I'm sure it is better than a dvd and I have some Mill Creek titles that look great. But it may still turn out to be a disaster. Just being overly cautious, I guess.

On another note, I'd like to get Amazon prime because of some of the benefits. But last time I had it, I went hog wild on Blu purchases. I just can't control myself!

Anyone know which is the actual cover being used for this?

Amazon shows this one:

While MC's site shows this:

I prefer the first one given the choice, but not a big deal.

It's both. Reversible artwork was mentioned on the Facebook page for Mill Creek. I'm pretty sure the Amazon one is the alternate artwork.

Oh nice. I was going to ask whether it's reversible, but I don't think MC had done so before (or at least not regularly), so didn't bother.

I'm surprised as well considering the budget nature of the release.

I just ordered Band of the Hand from Barnes & Noble for $5.76 (including taxes) with free shipping.

I'm surprised that the whole world isn't knocking down doors to get this Blu-ray for such a low price. It's a great deal.

I'm currently revisiting the Miami Vice television series on Blu-ray, so this movie will fit perfectly with that vibe.

In the past I've found that even hardcore Dylan fanatics who seem to own every Dylan recording known to man don't have the Band of the Hand song in their collection.

Well, if there were a limited edition version with a glossy slipcover and booklet that people will never actually read, you can bet they'd be rushing to Amazon with a rock-hard erection to order a copy at $27.99.

VanDammage80 · 01-06-2017, 07:30 PM

Pre-ordered mine and can't wait to throw it on.

edwoodjr · 01-06-2017, 08:01 PM

Had to pre-order at that price. Looking forward to revisiting it!

John Horus · 01-08-2017, 12:22 AM

I picked up a copy today at my local Fry's for $4.99 + tax. Saw it in theaters upon release and I don't believe I've seen it since.

num1cboysfn · 01-08-2017, 12:57 AM

Pre ordered at Best Buy $6.99. Free two day shipping for me.

The film's page at the Mill Creek Entertainment website says that it does.

slasherdisc · 01-09-2017, 01:16 AM

MPEG-2 really?

Kill Bren · 01-10-2017, 01:53 AM

I have it and love it.

Just don't ask me where I got it.

I actually forgot.

BTW, to the OP, that isn't the trailer.

Picked this up for $4.99 at Fry's. Was a trip to revisit after all these years.

A few questions: What happened to Al Shannon who played Dorcey. He was cool. Remember him from that episode of Miami Vice he was in, but more so from this. He had a cool screen presence, why wasn't he in much else?

Also, Mr. Mister's Broken Wings is not listed in the end credits of the film with all the other songs used. Why would that be?
