Lethal Weapon (re-issues) ? - Blu-ray Forum

Canada · 05-10-2008, 07:20 AM

I just watched Lethal Weapon ( The Directors Cut) on DVD. The original along with 2 have to be two of my favorite action movie ever. Is there any news on Warner re-issuing Blu Rays of LW and LW2 with the Directors Cuts and remastering the video and providing a lossless audio option?

I havent heard anything, but you never know....My guess is you wont see anything for some time though.....

what they should do is release all 4 in a package like the die hard series and make sure there done right, only wishful thinking i guess.

It will happen sooner or later. They like all studios will double dip every chance they get.

WickyWoo · 05-10-2008, 02:35 PM

Yes, maybe by the end of the year. Plans can and do change though

Meathead · 05-10-2008, 02:49 PM

I prefer the original cuts but where are LW 3 and 4 ?

syncguy · 05-10-2008, 02:57 PM

Yes, waiting for LW 3 and 4. What could be the delay?

WickyWoo · 05-10-2008, 02:58 PM

They're reissuing 1 and 2 in a box with 3 and 4

Hope this will be for all regions. And when would this going to happen?

BStecke · 05-11-2008, 06:04 AM

I just watched the first one the other day too. I was surprised to find it had a 1.5 mbps DTS track . . . which is, and correct me if I'm wrong, better than the track found on the Blu-ray, yes? Due to the horrid reviews of these discs I've waited on the Blu's . . . hopefully they make them worthwhile.

Fall supposedly, no locked in date yet however

Warner issued the LW movies very early in DVD life as well, right around launch time, then they reissued 1-3 in DIrector's Cut versions, but never redid LW4. I figure Warner will probably do a reissue with a half-assed box set and then do a big special edition box set a couple years later.

The 4-Pack DVD Is Only $9.99 At Target. Very Tempting....

But it's definitely happening? Damn, maybe i should sell 1 and 2. I haven't even opened them yet.

Are they getting remastered?

Most likely not. Probably just the current BDs of 1 and 2 with 3 and 4 included.

They went back and re-did A Perfect Storm. No reason to think they wouldn't do it for this as well. Didn't they admit there were issues with these?

And the nice single layered disc that Lethal Weapon 4 is on. And the 384kbps audio track that the newest one has.
