Would like a Steelbook for this but that front artwork is not very good. And the spine is awful. Shame.

I'm not sure what the art is on the front?

This whole line is gonna be Spielberg titles, isn't it?

Which side is the front on a Japanese a Steelbook? Are they flipped round like a Manga comic?

Satchyl · 08-14-2020, 07:28 PM

One of my favorite films. I love this and hate this at the same time.

Oh, but they only ship to the UK. I guess they decided for me.

Edit: Just saw the group buy. Hmmm, what to do...

rickah88 · 08-14-2020, 08:09 PM

Wish HMV shipped to the US. Maybe this pops up stateside, but I doubt it.

AlanUK · 08-15-2020, 11:56 AM

The Jaws one is good because it's a iconic image and poster, this one though I am not so sure and a no buy for me, I think this series will only work on certain films/posters like Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, Kill Bill, Ready Player One and Starship Troopers spring to mind for example.

I think the whole artwork on this steelbook is amazing and would probably go as far as to say it could be one of my favourite looking steelbooks.

What a beauty

I actually own about 200 Japanese original movie posters and this is one of them, love everything about Japanese posters

CreasyBear · 08-15-2020, 04:15 PM

Hands down the worst looking steelbook I've ever seen. What an abomination. Duel deserved better. Why is the back cover not the front cover?

Is the front Japanese art too?

bigrob · 08-16-2020, 06:12 AM

Does the 5.1 audio on this restore the original horn effect or is it still the modernised version from the DVD

aviosis · 08-16-2020, 07:24 AM

Damn I thought this was for a sudden 4K steelbook release of the film.

JimDiGriz · 08-16-2020, 07:50 PM

I wonder if they got Duel mixed up with The Color Purple?

HotRats · 08-22-2020, 09:14 PM

Here's the great looking Japanese poster before HMV's colour blind idiot got his hands on it

Just like in the US, there are different poster variations. HMV didn't try to color that poster, they were basing it off of this other JP poster..

HotRats · 08-22-2020, 10:30 PM

Why use the chirashi art (which is actually a pale, washed out pink not the eyeball scorching colour in the HMV advert) when the full colour poster art is so much nicer?

Anyway, if you'd like something good to look at here's TrekWorks' exceptional model of the truck

He also kitbashed a Plymouth Valiant

Indeed, I think simple striking artwork is generally most effective on steel books and this is one of the best I'v seen.
