Now that it's out, can anyone confirm if the regular Blu-ray included has the newly remastered transfer or if it's a port from an old release? Thanks

Old release I'm afraid.

More talk about the Blu-Ray than the 4K in the 4K thread, lol.

They've already put PREDATOR out on Blu-Ray twice already. Probably don't feel a third dip is worth it at this point in time, regardless of how they erred on both of the earlier releases.

The initial blu ray release is actually quite solid. Not really sure why it gets so much hate honestly. Probably because it's "old". I watched it a few weeks ago and was really surprised by how well it's held up especially with an MPEG-2 encode. May not be quite as good as the UHD but definitely blows the horrid Hunter edition out of the water (that's not too hard to do though).

I received the Predator trilogy (1-2-predators) in 4K last week and I held off buying Predator since selling my DVD over the years because of the DNR debacle of previous releases.

I am truly stunned by the 4K versions of Predator 1 & 2. They are glorious to behold and I was marvelling at the shots and detail within the image. This is definitely reference material as far as I'm concerned.

One minor point with the Predator 4K disc; When I started to watch the movie, there were digital blocks visible in the opening credits; I thought 'oh crap', faulty disc, and took it out of my Xbox. Turned out to be a spot which I could clean but still, the physical disc looks cheap, it's almost see through!

Is this the same for the standalone release?
