Old childhood fav, been waiting on this one...preordered immediately.

My dad took me to see Great White during its brief theatrical run in 1982. The red-band trailer for this movie ran before it. I was eleven years old. Still one of my fondest memories.

Interesting thing about this film is that unlike most cult films from the era, this one was actually a big mainstream success at the box office with almost $40 million. $114 million adjusted for inflation. Pretty damn impressive when you look at the other films it had to compete with during it's run: Conan the Barbarian, Rocky III, Road Warrior, Wrath of Khan, Poltergeist, E.T., Firefox, Blade Runner, The Thing, Tron, An Officer and a Gentleman, Porkys, Chariots of Fire...

Yep, I remember this movie being a big hit, and there were some critics out there who liked it, too. The year 1982 was great to be 13-14 years old and a movie fan.

1982 is the greatest year in film history.

I've had the DVD in my Amazon cart several times in the $30 range. Patience pays off. Be cool if they could offer a tri-sword letter opener bonus or something.

Love this film, haven't seen it in years, it should look amazing on Blu and UHD.

Lope de Aguirre · 12-16-2021, 07:47 PM

Haven't seen this and was waiting for a Blu-ray for quite some time now.

Will order the 4K UHD.

I don't normally pre-order from Scream but will make an easy exception to secure a copy of that awesome poster.

pab1219 · 12-16-2021, 10:38 PM

Target order in.

Samu_ · 12-16-2021, 10:44 PM

What? Really? Amazing news!

Hopefully it'll have the 2008 Australian DVD commentary with Pyun and Chris Gore.

Yes.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve watched this. I remember little more than lots of blood, some boobs, and that ridiculous sword with the blades that shoot out at people. I’m in.

This quote should be on the cover.

When does Shout charge you for pre-orders? When it is shipped or when you place the order?
