Prior to the last 12 months I would have given this a 50/50 chance that it will get a decent encode. However, after this last year...the odds aren't quite as good anymore.

Mill Creek is a tough one--- 50/50 is correct-- they are perfectly capable of putting out a quality release... but often they choose not to....

Has anyone seen the HD version of this online? Just wondering what are everyone's thoughts on the transfer?

You should see it and this is really good crime action film.

Always catch this movie on TV late at night for some reason. Definitely getting it.

I have the German blu-ray of Renegades. I thought it looked pretty good.

Here it is on the LD:

I guess Mill Creek must have re-typed it, hence "and" for "an" and the garbled end sentence.

My guess is that, just like Universal's ad copy, Mill Creek nicked the running time off of the VHS cover. How they got the rating wrong (and why they used the modern version, to boot) is anyone's guess.

I hope it's just a typo, as I'm not buying this if it's cut.

It won't be cut. There is no PG-13 version of this movie, if there was it would be noted on the MPAA's official website, and labels or studios can't edit a movie and self-apply a rating. The website still shows it as being rated R, so it's just a mistake on the cover art.

Well, that's good to hear. Now, I wonder why they made so many mistakes on that back cover.

Possibly, maybe even probably, but I'm still curious, as this is exactly the type of movie that gets quietly censored for the PC whiners these days. I didn't even realize Crocodile Dundee had been censored until someone here pointed it out, and I'd actually seen that one many times back in the 80s.

The MPA's (formerly the MPAA) official site doesn't include a database of movie ratings that I could find. They do have a pointer to filmratings.com, as if they are associated, but it didn't mention going there for a ratings database, only for more info on how it works. Filmratings about us page talks more about rating movie advertising than actual movies. So, I'm not sure it can be trusted to be thorough, or updated frequently, as just in a few short searches I had difficulty finding major productions. But their search obviously needs some work.

The PS3 clocked the BD at 1hr 45min 28sec. Before this BD, which shows a runtime of 105min, past dvds appear to have always listed the time as 106min, as does IMDb. It wouldn't be the first time they just rounded up. But, not only is the back of the case misprinted as PG13, the slipcover is as well, as is the disc label. Anybody still have the previous dvd to check the time? It wouldn't matter much for my interest, having never seen the film before, but I can't help but be curious if quiet censorship is something we need to be more conscious of.
