Christopher Walken's "McBain" BD in the works! - Blu-ray Forum

UniSol GR77 · 06-14-2011, 02:38 PM

Hello guys,

Since the latest "The Exterminator" BD release I've been wondering about my fave James Glickenhaus movie, the underrated cult movie "McBain". Well, I contacted James Glickenhaus himself, and he confirmed a BD release is in the works, featuring his commentary !!!

Sounds good.

I thought this starred Ranier Wolfcastle.

Yeah, if you think "McBain" only got a barebone R2 DVD featuring a questionable video transfer.

NEWS:

and It will be a 2K transfer.
Now I know God exists!

Great, then this film is in good hands. I have suggested the film to the database, so it should show up later.

Glickenhaus still owns source tapes, original film elements and rights, so it has been nicely preserved.

McBain:

1- Cool story.
2- Terrific war scenes and action sequences.
3- Christopher Walken's only action hero role. Best haircut of his career.
4- Michael Ironside, Steve James, Maria Conchita Alonso.
5- Humour.
6- A revolution!
7- Most impossible scene ever filmed in movies history: McBain hits a jet (with a simple gun) from the cockpit of his small airplane, and the jet... falls off!

You cannot miss this.

UniSol GR77 · 06-15-2011, 05:38 PM

I'm waiting for more news from Glickenhaus... stay tuned!

100% agreed, I've been a fan of this movie since 1994 or so.

The UK DVD will be coming out in September:

Not Synapse.

But Glickenhaus confirmed me it's Synapse to be releasing the BD version of the movie in America.

UniSol GR77 · 09-13-2011, 08:42 AM

October release:

The movie is just him standing in front of a brick wall telling jokes. It cost $80 million to make.
