless it was on VHS. I still have the original blu ray sealed so not sure to get this or not. What are the extras?

The extras include a doc (split into 2 parts but it's the same people) which includes footage from the making of the movie and new interviews with the director, leading lady and the guy who played Benett. There's also a director's commentary.

Thanks

filmmusic · 05-16-2016, 11:37 AM

Unfortunately this new release doesn't include the original audio.

I just wish every updated release of a film, had all the specs of the previous one included.

Brightstar · 07-11-2016, 04:06 PM

so i need to go to special features to see the Dirctor's cut ?

It was 1985 so the wind was not as strong back then.
