Superb. Bottom rung Milius but some cracking aerial action and Dafoe more than makes up for Brad Johnson. Going to be the barest of bones like all these Paramount catalogue titles that have come out - and no doubt will reuse the existing master - but I’ll take it.

Brad Johnson...remember when he was supposed to be the "next big thing"? Dafoe and Glover are good (as always); too bad neither of them are the main star.

Nice! I missed out on the initial Lionsgate one.
I`m hoping they`ll re-issue Jade as well!

I liked this movie. The novel was way better though.

This could be reference material on UHD-BD with a new and proper Atmos remix. I have a feeling that this release will just be a copy of the old BD, warts and all, minted from the old DVD-era HD master.

Nice!

Ok, that was weird...this morning, this movie was $98 on Amazon.

Now it's $14, so it wasn't really out of print after all...

I guess they were just scalping the hell out of it.

Of course Paramount digs this one from the grave a few weeks after I gave up and bought it digitally after thinking a blu wouldn't return.

DukeTogo84 · 04-13-2021, 06:32 PM

Why did Lionsgate release the first release?

No, the old release is still $90+ from market sellers. The new release that is upcoming is $14.

We sure that's not Tom Berenger in the middle?

Yes! Finally! Great news, thank you...

Interesting that the original is like $40 for a BD-25 but the 2021 release is on a BD-50.. So there is a big difference it seems somewhere.. Better video or more extra's I have no clue.. Yes I watched this on the theater, had the dvd, was too late for the OOP 2010 one. $90 seriously. Nope.. but $8.99 hell yeah

Tshane72 · 12-30-2021, 06:25 PM

Older thread I know, but I wonder if this received a new transfer seeing as how the older release was on a BD-25 like noted above..now a BD-50..anyone here have this release? I can't find any reviews on the interwebs for this...

Endymion0000 · 12-30-2021, 09:40 PM

I don't have the old release to compare or even confirm that it was BD-25. Sometimes people enter the specs wrong. I try to correct them myself when I get a disc and see that it's not right.

Anyway, the new release BD-50 is 37.05 GB. It's just the movie and based on the previous review has additional 2.0 Dolby Digital tracks and subtitles for German, French and Japanese. I wouldn't expect that to boost the size a whole lot. At minimum it would seems to just have more space for encoding.

Caps-a-holic has more rate information:
https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=16214&d2=16211&c=6138

Video on new release: 35739 kbps
Old release: 20980 kbps

Transfer looks exactly the same.

Tshane72 · 12-30-2021, 09:51 PM

Thanks for the info...I'm no expert but how can the transfer look the same with such a higher bit-rate than the old release?

Endymion0000 · 12-30-2021, 09:59 PM

Transfer would be what's used as the source of the encode, which appears to be the same. So the differences would like with encoding quality / compression noise differences that turn up more with motion so the stills may not reflect the improvements.

Tshane72 · 06-03-2022, 06:10 PM

Just had to post this here, just learned Brad Johnson passed away due to Covid.....he was only 62. So sad to hear of this...Flight of the Intruder is still one of my favorite movies and he was great in it.

Luke Dodge748 · 06-03-2022, 06:12 PM

That freaking sucks. Terrible news...
