20 years YIKES..I remember buying a ticket to this and sneaking into training day as a kid. Actually ended up getting caught and told to go back to Hard Ball haha.. I'm glad I did though. Good movie. I'll be adding it to the collection!

I created a Blu-ray version of the DVD cover art for anyone interested. See below.

Paramount has really been hitting it out of the park lately.

Every time I turn around they're putting out another title on Blu-ray that previously was only available to stream in HD.

Just pre-ordered. Can't wait to give this a spin.

Massive thanks Amish Paradise... really love your covers!
On this occasion I'll stick with the official Paramount one as it has Diane Lane on the over

I can't argue with you there. Diane Lane front and center, always!

Can confirm the release has the following features:

Commentary by Director Brian Robbins and Writer John Gatins
The Making of Hardball
Deleted Scenes: Duffy's Tavern; The Funeral Parlor; and Talking to the Kids
Music Video: "Hardball" by Lil' Bow Wow, Lil' Wayne, Lil' Zane and Sammie
Theatrical Trailer
Interstitials: Andre/Baseball Star; Andre/Bling, Bling; and Kofi

The interesting aspect is there was a little sticker on the shrink wrap stating the discs were made in Germany and packaged in the USA.

I wonder how's the video quality?

NKB2017 · 09-25-2021, 08:34 AM

There is an unboxing video and the extra features are on the release. No mention of the PQ or AQ but the DVD was decent if i remember correctly

Vict · 09-25-2021, 09:00 AM

Found some "reviews" on google but they're mostly about the movie & not the transfer except for one at flickdirect.com. The reviewer says it looks pretty good
