Nice! The old Blu looked like shit.

dylrichard02 · 02-04-2024, 03:56 PM

Cool! More Walter Hill on 4K is always a good thing!

Yearbook · 02-04-2024, 03:58 PM

I never dreamed Walter Hill would be so well represented on UHD, love me some '80s Rourke.

George.P · 02-04-2024, 04:49 PM

Awesome. More Mickey Rourke, please.

This was unexpected, the movie looks kinda obscure.

bergman864 · 02-04-2024, 04:56 PM

Is this from the Studio Canal deal?

This is the kind of announcement I love to hear. Should be a nice upgrade from what's currently available.

ToonySpoonGoon · 02-05-2024, 01:15 AM

Incredible film in all its simplicity, also very sad, can't wait for this disc.

CelestialAgent · 02-05-2024, 01:20 AM

The Imprint release claimed to be from a 4K remaster, but was apparently just a recycled old master.

RFK · 02-05-2024, 01:35 AM

Great news on the release of another Walter Hill title.
Looking forward to more releases like Hard Times and The Long Riders on UHD!

Nice!

Starman22 · 02-05-2024, 10:59 PM

I seen this on Kino Lober Studio Classics Facebook page yesterday... great movie and great news!

OMG is this still not out. What's taking so long Kino. Why bother announcing something if it's not gonna be available immediately. So not fair

Usually takes a couple of months between announcement and street date with KL titles. Don't remember the exact time span for Face/off 4K, but it was 6 months at least....

It ended up being 12 months for Face/Off. It was announced December 2022. Some Kino titles only take 3 or 4 months and some have been well over a year since being announced and still nothing.

I know. I was joking (hence the

) because of the recent bumps to Uncle Buck and Sneakers which both were soft announced 6 months ago. That's minutes in Kino Lorber time and compared to Cry Baby (29 months), Brick (17 months) etc, etc. Would be really nice if Kino put out updates on these long lead titles every 6 months or so.

Remember seeing the this as a kid in San Diego on the late night movie channel. Probably around 1994 95. Always stayed with me, very excited to see this in 4k.

SpaceBlackKnight · 03-25-2024, 03:49 AM

4k HDR master by StudioCanal already completed. The wait is for Kino to receive the master from ze la French.
