I kinda confirmed them by making the correction.

Yes, we have the following:
Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978) w/ Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel, Yaphet Kotto
Tony Richardson's The Border (1982) w/ Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Warren Oates, Valerie Perrine
Fred Schepisi's Iceman (1984) w/ Timothy Hutton, Lindsay Crouse, John Lone

Most of these titles we've confirmed have not received official announcements, so please stop asking why are they not on the schedule, what happened to so and so and when are they coming out. Some will come out soon others later.

Awesome. Especially looking forward to "The Border"... looks like a great blind buy, have been wanting to see for a while now.

Gacivory · 01-25-2019, 12:25 AM

Between this, Far From Heaven, and Kundun, Kino is filling in some holes in my wanted titles!

dkelly26666 · 01-25-2019, 12:26 AM

ALL three of those are well worth owning.

HuggyBear73 · 01-25-2019, 12:34 AM

Will BLUE COLLAR be a 4K remaster? Already have the Indicator release.

Gonna have to double dip on Kino's CHARLY VARRICK since it will be a 4K Remaster and Indicator's isn't.

Starman22 · 01-25-2019, 05:54 PM

What a great news and I saw this movie once first time viewing 7 years ago and glad to see coming to Blu-ray. So one day for me.

Thanks Kino!

Anyone know why this site has no existing - in print or otherwise - listing for this film in search results?

There are three - US, UK, and Germany.

The US listing is just a placeholder though because the disc hasn’t been released yet.

RoyHobbs9 · 06-23-2019, 01:21 PM

I have not seen this but after hearing the reviews from The Border page, I really want to see now. Hopefully, they put this on NetFlix.

Just heard about this forthcoming BC Blu release; it's scheduled to come out this December.

This is great news. BC is an excellent late '70's look at union factory jobs in Detroit. This film has a perfect mixture of humor & drama, which is unusual for a Paul Schrader film.

However, the current DVD release is terrible; poor PQ, and the framing is odd (not sure if this is considered Anamorphic or not). So, seeing this in HD will be fantastic.

yellowcakeuf6 · 09-26-2019, 01:59 PM

I saw this on HD cable last year, and the PQ was excellent. The UK release has received high praises, so I'm just waiting on reviews of Kino's work.

Great cover! I like how the wrench/tool is in the pseudo-shape of a car. The three main characters (Pryor, Kotto, and Keitel) being stuck in the "jaws" symbolizes the conflicts/obstacles they encounter in the film.

Starman22 · 09-27-2019, 11:05 PM

The Blu-ray cover seen ok and finally release date... still one day for me

The Sentry · 10-02-2019, 07:17 PM

So looking forward to this. Kino Lorber is releasing such great stuff.

JTwoH · 10-02-2019, 08:26 PM

Wait, so this ISN'T a post about the Blue Collar Comedy Tour finally being released on Blu Ray??

Dang it!

javi92 · 10-02-2019, 09:24 PM

Wasn't this supposed to be a 4K scan - or am I confusing titles?

malicedoom · 10-03-2019, 06:10 PM

About. Friggin'. Time.

DukeTogo84 · 11-20-2019, 08:47 PM

If anyone wants this early, Diabolik has it in stock right now.

DukeTogo84 · 11-24-2019, 05:06 PM

This has been on my watch list for over 10 years and just never got around to it. Watched the Kino release yesterday. Wow. What an immersive film. Not a weak performance to be found and kept me captivated for the entire running time. I just wish it didn't end where it ended as I would have liked to see things play out.

As for this release, picture and sound were great. No DNR as far as I could see and natural grain. Again, a great release.
