Synopsis
WOLVERINES!

From legendary director and screenwriter John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Conan The Barbarian) comes the tale of what-could-have-been, had the Cold War gone another way.

When Communist paratroopers descend on a Colorado high school football field, a group of the school's students wages an all-out guerilla war to save their town — and their country. Featuring an all-star cast, including Patrick Swayze (Road House), Charlie Sheen (Platoon), Lea Thompson (Back To The Future), C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), Powers Boothe (Tombstone) and Harry Dean Stanton (Alien), Red Dawn "comes up like thunder" (New York Post)!

[DR Herbert West]

Cool.

This sounds great!

What's the chances of Road House getting a 4K release from Shout Factory under the Select line?

[BerryTheMusicMan]

I'm in , great fun still remember getting out of school and meeting my friends at the theater for this . Kids today are lucky in that they didn't grow up like us thinking this might happen in the not too distant future .

Spotted in Ukraine over the past few months. Wonder if the taggers are even old enough to have seen this movie.

Had to .

The spine design is odd. Cool release though.

That's how all the spines look in the Shout Select line.

That being said, hell yes, this was an abysmal blu-ray and the SF encode was actually worse than the MGM blu. Passed on the SF release because of that but since this will certainly be a new scan, I'll definitely be picking it up.

Glad I passed on the previous shit release. Happy to add this to the collection.

[1924]

This is great news. This one badly needs a remaster

[THUNDERSTRUCK]

"Avenge me"!

[Maximux]

Nice!! can't wait

[dylrichard02]

Nice, it could use a new scan!

Also another H.D. Stanton film on UHD!

While the Soviet Union was the only other superpower outside of the United States for the better part of the second half of the 20th century, making it second most powerful, it was never powerful enough to actually pose a serious threat to the US. The premise of this movie is a total nonsense scenario.

I understand that what kids worry about doesn't always reflect reality, though. I mean, I had plenty of my own irrational childhood fears, so I'm not judging anyone else too harshly.

I was in 7th grade when this came out and one class took a field trip to the theater to see it. Think it was history class but not positive on that. Doubt kids today will get to do stuff like that.

oh man, I bought this twice on shout since the first copy was a punch out, and a third time for an mgm disc since there were issues with the shout.

Unless you live in Ukraine. This practically a documentary for them

[Brian81]

Yeah, I think I want Road House and Streets of Fire now.
