Ordered! Decent art. Not the best, but far from terrible. At least it isn't the same art that been used for the last 30 years. Damn! I forgot The fugitive is 30 years old now!

And WB strikes again with more crappy art!! Looks like a fifth grader did the artwork. Whoever is over the WB designs approval obviously doesn't care and needs to be fired. But surprisingly...the slipcover art is actually good other than the 100 year crap at the top. Slipcover is sooooo much better!

I don't care!!

The artwork isn’t too bad, but yeah it’s better then the standard poster since ‘93. Even then the poster looked so bland.

Toetke · 09-26-2023, 07:46 PM

great movie, still after 30 years
Ford's best
must have

apg.0618 · 09-26-2023, 10:56 PM

Excited! Been waiting for this one.

Maybe what obi is saying is that when it comes to steelbon art quality...

I. DON'T. BARGAIN.

I personally could go either way on this.

It could be worse.

snipemonkey · 09-26-2023, 11:53 PM

I kinda like it. Better than the dull "Harrison Ford running at the speed of light" '93 poster image or the low-effort montage cover for the standard release.

Torgon · 09-27-2023, 12:44 AM

Hoping the price comes down on this a bit. $34 seems kind of high for an old catalog title. Gimme $22 or so and I might bite.

Blade and V for Vendetta steels say that you are out of luck... WB gotta get that money somehow

FlamedLiquid · 09-27-2023, 02:11 AM

Yah lot of older WB titles getting $30 plus price points. You won't see this go lower unless it doesn't sell well and gets a sale price later on

Trekkie313 · 09-27-2023, 02:25 AM

Wait for a foreign release to hit Ebay, that's how I got The Batman for $22.

fosho · 09-27-2023, 03:42 AM

hell yeah!

suckless · 09-27-2023, 04:24 AM

One of my favorite Ford movies, but still undecided which one to get. Slip and this cover are both ok in my opinion.

TheMantaBluRay · 09-27-2023, 07:07 AM

Honestly it's better than the 1993 poster. The artwork for the home video releases have always been nothing to write home about. So the fact that this steelbook at least makes an attempt at an artistically done representation for the film with decent results is a win.

Exactly. That's the art I was expecting and I've never liked that art. This movie is amazing but it's never had amazing artwork representing it. I like this steelbook and will get it if I can. There's just so much physical media coming out right now. I don't know how everyone else is keeping up.

Pretty sure Best Buy has never lowered the price on one of their store exclusives. Not unless something just doesn't sell and they end up with remainder stock a year or two later (such as 13 Hours), but no way that's happening with The Fugitive.

In a movie with dozens of great scenes, this artwork seems concerned with one scene in particular…and nothing else.

This is the most iconic and frequently referenced scene, though. And it's kinda cool that the artwork does show all stages of it. I don't think I've ever seen a steelbook do that before. I wasn't going to buy this, but this was another of my dad's favorite films. Just ordered it.
