Another 48 hours is another one I would really want as well, but it's Paramount and who knows what their deal is.

What about Crossroads?

I'm a huge fan of Another 48 Hours, I need it on blu and I need it sooner than later

Mimi Rogers looks amazing in this, was she still married to Cruise at this point?

Too bad Murphy seemed like wanted to beanywhere else. I guess it makes sense considering that Murphy 's career had gone to the crapper and Nolte was at the start of a resurgence.

I usually avoid Kino like a plague, but it would be hard to do if they released Extreme Prejudice..

My guess is that Twilight Time will wind up releasing that one. They've already released The Driver, Wild Bill, and Geronimo: An American Legend and it's a Sony title, so I think it would be right in their wheelhouse.

Another movie that should be released as a budget disc. One of Ridley's lesser movies but still worth owning for $10 or less not $27 + tax. Even if it were 4K it still wouldn't be worth that much.

Received my copy from SF yesterday, and I watched it last night. I have to say, it's an impressive transfer. Visually, the film is so pristine, and SF have translated it well. Very filmic. Mimi Rogers looks great in it. Overall, this is an awesome release. This is the kind of stuff I like buying on Blu-ray--films new to the format.

Why did you already get it?
It´ll come out in 3 weeks.

Pre-ordering direct from Shout means getting it at least two weeks early (sometimes

).

I just bought this in a store in Toronto. The store is too expensive with their blu-rays but used a gift card towards it since I love this film and really wanted it. No slip, though.

Tom Berenger and Mimi Rogers are perfectly cast (and both look gorgeous). And of course, the stunning cinematography.

I miss when Hollywood made good romantic thrillers.

They had just gotten married (or were at least engaged) at this point. I don't think Tom really appreciated what he had, but then again, it was Mimi's fault for introducing him to Scientology.

Nobody that into Scientology is worth having too much. lol

Just received mine, looks and sounds great.
My Scott Brothers movies on Blu-ray collection is now complete

Did this Shout Select title came without their usuall slipcover??? Every Shout Select title had one in the past. If you are a collector and you pay more than 27 bucks for a catalog title of the 80's it is really a rip-off.

Todd Tomorrow · 04-06-2019, 02:39 PM

The first Ridley Scott film to disappoint me. Even if Legend wasn’t on the same level as Alien and Blade Runner, the quality of the world building was their equal. It’s still one of the best looking fantasy films ever made.

This movie was watchable enough but deeply ordinary. Berenger and Rogers lack the star quality to make glamours trifle like this work, the only one who gets to shine is Lorraine Bracco.

It doesn't come with a slipcover, many Shout Select titles do not. Like their Scream Factory label, only the Select titles that are released as Collector's Editions come with a slip.

This is one of the few films of his that I haven't seen, along with Black Rain. Are they on a similar level? They both seem to get labeled as "average at best" Ridley Scott films.

And totally agree regarding Legend. It's a shame it didn't turn out the way Scott intended, but visually I think it's absolutely stunning.

I’d give Black Rain the Edge over this, but “average at best” is about right.
