Lionsgate owns the right. Look like Lionsgate won't do with Shout.

So, I checked Amazon Instant and see that the studio listed is Universal. So either Lionsgate lost the rights or Universal just has some/streaming rights.

The DVD on amazon is like 25.00 USED !

A Blu Ray release is much needed

Doombear · 05-23-2018, 03:59 PM

This exists in the UK as a 25th Anniversary region-free version.

Yep. I have it, and it is region A compatible and looks good!

I have been considering upgrading to the blu ray but have found conflicting info about the region. On ebay and Amazon, some listings explicitly state that it's Region B while other sites seem to say that it's Region free.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...4Y1O7KMP&psc=1

The Amazon link states a ! warning that it's B and the quote above linked to a bluray.com article, also has "B" on the back picture of the cover art.

So, my question is: is there more than one release from the UK? There is a possible future US release with a green cover but all the one's that are out that I've seen have a red cover. So, could there be a zone B and a zone free with a very similar cover? Can it be listed as "B" but actually be Region Free?

I own this and this is the only version available. It does say Region B on the back cover but it’s actually region free. I tested it on region A,B and C and it plays fine for all regions. Great bunch of special features too.

The majority of retailers just state whatever region they're located in whether or not the cover states more than one region. Amazon is no different in that regard so not reliable, the few times they have said region free on any release are occasional exceptions and not common practice. Check either the blu-ray.com database or dvdcompare.net and if that fails just ask in the forum. Never just go by what the retailers state.
